storage agent / tapeutil question for HPUX

2005-12-27 Thread goc

hi all,
after installing tapeutil and atdd for HPUX i must detect serial numbers for
tape devices, after starting tapeutil and opening device /dev/rmt/1mnb
i get

Device /dev/rmt/1mnb opened.
INQUIRY rc 22 (Invalid argument)
The IOC_REQUEST_SENSE ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Failure obtaining device PID

ioscan returns for one tape
tape  2  0/10/0/0.1.18.255.12.9.0   stape  CLAIMED DEVICE   IBM
ULT3580-TD1
  /dev/rmt/2m /dev/rmt/2mnb
/dev/rmt/c28t9d0BESTn
  /dev/rmt/2mb/dev/rmt/c28t9d0BEST
/dev/rmt/c28t9d0BESTnb
  /dev/rmt/2mn/dev/rmt/c28t9d0BESTb

i'm confused about STAPE parameter, on test platform which did ok i get

tape  1  0/5/0/0.5.17.255.12.12.0  atdd   CLAIMED DEVICE   IBM
ULT3580-TD1
 /dev/rmt/1m /dev/rmt/1mnb
/dev/rmt/c3t12d0BESTn
 /dev/rmt/1mb/dev/rmt/c3t12d0BEST
/dev/rmt/c3t12d0BESTnb
 /dev/rmt/1mn/dev/rmt/c3t12d0BESTb

ATDD worked fine

during installation the production server hanged and we needed a reboot !

how to get rid of loaded STAPE driver (i asume it's a driver) and make it
use atdd (if installed correctly)

#dmesg returns among other stuff this ...

atdd: load() called
atdd: Class is tape
atdd: control init!
atdd: Load complete!

storage agent is version 5.3.1.5
server is 5.3.1.5
the communication works fine

here is a tapeutil tryout

i asume that atdd didn't after all install/load correctly, what do you think
?

another thing on test machine command
# /opt/atdd/bin/atdd_cfg -g DEVICES
DEVICES: 6

it gives 6 which is okay ... but on new machine

-- /opt/atdd/bin/atdd_cfg -g DEVICES
Error opening Configuration file /dev/rmt/atdd.cfg: rc=-1, errno=2

it seems that atdd configuration is broken ...

what to do ? remove it then reinstall ? how will device recognize that they
need atdd ?

does insf -e has options for defining which drivers shoud tape devices use ?

sooo many questions, so little answers on these holidays ... :-|

sorry for long post but i really need help,
thanks for any clue

goran
merry xmas and happy new year
