insf -e -H 0/2
insf -e -H 0/6

And you get the device files installed. It seesm the HP box can see the tape drives.

still i faced same issue

Nitesh It seems u are not getting rmt path of your drives even after insf -e command .. need to check your drivers for that

[Nicolai]

Check that the stape device driver is added to the kernel. For robotic control add the mchanger as well.

@nitesh: Please explain what you want. Are you looking to install tapes drives or inventory a robot for virtual tapes ?.
