I have just been told to manage a DELL PowerEdge6400 Database Server. I have to find the proper media management software for DLT1 tape for Oracle RMAN backup , but to do this, I have to know the vendor and the model.<br />
There is no visible vendor name and model on tape, and when I type cdrecor -scanbus, I get the result &quot;bnchmark DLT removable tape&quot;.<br />
<br />
How may I reach, identify, read, write, and manage the tape drive on Suse Linux?
