Subject: Tapes on ciss
Date: Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 10:08 pm

I've got a Compaq DL380G1 with a Smart 5300 card (ciss). I've got an
array plugged into port 1, and a tape plugged into port 2. The BIOS
setup for the card sees everything, but OpenBSD doesn't see the tape,
nothing in dmesg. I don't even see the second scsibus for ciss. Any
suggestions?

talking to tape drives and such things behind raid controllers typically
takes a lot more work, and few of our drivers have support for that.

IIRC (and thats debatable as this is old memory) a number of the compaq
array cards do *not* support tape devices behind the scsi bus. it was
only intended for connecting further disks to.

i think its expected to see it in the bios though even if it can't be
used in pass-through configuration.

if this applies to your device, it will be documented in the 5300
technical info.
