Hi Surajsid
Do you still have a support contract for this Library ? If it's still showing the same issues after power cycling the drive I would log a call with Orcale/Sun.
Have you changed anything in your backup environment lately ?

Installing Sun Storage C4 - Tape Library on IBM p550Q

All,
Need your advise, what should we prepare to install Sun Storage C4 Tape Library attached to IBM P550Q?
I read the information about supported OS on C4 Tape Library are only Windows, Linux and Solaris. So, how do we reveal with this situation?
regards,
/hendra

I'm looking for the same thing -
Were you able to location any documentation?
I've been trying to get my hands on the documentation
for the C4. Sun's doc site does not have this product
listed at all. The product documentation link
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/1878#hic) just
returns " The requested item could not be found."
I've even tried opening up a case with Sun. First,
the support people had no idea what the C4 was. After
3 days and 3 support engineers, I finally found one
who understood what this product was, but I was then
told that getting the documentation would be on a
time and materials basis. I'd rather not have to pay
$400+ for documentation that should be on their
website, just like all their other equipment. I'm
currently using the Quantum PX502 documentation as a
reference, but I'd really like to see Sun specific
documentation.
Any ideas?

Sun Storedge L9 command utility, need to load and unload tapes.

I am looking for a utility that will unload, and reload an L9 Sun storedge.
I found:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/jsp/descFile.jsp?url=descAll/l9ctl
This utility has some calls that either we don't have, or I can't find:
loadmedia.cgi
inloadmedia.cgi
Am I setting this up incorrectly?
Where is this stuff supposed to be?
I am running on a sun ulta-5, Solaris 8.

Hello!
Before use, You should small customize script:
1) Change
$LibraryHostName="http://l9"; - It's library hostname.
Or set this name in /etc/hosts
$AdminPwd="12341234"; - password to Library
And, of course, before use this script - you should setup netwotk connection of L9.
Another way - use project MTX.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mtx/releases
This program use SCSI commands for control library.
Regards.

My company have a SUN Storedge L8 attached to a SUN Solaris 9 (SPARC) while I can only do a tar to the /dev/rmt/0, whenever I tried to interact with the jukebox with the solstice backup, the program hang definitely.

Is that represent a hardware failure either on the jukebox or the SCSI controller? Or it is indeed a software corruption that can only be solved by reinstallation? But unfortunately I don't have the media on hand.

Is that represent a hardware failure either on the jukebox or the SCSI controller? Or it is indeed a software corruption that can only be solved by reinstallation? But unfortunately I don't have the media on hand.

Install SUN StorEdge L280 to Solaris 10 x86

Hi, i need help with install & configure SUN StorEdge L280. I have SOLARIS 10 x86 platform on HP DL 380 g3. I need help with this. I dont understend what with this, what drivers is need... On sparc is all ok with veritas netbackup, but on x86...any help?thanks

The L280 (or HP SureStore Autoloader 718) contains a DLT7000 drive. There is no reason why the generic SCSI tape driver doesn't support these drives.
If you're asking for software to control the autoloader, a similar software like Veritas NetBackup is required. Veritas supplies a replacement driver.
Now I see why your L280 doesn't work with your HP server. The L280 requires a HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI controller. The standard SCSI interface is SE (Single Ended) or LVD (Low Voltage Differential). Neither SE nor LVD are compatible with HVD. You won't see the device and can even damage the device and/or the controller.
Get a HVD SCSI controller (Symbios SYM22802, Part-No 375-0006) or Adaptec AHA-2944UW (not AHA-2940UW which is SE!!).
The Sun labeled HP Autoloaders (StorEdge L9, L280) use HVD SCSI while the original ones (SureStore 1/9, 718) use LVD or SE SCSI.

Veritas Volume manager 4.0 with Sun StorEdge 3310 D

I am running into a problem. The vxconfigd deamon always dump core when rebooting.
Our environment is listed below.
OS environemt.
     SunOS server1 5.8 Generic_117350-43 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
Software installed.
     Sun Cluster 3.0
     Veritas Volume Manager 4.0 MP2.
Disk Array associated.
     Sun StorEdge 3310 D.
I looked up veritas.com and find Array Support Library (ASL) for Sun StorEdge 3xxx Series is recommended. But I didn't find this library is running on this server.
Please refer to this following link
http://support.veritas.com/docs/277923
As our system is one of critical systems and I'd like to confirm that I can follow up this procedure without doing harm things to our system.
Jeff

No problem Jeff :)
I took a look at the Veritas doc and you're right it does seem to cover everthing.
Has the vxconfigd core dumped since the start? ie from the moment it was installed?
I have installed VXVM 4.0 with Solaris 8 but without the ASL and this worked ok, I know that's not much help to you but I am not sure the ASL will help. Mind you I have not installed it with Sun Cluster 3.0.

Cluster and L1000 Tape Library

We are planning to purchase a tape library system for backing up the data on our cluster. I was wondering if any one ever used the Sun L1000 Tape library system with NetBackup. How do you like the L1000 and NetBackup? Is the L1000 tape library reliable? What kind of throughput do you get? We have a 2-node cluster E5500/E4500. I am planning to connect the tape library to an E250 and use it as the backup server.
Thank you in advance.

hi sjen,
it depends on the size of you databases and filesystems. the sun 250 should be ok, if you have enough memory. sometimes the network-interface (dfx) is a bottleneck.

Tape library compatibility.

Hi I have no Solaris expertise. I work at Dell in support, and I have a customer that is trying to use a Power Vault 124T (Tape Library). I know that Dell has not verified the system with Solaris 10. I am trying to find a compatibility list from Sun, or proof that it is/is not supported. Could anyone help me out there? :)

Thanks very much. That was all I needed. I was able to find the driver I needed throgh that page as well.

Tape library

we want to buy tape library, our box is
sun.
after a little bit research,
i decide to buy something from quantum.
i read some doc from quantum, regarding
DLT8000 it says that its native capacity is
40G, what does that mean? i can always
it should have a lot of tape inside,
and i can always replace it,right?
does that mean it at most can occupy
tape upto 40G?
null

Quantum won't sell you the DLT 8000 drives unless you really push them. They had alot of problems with them and will steer you to the 7000. Look at the libs from Quantum/ATL, I have great luck with them. R

Sun StorEdge L25

Our company have a SunToreEdge L25 tape library, it works normal for 4 years. It contains two HP Ultrium1 SCSI tape drives.
I found some problem recently.
1. The robot can not hold the tape when tape eject the tape. I can see the robot try to hold the tape from tape drive though the window of L25, after fail to hold tape several times, the L25 report a error message, the error code is 26C0, I check the guide, it said: Drive 1 has not responded to multiple requests to unload.
But it does not occur every time. Sometimes, it is no problem. If I disable this tape drive, another drive does not have this kind of problems.
I think I do not need to buy new tape drive, because the problem does not occur always.
2. The power supply unit have three lights, both smaller lights is green, but the bigger one is in red, a warning message on screen, "PSU fail". Whether I need to change a new power supply unit?
Thanks.

Hello Prashant,
It returned only the four internal SCSI drives and couldn't seem to find the tape library.
maybe I have mis-read your post. Are the four internal drives the disk drives inside the V240 and the L25 isn't detected ? This misunderstanding might be caused by the fact that the L25 supports only upto 2 tape drives (the L100 upto 5 tape drives).
Quote from the manual (L25-L100_install_guide, page 34ff):
"The library robotics and tape drives are independent SCSI devices with
independent SCSI connections. The L25 and L100 provide two 68-pin
high density connectors for each device. You can connect these devices
to a single SCSI bus or divide them between two or more SCSI buses."
You have to review the cabling on the back of the L25 and the GUI configuration menu.
Unfortunately you didn't tell what type of drives (DLT8000, LTO, SDLT) are installed and how the L25 is attached.
Some drives require a HVD SCSI hba while other require a LVD SCSI hba. The installation guide mentions only HVD SCSI, but the Full Components List lists LVD SCSI adapters as valid choices (depending on the drive types installed!) too.
HVD SCSI and LVD/SE aren't compatible.
The LVD SCSI hba requires installation of some Solaris packages (the drivers aren't included with Solaris, but are on a CD that is supplied with the hba).
Maybe someone else is able to assist you after you provided the missing information. I have no hands-on experience with the L25/L100, it's just from reviewing the manuals and the Sun System Handbook.

SL500 Tape library Issue

Hi Every one here
I need some help with the SL500 Tape library
I need to connect to the Library through the CLI port so I need to know the connection pin configuration
I'll tell u what I do & any one who knows the connection tells me if it's wrong or what ?
1)I'm using RJ-45 straight cable to connect to the CLI port
2)from my lap top side I use usb-to-serial converter
3)between both of them there is a converter which have DB-9 female from a side & RJ-45 interface from the other side which is the one that comes along with most of the sparc servers
is this right ? or there is some special converters that comes along with the Tape library which may be had been lost in the customer site ? & if so can any one tell me the pin configuration of this converter & I will made up one ? if not may be the problem in the Straight RJ-45 cable which I use may be it's the wrong one knowing that I tried also cross-over & roll-over cables ?
I tried to login using the admin username from the cross-over connection between me labtop & the library
I use the Putty tool to ssh the IP address of the library when I type thw admin it prompts me the password & as sson as I type the password & press enter it logs me off
why Can't I login to the CLI using ssh throught the ethernet cable or must I login to the library from the CLI port ???
Regards

Hi,
There is a special DB9-RJ45 connector that comes with each STK/Sun libraries. You'll need it to establish a CLI connection. Server adapters does not function in libraries.
Regards

Unable to restore from Overland Tape library to STK 5320

Hi,
The Details are...
STK 5320 (1.0.215.199)
WindowXP System where the volume of the STK 5320 is maped (1.0.0.185)
When restoreing a tape from Overland tape library using baracuda to STK 5320 maped volume we are getting the following log on the STK 5320.
We have checked the permission and access status for the spdtest the are in full permission and read/write resp.
Volume Name spdtest.
{color:#ff0000}*03/01/10 17:07:54 W smbd[1.0.0.185]: refimg_unres access denied*
*03/01/10 17:02:13 N smbd[1.0.0.185]: spdtest rw access granted*
*03/01/10 17:02:12 I reauth: granted 1.0.0.185 to /SPDTest ro=0 uid0=0*
{color}

I opened the package and see lots of projects == are the projects in the Vault sufficient so that if I want to get the images and things out of those projects that would work?? In other words, skip the restoration totally and just open package contents and click and drag out of there?

Is possible control tape library slot 1 - 10 for file system backup

hi ..
i am new to osb , i just install and setup osb , i have a question as below , hope expert can help me
env: testing
rhel 5.5
tape library with 20 slot
file system backup
1. is possible osb only use slot 1 - 10 for file system backup ? amanda can control slot x - slot y for the configuration .
2. how do i label the tape for slot 1 - slot 10 by obtool ? how to control osb auto load the tape for next backup ? where to check the log say that next tape is tape-02 ?
thanks ..

hi dcooksey
how do i use list for a tape drive...for example, if you want tape drive A to only use slots 1-10 from obtool or webtool ?
becoz i new to backup solution & osb ( i always use ghost or acronis to clone the image ) , my thinking as below , pls correct me if i am wrong
slot 1 - 10 for daily backup
slot 11-16 for full system backup
slot 17 - 20 reserve ( this tape only use for full system backup before perform any application upgrade patches , )
daily backup mon - fri ( 2 week ) ( no backup on saturday and sunday ) , server application offline
full system backup friday ( 1 , 14 on calendar ) every 2 week perform full system backup after daily backup completed
for upgrade application ,
perform full system backup after daily backup , then release the server to application team to perform upgrading .
so how to set my media family for the above setting ? the slot configuration is control by media family ?
hope you can help ...

How to set the IP address in L25 Tape library

I try to set the ip address in L25 tape library. But it is not stored in the NVRAM. For that purpose I restart the device. Then all the values are reset. please tell how to set the ip address.

Lylee,
Please take a look at the following links. The first describes how to distribute your application to multiple targets when using shared variables. The others are explaining alternate ways to change the IP address of a controller.

Sun StorEdge 3510

Dears,
Good day,
I need your support to guide me to configure Sun StorEdge 3510. I have 24 Disks and single controller. I is connected to one host. I want to configure it with the most biggest storage. I want to implement RAID 5 on 11 disks on the first enclosure and the same to the second enclosure with two disks spare each one in the same enclosure.
Can you guide me throw this?
Thanks a lot.

Wow, it took me about 5 hours to set mine up from scratch and I'm a pretty strong storage guy. Here's an overview of what I did. Most of the info is in the 3510 documentation.
Step 1 is connectivity. Get your host to see the 3510 (FC).
Step 2 - use the cli utilities to setup the IP address on the controller (in-band).
Step 3 - ssh in, setup the RAID and presentation of the luns
Step 4 - rescan on the hosts to see the new luns
