Fiber channel tape drive config help
Hi all,
I am trying to get an FC tape library configured and I'm almost there but for one issue - I can't access the tape drives very well. Here's what I have. Sun Enterprise 250 with Solaris 9 JNI FCI-1063 PCI HBA with JNIfcaPCI (v2.6.13 driver) package Veritas Netbackup 4.5 MP6 Quantum/ATL P2000 library with FC230 card and 8 SDLT (220) drives Brocade Silkworm 2800 switch Solaris can see the drives and makes all 8 in /dev. Netbackup's sgscan sees all the devices. robtest can move all the tapes around. But I can't get much info back from the tape drives directly from Solaris using mt or tar. After I first load a tape in a drive I get this after a 5-10 second pause. # mt -f /dev/rmt/4cbn status QuantumSuperDLT tape drive: sense key(0x6)= Unit Attention residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 0 block no= 0 Then this until I unload and reload the tape. # mt -f /dev/rmt/4cbn status /dev/rmt/4cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline Here is the st.conf entries and boot console output, etc. Any thoughts what to persue next? I have no support on ANY of these devices.

Get a new server or be sorry. If you want working FC_Tape support I suggest that you ask your tape library vendor for certified, tested and working configurations. If they can't provide any, dont buy their tape library. /wfr Fredrik -- Fredrik Lundholm dol @ ce.chalmers.se |

One problem is that there are no FC SDLT tape drives. You actually have SCSI-tape drives behind a bridge. This is a known source of problems. This usually means that the drives must sit on a loop, not in a fabric. (which can lead to silent data corruption and/or disruptions of service for all drives just because one unit acts up) The other problem might be the FC card in the E250 and its driver, do you have access to Sun branded cards you could try!? The switch, in the 2800 days the firmwares were incompatible between different OEM:s of the same switch even. From where have you got the 2800!? Have you tried a Sun compatible firmware on it!? Problem is that Sun started OEM:ing broacades with the 3800 series. Try a storagetek firmwared 2800 firmware and a JNI 6460N FC card. Can you access the drives with SCSI direct attach!? that might be a option if you're not planinng on using all 8 drives simultaneously. /wfr Fredrik -- Fredrik Lundholm dol @ ce.chalmers.se |

(which can lead to silent data corruption and/or disruptions of service for all drives just because one unit acts up) An ATL FC-230 Card Logs into the fabric as a fabric device. Your JNI Fibre Card is set for loop, not fabric. You should change the JNI card to fabric and make the appropriate changes in the conf file for establishing static bindings. |

Kyle,
I've configured FC tape devices twice. In one instance a SCSI t oFC router sat between the brocade switch and the scsi drives. In that case I had to add st.conf entries to account for the multiple luns seen on one target. Let me explain. The SCSI/FC router had 1 FC port and 4 SCSI connections. On the server I bound the HBA to the SCSI/FC router port using a specific scsi target. All the tape drives were seen as luns on the single target/port. In another instance the library had 9940 drives with fibre channel built into the drives. In that case the drives were connected directly to the switch and the HBA was bound to each drive on different targets which simplified st.conf requirements. It is important to note that in both cases the drives were connected to a fabric and not a loop. I mention that because I noticed "LOOP Initializations" in your console messages above and I wonder if you need to set your HBA's to fabric only. Vic |

victim of a drive-by shooting...
2 cups finely chopped very young human flesh 1 cup shredded cabbage 1 cup bean sprouts 5 sprigs green onion, finely chopped 5 cloves minced garlic 4-6 ounces bamboo shoots Sherry chicken broth oil for deep frying (1 gallon) Salt pepper soy & teriyaki minced ginger, etc. 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water 1 egg beaten Make the stuffing: Marinate the flesh in a mixture of soy and teriyaki sauces then stir fry in hot oil for till brown - about 1 minute, remove. Stir-fry the vegetables. Put the meat back into the wok and adjust the seasoning. De-glaze with sherry, cooking off the alcohol. Add broth (optional) cook a few more minutes. Add the cornstarch, cook a few minutes till thick, then place the stuffing into a colander and cool; 2 hours Wrap the rolls: Place 3 tablespoons of stuffing in the wrap, roll tightly - corner nearest you first, fold 2 side corners in, wrap till remaining corner is left. Brush with egg, seal, and allow to sit on the seal for a few minutes. Fry the rolls: 325° if using egg roll wraps, 350° for spring roll wraps. Deep fry in peanut oil till crispy golden brown, drain on paper towels. Lemon Neonate Turkey serves just as well, and |
