On RHEL, lsscsi works pretty well too for listing out your robot resources at 
the OS level..

Did you put SELinux into permissive (at least) mode, to get it out of the way?

I had some problems getting RHEL6 to work with 6.5.x (and have since upgraded 
it up to 7.5.x), it turned out to be the 32- vs 64-bit installer base. I had to 
install a *ton* of 32-bit compat libraries to get it to see the drives. I don’t 
really have an exhaustive list, it was dredging through log & error files to 
get the right things installed (and doing a lot of “yum search” & “yum 
provides”).

NBU wont matter if the OS won’t see the drives.

Check /proc/scsi/scsi??  to see if it configured the drives.

The check /dev/st0 /dev/st1 /dev/nst0 /dev/nst0 etc…
mt   –f /dev/st0 status …… etc.

Zoning maybe hosed. Did you activate the Zone?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Hardware & OS upgrade blues

Hi, list. I’m upgrading from a Dell 2850 to a Dell 1950, from RHEL4 to RHEL5 
and eventually from NBU 7.0.1 to 7.5. First I have to get the hardware upgrade 
completed.

I have 2 QLogic HBAs in my new server - QLE2460’s. I have installed the QLogic 
drivers and also SANsurfer. The HBAs are configured and attached to our FC 
switch and to a Quantum i2000 robotic tape library. Feel free to disbelieve me 
and ask all the questions you want.

I can see the LUNs from SANsurfer and when I logon to the ADIC tape library’s 
GUI, I can see the HBAs. However, NBU won’t detect the HBAs drive by autoscan. 
I was on the phone with Symantec for about 3 hours today and we did not solve 
the problem although we did make progress.

Does anyone have any ideas about what part of the configuration I’ve missed or 
overlooked? I am not a FC guru by any stretch so I could easily have missed 
something important.

Thanks,
Mike
