Ali,
Its been a long time, but I think the answer is no. A tape is not a
disk and
uses a different SCSI command set to a disk. For example you can't
rewind a
disk.
I found a SmartArray 3200 manual here:-
http://index-of.es/Tutorials/Proliant%201600/SmartArray3200.pdf
and in the Q&A it says :-
Q. Does the Smart Array 3200 Controller support SCSI tape drives and
CD-ROM
drives?
A. No; the Smart Array 3200 Controller only supports Wide-Ultra2
SCSI,Wide-Ultra SCSI-3, Fast-Wide SCSI-2, and Fast SCSI-2 hard drives.
So I would say not.
Dave,
RTFM - Read The Friggin Manual. :) That pretty much settles it. Thanks for
finding that bit of info. I am going to throw in an Adaptec controller in
there and call it done!
