Then you are all set. Have you rebooted the system? ---

Yes I have done lots of restarts after this installation … but I still get the same hardware errors. Should I roll back to centos 7 (I really don’t want to)? ---

Can you try unloading and then reloading the module and catch the output? modinfo mpt3sas | grep -E ‘filename|version’ lsmod | grep mpt3sas sudo modprobe -r mpt3sas lsmod | grep mpt3sas sudo modprobe mpt3sas lsmod | grep mpt3sas Then repeat this with megaraid\_sas. ---

Thank you so much. There is no way I would have got this result without you. Many many thanks. My adventure continues by learning how to control the tape drives in the terminal.
