CentOS - Oct 2006 - HP Surestore 12000e and multi-LUN

I am running CentOS 4.4 and trying to bring up my tape library.  When I
do cat /proc/scsi/scsi, it shows only the drive and not the changer
although both are shown when the Adaptec card initializes.

I recall in the distant past that I had to do "something" to get the
kernel to properly scan the SCSI bus for the additional LUN but I cannot
for the life of me recall what that was.  It would have also been a much
earlier kernel.

Can anyone here help me out?

Regards,

paul

add options scsi_mod "max_luns=16" to /etc/modules.conf and rebuilt
the initrd
image, then reboot. I think this was max_scsi_luns in 2.4 kernels. If one
doesn't work, try the other.
