Ultrium drives / drivers

[Dirk Moolman]

I have found a manual that tells you the steps to install & configure
Ultrium drives on Linux.  I copy and paste part of it below.

The part that worries me, are the 3 drivers (modules?) at the bottom. St
is loaded, but the name of the third one confuses me - is this a mistake
in the manual (that this should be for the IBM AIX platform), or must
this driver actually be loaded on my SUSE platform ?


=================
FROM THE MANUAL
=================

No changes are needed to support Ultrium on Linux platforms, however you
should ensure that you have the relevant drivers loaded.

To see the device drivers loaded currently, execute an lsmod command,
this
will give output like:

Module Size Used by
sgm 4376 1
ide-scsi 7200 0
lockd 30792 1
sunrpc 53316 1
st 24656 0
ncr53c8xx 52096 1
aic7xxx 136184 2
Linux 19
Linux


The lines of interest here are:

st 
This is the tape driver. Its presence in the output of the lsmod
command shows that the tape driver is loaded.

ncr53c8xx 
This is a SCSI chipset driver for the LSI Logic family of HBAs
(amongst others).

aix7xxx 
This is a SCSI chipset driver for the Adaptec 7xxx chipset
family (such as Adaptec 29160LP).
