Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller as a SCSI Controller

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. I know you can define a JBOD but a JBOD is not passed through as a physical disk. In most RAID controllers you can still carve up a JBOD into multiple LUNS. The devices the OS sees are "logical abstractions" of the devices the RAID controller sees and need to be be mapped to the physical devices in the controller. Dave G4UGM maybe SCSI
