[Ferreira, B. <Bru...@CO...>]

Hi Everybody!

I apreciate your help on this RedHat Linux issue.

We have a Customer that has the following environment:
3x ProLiant DL360G1 with one DAT 20/40GB External Tape Drive for all of =
them;
2x ProLiant DL380G2 with one DAT 20/40GB Hot Plug Tape Drive for both =
servers;
All of this servers have Linux installed (versions 7.2 and 7.1).

Customer wants to do backup of the data of this servers, BUT, as our =
Technical Support said:=20
"Tape Drives on Embedded Array Controller Not Supported by Cpqarray =
Driver
The Linux cpqarray driver does not support tape drives. Either an =
additional
SCSI controller must be added to control the tape drive, or an =
additional
array controller must be added for the hard drives and the Integrated =
Smart
Array cache chip be removed from the System I/O Board."

Our questions:
1. There is any new cpqarray Linux driver that supports both Drives and =
Tape Drive on the same SCSI bus? If not, there are any future plans for =
it?
2. In case that we don't have any software/driver solution, please let =
us now how can we solve this issue with minimum costs for customer.


Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
