LSImegaraid, storedge C2, no tape device created

Hi,
we have an Ultra20 sol10 01/06 with a storedge C2 tape library connected to a LSI Megaraid SCSI 320-2E.
The card itself is seeing the tape device(scsi id 5)
and Solaris has loaded the driver for the card.
bash-3.00# prtconf -D | grep lsi
pci1000,2, instance #0 (driver name: lsimega)
But solaris isn't seeing the tape device.
cfgadm is seeing the controller:
bash-3.00# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
usb0/1 usb-kbd connected configured ok
c2 is pointing to my LSI controller but unconfigured.
When I trie to do a cfgadm -c configure c2 the system will kernel panic and reboot.
Do we have to get this c2 in a configured state before getting the tape device to work.

Tried an Adaptec card (29160) and that's working fine.
bash-3.00# modinfo | grep -i adap
140 fffffffff3e6d000 27508 58 1 cadp160 (Adaptec Ultra160 HBA 1.21)
bash-3.00# cfgadm -al | grep c3
c3 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c3::rmt/0 tape connected configured unknown
c3::scsi/changer/c3t5d1 med-changer connected configured
Looks like this LSImegaraid 320-2E is bit to hot to handle.

Cannot create tape device

Hi, maybe someone can help me?
My tape device /dev/rmt/0n was 20Gb in size even though it had no tape in it, after a failed backup.
This was after filling up my hard-drive to 100% capacity, so I decided to delete /dev/rmt/0n and recreate using "devfsadm" or "boot -r" but neither of these commands worked!
Now I cannot connect the tape drive at all as I cannot create /dev/rmt/0n.
Does anybody know how this can be fixed?
Thanks

My tape device /dev/rmt/0n was 20Gb in size even
though it had no tape in it, after a failed backup.Sound like you mis-specified the destination of your backup and it literally went to a file "/dev/rmt/0n" (overwriting your device file) instead of to tape.
Please run 'drvconfig' then 'tapes'. (Or do a reconfiguration reboot.) This should recreate your device name.

Add tape device to non-global zone

Hi,
I have a SCSI attached Ultrium tape device attached and configured against the global zone.
The /dev/rmt/0* definitions in the global zone are links to ../../devices/pci@2*
I need to be able to use this tape device from the non-global zones.
To enable this, I have done the following:
zonecfg -z <zone name>
add device
set match=/dev/rmt/0
end
verify
commit
exit
I repeated the above for /dev/rmt/0m and /dev/rmt/0mn
Then I restarted the zone with the command:
zoneadm -z <zone name> reboot
After the reboot, I can see the device when using "mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status", but whenever I try to write a SAP brbackup to the new (initialised and not write protected) tape within the drive I get the following error:
BR0278E Command output of 'LANG=C cd /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup && /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape
sh: /dev/rmt/0mn: cannot open
BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2012-04-04 08.21.41
BR0279E Return code from 'LANG=C cd /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup && /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.
BR0359E Restore of /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0 from /dev/rmt/0mn failed due to previous errors
Have I created the device incorrectly, or does anyone have any ideas what could be the reason the write fails?
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
Just to bring you up to speed, I have now fixed the issue.
The resolution was all within the iniSID.sap file that the backup is using. I have changed a number of parameters within this file:
1.     tape_copy_cmd = dd (was cpio)
2.     rewind = "mt     -f $ rew; sleep 30" (was " mt -f $ rew")
3.     rewind_offline = "mt -f $ offline; sleep 30" (was "mt -f $ offline")
4.     tape_pos_cmd = "mt -f $ fsf $: sleep 30" (was "mt -f $ fsf $")
5.     tape_size = 500G (was 18000M)
After making those changes, the backup started from within DB13. I believe that the main culprit was the tape_copy_cmd, but the others were changed to allow the tape drive time to become online again after any query.

QEMU host-only networking using tap devices

I'm trying to setup host-only networking on my QEMU VM running Arch (actually, the Archiso; there is no Arch installation present yet). A short summary:
What I want
connect to the host from the guest system
connect to the guest from the host system
using a tap device (to avoid user-mode networking) on a network bridge (to connect guest and host)
Eventually, I want to run an AMP stack on the VM for web development. (Let's, for now, ignore the fact that I might need an internet connection later on to install packages)
What I tried
I first set up a tap device:
ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap
and then a network bridge:
BRIDGE='qemubr0'
brctl addbr ${BRIDGE}
brctl addif ${BRIDGE} tap0
ip link set up dev ${BRIDGE}
The relevant parameters I run QEMU with are:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-net nic \
-net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no
QEMU starts without any errors, but trying to ping the host from within the VM results in:
-- VM:
# ping 10.0.2.2
connect: Network is unreachable
(FYI: 10.0.2.2 is supposed to be the default IP address of the host system (?) according to http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking )

You are scratching your right ear with the left hand, so to speak.
Let's say on the host, you have a bridge, br0, with an appropriate IP, serving as a gateway (created with your favorite network manager), and you'd like to start a VM whose virtual drive is arch-x86_64, then this is all you need to do:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -drive file=arch-x86_64,if=virtio -net nic,model=virtio -net bridge,br=br0
inside the VM you'll have eth0 (or whatever), and on the host -- tap0 plugged into the bridge. This is all courtesy of /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper which is a suid binary.

LSM TEST WITHOUT TAPE DEVICE

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 1999-12-09
*** LSM TEST without tape device ***
이 문서는 실제로 tape device를 장치하지 않고 Legato Storage Manager(LSM)을
이용하여 백업을 받는 방법을 설명한다.
Introduction
LSM이 처음 install되면 tape device가 장치되지 않았더라도 RMAN과 연계하여 잘
구성되었는지 확인할 필요가 있다. 이것은 특별한 device type('file' on Unix,
'optical' on Windows NT)을 설정하므로서 가능하다.
- How to configure a LSM disk device on UNIX
1. unix server에 다음과 같은 디렉토리를 만든다.
/usr/lsm/testdevice
LSM administrator는 이 디렉토리에 read/write permission이 있었야 한다.
2. nwadmin GUI에서 'file' type device를 만든다.
- nwadmin -> Media -> Devices
- Click on 'Create'
- enter the full path of the newly created directory in the 'Name' field
- Specify 'file' in the 'Media type' pull down menu
- Specify 1 'Target sessions'
- Click on 'Apply'
3. device에서 마치 tape device인 것처럼 label을 주고 mount할 수 있다.
- How to configure a LSM disk device on Windows NT
1. windows nt server에 비어있는 화일을 하나 생성한다.
예를들면
d:\test\lsm\bkfile
LSM administrator는 이 화일에 대해 read/write permission이 있어야 한다.
2. 'optical' type device를 만든다.
- nwadmin
- click on 'Media Management->Devices'
- right click on 'Devices' and choose 'create'
- Fill in 'Name' (full path and filename of the empty file
- Choose 'Media type' to be optical
3. 이제는 마치 tape device인 것처럼 label을 주고 mount를 할수 있다.
주의 : windows NT에서는 이것을 실행시키기 위해서는 oracle 8.0.4.1.2 이상
이어야 한다.

Hi,
Please note: /dev/st0 causes automatic tape rewind after any operation, /dev/nst0 has no automatic rewind, but most backup software knows to rewind before finishing. If you plan to put multiple backup files on one tape you must use /dev/nst0.
see http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/Backups.htm for details.

Tape device doesn't seem to be recognized by the kernel

hi guys and girls,
i have added a new HP tape device into my linux box, the problem is that i wasn't able to detect the device and its library, the only devices available in /dev are st0 and nst0.
i have been trying to make the generic scsi devices, but i couldn't.though the module is already loaded into the kernel. but couldn't do nothing.
the output of my /proc/scsi/scsi
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: C7438A Rev: ZP76
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
so i had to explicitly force the loading of a module at boot time by doing the following.
# echo modprobe sg > /etc/rc.modules
# chmod +x /etc/rc.modules
after i reboot my server, the device sg0 was created in /dev directory, i belive that this is the device but there was no library.
so i thought i should try to test it and the following appears
[root@MOT_SERVER bin]# tar -cvf /dev/sg0 startup.sh
startup.sh
tar: /dev/sg0: Cannot write: Cannot allocate memory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
can someone please guide me through what i am suppose to do on a step by step bases. because i am kinda new to linux,
i want to create a scsi generic devices because i am using a product called oracle secure backup and it requiores a generic scsi to be installed on the server to function

Openvpn and vmware fusion - can os x and VM share a tun/tap device?

tunnelblick 3.0b6
virtual machine is xp pro sp2
in mac os x tunnelblick is able to successfully create the vpn tunnel across the tun/tap device. when i execute ifconfig in terminal i see the tap device listed. when i look at system preferences -> network i don't see the virtual device listed. this is my first mac so i am not sure if that is expected behavior. just for the sake of comparison, the virtual device was listed in my "network connections" on my previous xp pro machine.
the vmware fusion windows xp VM however, only has access to the airport network connection. it would be nice if the xp vm could piggyback off of the os x tun/tap device. is this possible? at this point i am just going to install openvpn in the vm as well - nothing like having multiple vpn connections from the same hardware
i have read that tunnelblick has some issues on 10.5, but i have only noticed odd behavior when my laptop goes to sleep.
thanks for any help!

So I'm a recent convert to Mac from Vista, and have the same config you do...
Use tunnelblick to establish the VPN, and configure your VM to Share the network connection (NAT). This will then allow your XP client to route traffic through the VPN tunnel.
I've also noticed issues w/ Tunnelblick VPN's when my MacBook goes to sleep (usually when I close the lid to go to a meeting). I'm sure there is some Mac Expert that has a "preferred" method to resolving this, but I found that going into Activity Monitor and forcing a quit on the "openvpn" process fixes the issue. This is basically resetting the tap0 adapater.
Hope this helps.

Mac OS 10.4.10 and Tape Devices issues

Subject: [BRUServer-Announce] Mac OS X 10.4.10 Announcement...
I am posting this message out to the group for additional knowledge on
this issue..
We have a older G5 XServe with XRaid connected via Fibre Channel and an Adic
Scalar 100 LTO-2 tape unit connected via SCSI.
We have been seeing some issue with our tape unit lately and looking for
suggestions on a fix or work-a-round.
BRU suggest this:
<snip>
To resolve this issue, we strongly suggest that you downgrade to
10.4.8, as 10.4.9 has been known to exhibit the same type of symptoms.
<snip>
My question would be if we select to downgrade to Mac OS 10.4.8,
What would be the Best method to do downgrade to Mac OS 10.4.8 ?

Please do not reply to this message.
This list is for announcements only.
An Important Note for Mac Users of BRU Technology Under Mac OS X
Since the release of 10.4.10, there are a number of issues that have
surfaced with writing to tape and disk devices. For this reason,
10.4.10 is not compatible with tape devices connected to Mac OS X
10.4.10 via SCSI, FireWire, USB, SAS, or Fibre-Channel.
This is not a BRU Server software problem, but rather an Apple Mac OS
X problem when using any type of software that communicates with tape
devices.
Other problems with XRAID, Xsan, and other disk devices communicating
over these channels may also be realized.

To resolve this issue, we strongly suggest that you downgrade to
10.4.8, as 10.4.9 has been known to exhibit the same type of symptoms.
We apologize that we did not make the announcement sooner, however, we
believed that 10.4.11, which fixes this problem, would be released
much sooner than now. As of this announcement, 10.4.11 has yet to be
released, nor has there been an announcement for its expected release
date.

an update on my client's situation:
os: server 10.4.11
scsi card: LSILogic Ultra320, 1.3.39.0 firmware
tape: exabyte 1x10 library, vxa172 tape drive
after a reboot, but still running 10.4.10, the tape drive appeared on the SCSI bus.
after installing the 10.4.11 update, the OS can't see the tape drive, but the library is. basically, that's no different than before the update.
does anyone have any ideas on how to scare the drive into reappearing? would unloading/reloading kexts help? the library is basically useless without the tape drive reliably recognized by the SCSI card.

In search of Oracle 10g / Sun 86*64 Tape device 3rd party software:

What secure tape backup software (i.e. OSB not supported by Sun 86*64) do you recommend for this configuration:
Clustered Database, ASM
Database:
Oracle 10.2.0.1 (going to 10.2.0.2) clustered database.
Operating System:
SUN Version and Release

Hi James,
I installed 10g on XP (amateur) with SP2 last night and it is essentially working it seems.
I did experience the security popups that you mentioned and I selected the "check later" button or something like that (my system is japanese and I think that's what the button said ;) ) I actually missed the first popup as I wasn't at the computer and didn't notice it until some time later, so the timing doesn't seem to make any difference.
I had problems with EM, I always got page not found when I triued to logon, but it was fine after rebooting.
My PC's spec (an athlon 2500+ and 512MB) is way below yours so I don't think that is entirely relevant. Sorry I can't offer any positive suggestions.
Regards
Iain

RMAN backup in HP Ultrium 3-SCSI(3mn) tape device

Dear All
IS it possible to take online RMAN backup in HP Ultrium 3-SCSI(3mn) tape device?
Note: this is not a tape library, a stand alone tape device.
Thanks & Regards
Quazi Abdur Rab

In RAC, Please note that you can take backup from any node and you can able to restore from any node.
If you taking backup to disk then you must mount the same backup mount on both servers in order to able to backup and restore.
In your case you are taking backup to FRA and from there taking to tape.
The TSM wtih tdop agent is congiured on Node1 and not on Node 2 thats why you are not able to restore from node2.
27029, 00000, "skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error"
// *Cause: sbtrestore returned an error. This happens when retrieving a
// backup file during a restore operation.
// *Action: This error is returned from the media management software which is
// linked with Oracle. There should be additional messages which
// explain the cause of the error. This error usually requires
// contacting the media management vendor.
/u01/home/oracle:DBA>
If you restore from FRA or using RMAN both nodes know the backup location and able to restore.
Hope this helps,

Hi.
Tried but kenot...
This command will not work if if I execute in duplicate database?
I am now trying duplicate the database from a server to remote server.
using command below
DUPLICATE DATABASE TO NEW_DB_NAME
PFILE = PFILE_LOCATION
BACKUP LOCATION '/DUMP';
NOFILENAMECHECK;

Solaris 10 cannot recognize tape device in library.

We have a DLT7000 tape device in a Quantum PX100 library connected to a Solaris 10 server via SCSI Adapter: X6541A. We can see the tape drive via OBP:
/pci@1e,600000/scsi@2
Target b
Unit 0 Removable Tape QUANTUM DLT7000 2565
But when Solaris 10 is loaded, there are no rmt links in the device tree. I've looked at devlinks and st.conf and made the changes I've read about online, but nothing seems to work. I've installed the following QLOGIC drivers, but they do not help. The only thing left is verifying jumpers? Terminators? But the question remains, if the system sees the tape drive at the OBP, then what's going on with the software? There's an sgen.conf file in /kernel/drv, but no sgscan type commands are available to use. I'm at a loss.

Hello,
... connected to a Solaris 10 server via SCSI Adapter: X6541A. We can see the tape drive via OBP ...
... I've installed the following QLOGIC drivers, but they do not help.
Option X6541A is the Dual Differential Ultra/Wide SCSI (PCI) hba. The driver for this hba (based on SYM 53C876 chip) is already included with Solaris to support the integrated SCSI controller of most SPARC systems.
The QLogic drivers support Option X6758A PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter (LVD).
But when Solaris 10 is loaded, there are no rmt links in the device tree
Rebuild the device tree either with boot -rv from the ok-prompt or devfsadm -c tape.
If you can afford the downtime, I would recommend the first choice.

[SOLVED] OpenVPN - tap device does not come up

I am trying to connect to an OpenVPN server. The server configuration is good; it works for Windows clients.
When I try to connect my Arch box, it says everything is good:

The route errors are because the tap0 device doesn't actually come up; the "link" remains down, and no address is assigned:
# ip a s
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN

Forcing the link up makes the device appear in the ip output, but still no address:
morpheus /etc/openvpn # ip link set tap0 up
morpheus /etc/openvpn # ip a s
11: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 100

inet6 fe80::84b9:40ff:fedc:b6da/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
I've also tried a netcfg profile for the same config; same result.
Any ideas why tap0 doesn't want to come up?

FYI, I had to change my Windows config to up an --up script to explicitly request the DHCP address:
# this script brings the tap device up and starts a dhcpcd client on it
script-security 2
up /etc/openvpn/postup.sh
# we we wait until that's finished before adding routes...
route-delay 10
#!/bin/bash
tap_dev=$1
tap_mtu=$2
link_mtu=$3
ifconfig_local_ip=$4
ifconfig_netmask=$5
/usr/sbin/ip link set $tap_dev up
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd --background -L -t 10 --nogateway $tap_dev
exit 0
It's a bit (lot) of a hack, but it works. I have to start dhcpcd in the background otherwise OpenVPN seems to timeout the --up script and abort everything. I couldn't find how to extend the time limit that --up is allowed to run for.

Tape Devices

Any way to identify a tape device via mt or prtconf...
specifically looking for...
DLT - 4000, 7000, 8000
DDS 2/3/4
device type
capacity
block sizes
compression
only thing I can find is:
mt -f /dev/rmt/<device> status .. not very helpful if tape is currently not in device.

Did you try "cfgadm -c configure c#"? Substitute the actual controller for the #.

SunMC Tape devices

Best way to capture performance stats from tape devices in SunMC?

Native Drives, or from something like Veritas NetBackup?
In either case, for any specific variable within SunMC, there are two reporting packages I know of.
1) Sun's Performance Reporting Manager (PRM) installable during the SunMC setup
2) Halcyon's Reporter Product
http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/Reporter/index.php
Both these can be applied to the tape info in the Kernel Reader module, or to data supplied by something like Halcyon's NetBackup module:

LSImegaraid, storedge C2, no tape device created
