PATCH ID:HF050001961-42

 * INCIDENT NO:3539057	 TRACKING ID:3520178

SYMPTOM: VOM 5.0 hbaapp rewinds tape drives, causing a potential risk of overwriting
previously backed up data. 

DESCRIPTION: On VOM 5.0 Linux Agent with tape Drives attached, VOM hbaapp tries to perform SCSI
inquiry on Tape Drives and it may cause tapes to rewind.
Though, hbaapp uses '-P' flag to skip tape drives discovery in VOM but due to
bug in the code, hbaapp was not skipping SCSI inquiry on tape drives. 

RESOLUTION: Skip SCSI inquiry on Tape Drives when hbaapp is running with '-P'
flag.
