I have had complete access to the RAID container and it is working fine.
The tape drive is not part of the container.  "camcontrol devlist" is not
showing anything so it is at a level below the driver.

FYI - after spending 1.5 hours on the phone with dell we determined that the
onboard 7899 controller is bad.  I have been troubleshooting a hardware
problem.  We only got it to show once at boot time in bios after a NVRAM
wipe.  The PERC controller will not support the tape drive itself.  This is
the reason the sa driver is not picking up the tape drive.
