[Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
You don't need to unconfigure first. Also, depending on your setup, you may not want to configure all devices on the adapter. I tend to be more granular and run "cfgadm -c configure cX::WWPN" where WWPN is the world wide number of the device you would like to configure. You also may be able to do this at the lun level (which would be cX::WWPN,LUN), but I've never tried to, nor do I have any real reason to. msponsler wrote: > Next time try doing a `cfgadm -al`.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
Next time try doing a `cfgadm -al`. You'll probably see the tape device as unconfigured. do a `cfgadm -c unconfigure cX` (cX is the channel...it's the left hand collumn in `cfgamd -al` such as c6 or c5, etc...) and then a `cfgadm -c configure cX` That's worked for me in the past. You'll also need to make sure that your sg.conf file has the correct targets and luns defined in itwhen you do your `sg.build all -mt X -ml X` -- Mike Sponsler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vines, Peter (psv2b) Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 3:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
A solution that worked, and suggested by a Veritas-bu subscriber, was to manually add the tape drives to st.conf and reload the driver. This successfully generated the missing /dev/rmt entries and allowed me to proceed with the robot and drive configuration using tpconfig.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
My guess is that you need to add the WWN to the st.conf... Something like this: name="st" class="scsi" target=c0tw500308c00189780al1; Do that for each drive and then reload the st driver... modinfo -i |grep st modunload -i (number of st driver) devfsadm -i st That ought to clear it up. One other possibility is to run the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build command and have it build the sg.conf entries. Then, just change the 'name="sg"' to be name="st" and put that in st.conf. -Tim On 12/24/07, Vines, Peter (psv2b) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Adding the entry to st.conf followed by a boot -r did NOT fix my problem. > The missing /dev/rmt entries are still missing. > > I've opened another issue with SUN. > > The original six drvies in the L700 are still there and usable. > > The new four drives in the Scalar i2000 do not exist in /dev/rmt, yet are > shown in cfgadm. > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Peter Vines > Sent: Wed 12/12/2007 7:13 PM > To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu > Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt. > > SUN's response is that my st.conf is missing: > > name="st" parent="fp" target=0; > > >From looking at old files, this line was probably removed by mistake in 2005 > >during another drive configuration, and obviously is not needed for the > >existing L700 and 9840 drives which are working fine. > > Now to find time and get permission to boot the production server... > > > >> > >> > >> On Dec 10, 2007 6:39 PM, Peter Vines <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> > >> > I recently added connectivity to a Scalar i2000 with 4 LTO3 drives, > >> to a > >> > Solaris 8 server. > >> > I removed all the entries in /dev/rmt, reconfigure booted, went > >> through > >> > the sg install process, yet the server does not have entries in > >> /dev/rmt > >> > for the new drives.

Just for future use, it's often possible to reload 'st' without a reboot. Unlike the 'sd' driver, you can probably stop using the 'st' driver for a minute (any time no drives are in use or "open" in an application). If so, use 'modinfo' to find the id of the 'st' driver, then use 'modunload -i ' to unload it. After that, simply accessing a device will reload the driver, and it will reread the st.conf at that time. On more recent versions of Solaris you may be able to use 'update_drv' instead, but the above will work on older versions as well. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
I've been a bit out of practice with Solaris, but have you tried running devfsadm or performing a reconfiguration reboot? Failing that you could, as some suggested, rebuild your path_to_inst file by renaming it and running 'devfsadm -r /a -p /a/etc/path_to_inst' or 'boot -ar' and accepting all the defaults except for the path_to_inst file. Hope that helps.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
There goes that idea... :) So, your HBA's can see the LUNs, and cfgadm has identified them as tape devices. It seems like it's just devfs that isn't getting updated correctly... A couple other things to consider: Are there device files for these drives under /devices?find /devices | grep st.*cbn$ Are there entries in /etc/path_to_inst for these new tape drives? grep st /etc/path_to_inst If the /devices files exist, then I believe the st driver is doing it's thing. If there are no entries in path_to_inst then the devfs stuff is failing, if the entries are there, then I don't know what to say... You could try re-building path_to_inst, but Sun support would probably be your best bet. -devon -Original Message- From: Peter Vines [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 3:53 PM To: Peters, Devon C Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.

Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
Interesting... I just noticed that you mention you're using Solaris 8 on this host. Do you know if you have the st patch that provides IBM LTO3 drive support? A quick way to check is to run "strings /kernel/drv/sparcv9/st | grep LTO", and see if IBM Gen 3 LTO is listed. -devon -Original Message- From: Peter Vines [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 3:35 PM To: Peters, Devon C Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.

Peter, I would guess that Sean is correct. I don't believe the default st.conf file for Solaris 10 includes support for tape drives that aren't lun 0. >From what you show below your tape drives all start after LUN 0 (1, 2, 3, and 4).

[Veritas-bu] New tape drives not appearing in /dev/rmt.
I recently added connectivity to a Scalar i2000 with 4 LTO3 drives, to a Solaris 8 server. I removed all the entries in /dev/rmt, reconfigure booted, went through the sg install process, yet the server does not have entries in /dev/rmt for the new drives. The server is connected to two tape libraries: 1-L700 with 6 9840 drives, 2-i2000 with 4 LTO3 drives. The L700 drives continue to be present on the system and usable. I've also tried devfsadm, drvconfig, tapes, etc... Why don't the entries appear in /dev/rmt? I've done the same process on multiple Solaris 10 servers, connected to the same SAN and they all work fine. cfgadm -o show_FCP_dev -al c8 fc-fabricconnectedconfigured unknown c8::500308c00189780a,0 med-changer connectedconfigured unknown c8::500308c00189780a,1 tape connectedconfigured unknown c8::500308c00189780a,2 tape connectedconfigured unknown c9 fc-fabricconnectedconfigured unknown c9::500308c00189780b,0 med-changer connectedconfigured unknown c9::500308c00189780b,3 tape connectedconfigured unknown c9::500308c00189780b,4 tape connectedconfigured unknown sgscan /dev/sg/c0tw500308c00189780al0: Changer: "ADICScalar i2000" /dev/sg/c0tw500308c00189780al1: Tape (???): "IBM ULTRIUM-TD3" /dev/sg/c0tw500308c00189780al2: Tape (???): "IBM ULTRIUM-TD3" /dev/sg/c0tw500308c00189780bl0: Changer: "ADICScalar i2000" /dev/sg/c0tw500308c00189780bl3: Tape (???): "IBM ULTRIUM-TD3" /dev/sg/c0tw500308c00189780bl4: Tape (???): "IBM ULTRIUM-TD3" /dev/sg/c0tw500104f000438becl0: (/dev/rmt/2): "STK 9840" /dev/sg/c0tw500104f00043e256l0: (/dev/rmt/0): "STK 9840" /dev/sg/c0tw500104f00045cbb4l0: (/dev/rmt/1): "STK 9840" /dev/sg/c1tw500104f000438e6el0: (/dev/rmt/3): "STK 9840" /dev/sg/c1tw500104f000438f10l0: (/dev/rmt/4): "STK 9840" /dev/sg/c1tw500104f000480658l0: (/dev/rmt/5): "STK 9840" ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
