Brian,
What would be better is to show us the rack configuration of what cards are actually known. You can certainly have a LVD tape drive on an 810, but what version of the operating system are you running?

Subject: Tape Drive not Detected
Hi All,
I'm having an issue with connecting a tape drive to our iSeries box. The box is a 9406-810 (yes, yes I know it's old, but I need to back it up and restore it to the new server). The tape drive I have is a 3580-L43 single tape drive SCSI ID 0. The card I installed in the 810 is a 2749 which has two ports - SCSI ID 0, SCSI ID 1. I originally removed this card from an i520 box and installed it in slot C02 on the 810. I connected the LVD cable from the LTO drive to SCSI PORT ID 1 on the interface card. When I IPLed the system I would normally expect to see the tape drive there when I do a WRKDEVD *TAP. However, there are no tape drives present which would lead me to believe it might be misconfigured or I am missing something.
Anyone have any ideas where I should start? I went into SST and looked under packaging resources and there are two tape units listed there, but neither of them are the model that I have (they are listed as 3580-003 and 3580-001 - checking the serial number on both shows neither of them are the device I am trying to set up).
Looking into the failed and non-reporting logical hardware resources I see these items:
Description Type-model Status Resource Name
Storage IOA ? 5702-001 Unknown DC04
Storage IOA ? 2749-001 Unknown DC03
Tape Unit ? 3580-003 Unknown TAP03
Tape Unit ? 3580-001 Unknown TAP04
I'm a bit stuck on how to proceed....what are my next steps to try and get this resolved so I can get the LTO operational?
Thankee-sai!
