Hi everyone
I bought a Seagate TapeStor STT20000N-C. It's a internal SCSI drive that
does hardware compression. It uses 10/20gb tapes (TR-5 aka QIC 32200), and
is the only device off a adapatec 2930 card.
I downloaded and installed arkeia version 4.2.2-2.
I checked the arkeia archives and followed a thread about a person not
getting this to work, but nothing helpful (to me) to solve it.
The drive is detected by the kernel on bootup as st0, the aic7xxx and st
modules get loaded when I use the tape, and mt/tar works fine with it.
I have gone through the quickstart and done test backups to a NULL tape
from both the server and a client.
My problems:
1. I chose STD QIC for the device. I was very surprised to not see all the
different QIC types listed. Is this ok? If not, how do I add a new type?
2. I chose QIC 25GB for the tape. there was no 10/20GB choice, and
couldn't find a way to add a new tape type. How do I do this?
3. When i start a *real* interactive backup it says "drvie 'TRAVAN Drive'
is locked" repeatedly evety minute. When thi si occuring I can happily
access the tape with mt.
I should be more specific and say that when I first tried, I got a message
saying something to the effect of insert a tape (on ewas already in). So I
tried an mt rewind command and got a /dev/st0: Input/output error.
I rmmod the modules, and then mt/tar commands went back to normal, so I
tried arkeia again. It was at this point that I got the locked error. Ever
since then, that's the only error I get.
thanks
