List the tape drives installed in solaris

Hi ,
Can some one please let me know how can I display the tape drives which is installed in Solaris (below Version 8)
In solaris 8 we can use cfgadm , However below 8 other than prtconf is there any command or way to findout the devices installed . prtconf and sysdef command outputs are too difficult to digest ,
Thanks
Dileep

Yes I can see the following things .
I would like to use a command which will list all the devices installed in a user friendly manner .
root on LIVE netra1 # ls -l *hbn<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 52 Jul 3 1998 0hbn -> ../../devices/sbus@3,0/SUNW,fas@0,8800000/st@4,0:hbn
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 50 Jul 3 1998 1hbn -> ../../devices/sbus@a,0/QLGC,isp@2,10000/st@1,0:hbn

MS SQL 2005 not recognize the tape drive?

I have a SQL 2005 Server (SP1) running on Windows 2003 server machine. Now windows can detect the tape drive attached to the system as 'HP StorageWorks DLT VS160'. Even 'ntbackup' detects it and is able to backup data to the tape drive. However, SQL Server is unable to detect the tape drive. The tape does not show up in the Backup Devices in Server Objects and hence I'm unable to take backups directly to the tape via SQL Server. How do I get SQL 2005 to recognize the tape drive?

Hi,
I dont know if you trying to install new tape drive or old.
If its new, thn after installing Tape driver restart your server(tape should be online with correct light indication).
Then goto mycomputer->properties and under removable drives it should show your tape drives with name.
Second you can download the campatible HP tool from HP website, install and run.
It will tell you almost everything about your drives and you can upgrade tape firmware too.
Make sure you stop SAP service before running HP tool as it may restart your server too with blue screen or dump.
So be very sure about compatibility of the tool.

Mani

Sun StorEdge 2U SDLT 600 Tape Drive install issue

After installing the tape drive and doing a scsi probe I get the following errors:
ERROR: LSI1030 MPT FIRMWARE, FAULT CODE:
8112: PCI BUS FAULT
ERROR: LSI 1030 COULD NOT SET INITIATOR ID.
CANT OPEN SCSI HOST ADAPTER.
What would cause this? hardware is brand new also.

Hi All,
Thanks for your help.
The problem is now solved when i proceeded as followed:
1. When i executed the command cfgadm -al
the output showed the below information about the tape drive controller:
c3 Connected unconfigured OK
I disconnected the controller and then run the devfsadm -c tapes which took about 1 hour to complete and then, now the system can detect and tape and the first backup run
successfully.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

The update_drv command does not remove the /tmp/AdDrEm.lck lock file immediately,
resulting in subsequent add_drv, update_drv, and rem_drv commands to fail. This issue is
mostly visible when creating a custom install image. This lock file has been bundled in the
miniroot so any attempts to add a package will fail. The following error message is displayed:
add_drv/rem_drv currently busy; try later
Workaround: If the /tmp/AdDrEm.lck file exists, manually remove it before attempting a
pkgadd or _drv commands.

I cheked the network and sharing. I checked the printer works perfectly on Win 7 but not on my hp Win8.

Having trouble getting the nvidia driver installed.

i'm trying to install the nvidia driver for a EVGA 8800 GTS. I ran pacman -S nvidia as the guide said but got this error:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
klibc-kdb: /lib/initcpio/hooks/keymap exists in filesystem
klibc-kdb: /lib/initcpio/install/keymap exists in filesystem
errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
sorry, i'm new to arch, so can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks
xhhux

That is a known error (see this:http://www.archlinux.org/news/391/
The best way to get around it is to explicitly force the install of gpm then carry on with the update, i.e
pacman -Syf gpm
pacman -Syu
EDIT: You will most likely get a kernel upgrade while bringing your system in-sync with the repos, don't forget that you will need to reboot in order to use the new kernel.

Has anyone got the linux driver installed on Fedora Core

Hi I've read a heap on the forum about the linux beta driver and the horror people seem to have to install it. I have no idea what I need to do to recompile a copy of the kernel so I am hoping there's someone with Fedora Core 7 that has got this driver to install that would be willing to help me out with it.
All help would be appreciated
Thanks.

Solved with the kind assistance of paulricardomc on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477507
Short version of the fix:
1. Extract the edid from the Windows partition using softMCCS, saving as edid.bin
2. Save the edid.bin file in /etc/X11 (or wherever you like)
3. Include the following in the device section of your xorg.conf:
"Option" "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
"Option" "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
Fire up X and you're good to go.

G5 dual-core with the hard drive installed crooked?

I bought a G5 2.3 dualcore standard configuration from a authorized Apple dealer. Opened the case to remove the plastic strips and noticed that the supplied hard drive was literally jammed in at a 40 degree angle and riding between below the lower rail on bay B (right side of drive) and the space between A and B (left side of drive). It can not be removed because the "buttons" on the left side of the drive have caught on the bay housing behind where the upper B track curves up into A. I applied a bit of force with no result. This does not seem possible in an Apple product yet here it is. Has this manufacturing mishap happened to others?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Another person on another forum [mac rumors] had this same problem back in late November - look for it as I'm sure the result of their complaint was also posted. It would appear that there's a disgruntled employee somewhere on the line. This of course is completely unacceptable so contact apple and return your machine ... there's absolutely no way this could have happened any other way other than an assembly employee deliberately shoving the HDD into the bays on a 40 deg angle. If that got by QA on your machine, what else did they miss?

HT2486 when i open any contact from my contacts list, the tape edit which should be in the upper right side of the contact is not there, so i can not edit or remove any contact in my list..

any help??

Tape drive and pci-x card with Solaris 10 on VMWare environment

I have a Sun X4170 server (x84_64) running VMWare ESXi 4.0. On it I have two VM guests- my production file server running Solaris 10 U7 and a test file server running Solaris 10 U9.
The X4170 has a PCI-X LSI Logic dual external U320 parallel scsi card. I have a tape drive + auto loader cabled to the X4170. It is a Quantum branded autoloader but I believe the tape drive itself is HP. The autoloader+tape drive share a single SCSI ID (6) but have separate LUNS.
I have two choices for making this system accessible to the OS:
- Virtualize the tape drive and loader individually.
- In VMWare, enable the scsi card as a pass through device. The SCSI card is then added as PCI device to the virtual machine (actually two devices since it is a dual scsi card.)
I had virtualized a single-drive tape drives with Vmware in the past.
However, when I tried I virtualize tape drive and loader, Solaris complained about the scsi id’s being invalid. I don’t think it likes two devices with a single scsi ID. Also, I think I need the backup software to see the REAL tape drive and autoloader (for inventory, changing tapes etc)
On the Solaris 10 U9 “Test” machine:

Any ideas? Maybe a need to update the MPT driver or is that dangerous?
Thanks

Actually, updating the kernel patches (and enabling hot plug service) did solve the problem. At some point during between testing the system before and after patching, the tape drive got turned off. Since the system patching was being done remotely it was not immediately obvious that the tape drive was off.

Solaris FC Tape Drive

Hi Folks,
We have the following scenario:
- SunFire v490 server
- DAT 72 tape, SCSI
- LTO4 tape, FC (via qlogic HBA)
- Solaris 9 + updated patches
We need some help regarding the FC tape configuration. *"cfgadm -al"* shows the FC tape as:
c4::500110a0008a18eb tape connected configured unknownand *"ls -l shows"* :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 68 Jan 31 14:16 /dev/rmt/1 -> ../../devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1/fp@0,0/st@w500110a0008a18eb,0:Wich is the tape's WWN. But when the tape drive status is invoked via "*mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status"* , it shows
/dev/rmt/1: No such device or addressWhat are we missing here?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,
SEC

Hi,
Thanks for your responses, after installing the suggested patch in single user mode, performing reconfiguration reboot did not help.
The FC HBA is already configured and working, but qhe we try to reconfigure the drive it shows:

cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node: 500110a0008a18eb: Invalid argumentAny help will be very appreciated,
