DLT Tape Drive not recognized by guest OS

Hello,

 

 

The host is Debian Linux 4.  The guest is Windows Server 2003 Standard.  The tape drive is a scsi DLT TH5BA-YF. 

 

 

 

 

 

The host recoginzes the drive fine.  I ran a ' cat /proc/scsi/scsi ' and received the following output:

 

 

Attached devices:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00

  Vendor: Adaptec  Model: TamStage         Rev: V1.0

  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00

  Vendor: Quantum  Model: DLT4000          Rev: D991

  Type:   Sequential-Access                ANSI SCSI revision: 02

 

 

I added a generic SCSI device to the guest.  I specified  /dev/st0 as the physical SCSI device to connect to.  I set the Virtual SCSI Device Node to 1:5.

 

 

When I power on the guest os, I receive the following error:

 

 

 

 

 

"Virtual device scsi1:5: Read-only file system. The virtual device may not be configured to use the Linux Generic SCSI driver (typically by using a /dev/sg* host device). Please see the product documentation for more information.

Virtual device scsi1:5 will start disconnected."

 

 

 

 

 

Any Ideas?
