Hi!

My problem is that i don't get my Tape Drives & Library show up under Proxmox over Fiber Channel.
Under Windows i installed OCManager from Emulex and everything showed up in Device Manager, easy, but under Linux i don't know.

My HBA(emulex lpe11002) is recognized and show up:
Code:
root@HPE-DL-02:~# ls -l /sys/class/fc_host
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May  8 10:46 host0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:10:00.0/host0/fc_host/host0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May  8 10:46 host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:10:00.1/host2/fc_host/host2

now i try get things running:
Code:
echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host2/issue_lip
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
(Yes host2 is Online)

But no device from this HBA is showing up under scsi:
Code:
root@HPE-DL-02:~# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00

  Vendor: HP       Model: LOGICAL VOLUME   Rev: 6.40
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI  SCSI revision: 05

Now what i have to do to get it working?
I can't find information about tape drives over Fiber Channel... Maybe they are handled different to normal Storage?

Thanks for you help!!!
