Tape drive connect

Hi Gurus,
Pls help me to connect DAT72 tape drive to Sun fire v240 server and to make available to my solaris 9 OS .
How do I can test the drive?

Internal or external drive?
Basically, plug it in (if it's internal turn the server off first!) and run a devsfadm -C tape command and see if that picks it up. You may need a reconfig reboot. I don't like how Sun and hardware interact!

  • Sys-suspend fails on Solaris 9 with tape drive present

    I ran across a post by T. Kloeber (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5109999&messageID=9374786) on the Sun developer forum on this.
    I replaced my Solaris 7 SS5 with an Ultra 2 and installed Solaris 9 fresh. The external disks and tape drive are unchanged. The SS5 used to suspend properly about 95% of the time, but now the machine refuses to suspend with the tape drive connected. Log messages are:
    Mar 21 16:20:13 madera cpr: [ID 535284 kern.notice] System is being suspended

    Mar 21 16:20:30 madera cpr: [ID 583038 kern.notice] System has been resumed.
    and the system is not suspended. Is there anything i am missing on Solaris 9?
    I am able to modunload the st driver, then when I attempt to suspend, the driver gets reloaded, and I get the failure above.
    I ran across an E10000 service manual from 2.6 days that said that tape devices were not suspendable. They must have rethought that by Solaris 7. No idea why 9 should refuse this. I have the latest recommended patches.
    TIA for any information!

  • ESXi 4.1 and HP P212 - tape drive goes off-line

    Hi everyone,
    Im having a problem with a tape drive going offline and I hope you guys can help me out.
    I’m running ESXi 4.1.0 (348481) on a brand new HP DL380 G7 server, the server has a HP Smart Array P212 controller with a HP Ultrium 4 tape drive connected to it.
    I installed 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 VM and assigned the tape drive to the server.
    CA ArcServe r16 is installed for making back-ups and all latest patches and updates are installed.
    It seems the drive gets set off-line during the day. Scheduled back-up at night won’t run because the drive is off-line but if I manually set the drive online I'm running a test back-up straight after it runs successful.
    I have checked the CA ArcServe tape log and noticed the following errors:
    [Unexpected SCSI Sense Code [ABSL:2020 CMD<TEST UNIT READY> SC:22h 34]
    DRV:1 Hit HARDWARE_ERROR[61700] from TUR
    JobID[0] SCSIPort Error DevType[5] LDN[1] SN[HU1113FRDN] CMD[TEST UNIT READY] Sent[13:57:01] MS Error[61700]
    SetDeviceOnline::The device [1] has been set as off-line
    Google shows some post about other people having some problems with the P212 controller, even though the compatibility list says its supported.
    Im just wondering if anyone has seen this problem before and if the P212 controller indeed is causing problems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    Hey I'm having the same issue on ESXi 5.5 with arcserve 16.5 sp1. Did you ever find a solution?

  • How can I connect a DLT-IV Tape drive with SCSI interface to Quad G5?

    I have had no problems with my "Quantum equivalent La Cie DLT-IV Tape drive" on OSX connected to the G4 Quicksilver using an Adaptec 2930CU PCI card - but I can't move that to the G5 as it has to be PCI-Express cards as far as I can tell.
    Adaptec pre-sales support inform me that Adaptec have no Mac support in their current product range.
    Has anyone found a solution to this connection requirement that will work with Retrospect and DVD StudioPro?
    If there is a workable solution which is no longer available to buy - I would still be interested in knowing so I could scour ebay for it.
    TIA,
    Richard

    Hi Richard;
    If you go to ATTO, they are offering a ExpressPCI PSC which include a SCSI bus on sale for $24.11.

  • Recommendation for Tape drives/library connected to DPM on virtual machine

    Hi,
    we are running DPM as a virtual machine in an hyper-v environment. Now we want to add long term storage -> tape. I looked at virtual tape libraries (firestreamer) but as I want to store the "tapes" externally for DR scenario I thought that this might
    not be the best way to go.
    We would prefere to use a "traditional" tape library. The best option I found would be iSCSI tape libraries but the only ones I found started at around 6000 US$. As I will be backing up only up to 1.5 TB/night I don't want to spend that much money. In addition
    I don't know if they are really going to work.
    The other option I saw was to use a SCSI to iSCSI Bridge and connect a SCSI tape library that way. I found solutations for around 3000 US$. Which is still a lot but better then the iSCSI Tape drives.
    Does someone else have recommendations or some other ideas what works best? The only entries I found so far were from 2008 and I am quite sure that things have changed since then.

     I looked at virtual tape libraries (firestreamer) but as I want to store the "tapes" externally for DR scenario I thought that this might not be the best way to go.
    Actually, it might, you can use removable media to host the virtual tape files created by firestreamer and take the removable media offsite.  So instead of rotating physical tapes, you rotate physical removable media.
    Closing for housekeeping.

  • Anyone aware of a tape drive solution for the iMac?

    I have transitioned to an all digital video workflow and use an Intel based iMac as my editing system.  Since I no longer use the mini-dv tapes, I need to find a reliable storage solution to archive my original footage.  I believe LTO tapes to be my best bet.  I'm having trouble finding an external tape drive to work with my iMac because I don't have a SCSI interface on my iMac or can't locate a tape drive with a Firewire or Thunderbolt interface.  Any suggestions?

    In the past I used Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac - VHS to DVD Conversion Mac Software, but that was back in Leopard/Snow Leopard and I don't see support for Lion.
    Another thing that also worked well for getting those old mini vhs tapes into the iMac. Was to connect either the tape camcorder or the video tape in a mini tape adapter up to a standard DVD recorder and burn a DVD that could be imported into iMovie or your video software.

  • 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)

    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.

    You need something like StarWind Tape Redirector that "iSCSI-izes" hardware attached to host. So you'll be able to connect with iSCSI initiator from inside a VM running on this host, some other host or even other physical machine (as long as it
    has iSCSI connectivity), see:
    StarWind Tape Redirector
    http://www.starwindsoftware.com/download-starwind-tape-redirector
    So at the end of the day you'll have something like on the picture below:
    Good news: this software offering is 100% free so you don't need to pay anything to anybody :)
    Hope this helped!
    StarWind Virtual SAN clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

  • How to create VTL and tape drives

    hi!
    i want to create one library like"vlib" containing two tape drives vt1 and vt2 having equal space of 512 MB.
    Can u plz check that i am on right track
    ob>mkdev -t library -o -S 2 -a test:/d01/secure/vlib -v vlib
    ob>mkdev -t library -o -a test:/d01/secure/vt1 -v -l vlib -d 1 vt1
    ob>mkdev -t library -o -S 2 -a test:/d01/secure/vt2 -v -l vlib -d 2 vt2
    Insert Volume
    now here is where i am confuse .....
    ob>insertvol -L vlib -c 512 unlabeled 1-2
    now how to insertvol in tapes .....by above command is this volume available to all tapes in that library.
    actually i want that i have two tapes vt1 and vt2 ,both should have space 512 mb now when i take full database backup through rman ....after when vt1 becomes full it start utilizing other tape vt2 automatically.
    plz helppppppppp

    thank you ....but please can u check that what i have done...i am giving detail......plzzz
    STEP 1)
    ob> mkdev -t library -o -S 2 -a test:/d01/secure/vlib -v vlib
    ob> insertvol -L vlib -c 512 unlabeled 1-2
    ob> lsvol -L vlib
    Inventory of library vlib:
    in 1: unlabeled, barcode fec96134fdea10285e7000c2944f637

    ob> mkdev -t tape -o -a test:/d01/secure/vt1 -v -l vlib -d 1 vt1
    ob> lsvol -L vlib -D vt1
    Inventory of library vlib:
    * in 1: unlabeled, barcode fec96134fdea10285e7000c2944f637
    * in 2: unlabeled, barcode feef494efdea10285e7000c2944f637

    ob> mkdev -t tape -o -a test:/d01/secure/vt2 -v -l vlib -d 2 vt2
    ob> mkdev -t tape -o -a test:/d01/secure/vt3 -v -l vlib -d 3 vt3
    STEP 2)
    Then i created backup storage as RMAN default and selected vt1 as tape.
    after that with rman i took full database backup.

  • Tape drive reconfigure

    Hi all,
    i am presently running a server that has no video card. No problem to access it because a use rlogin to manage and maintain the server.
    Now i need to reconfigure the server to "see" the new tape drive i installed.
    One way to reconfigure the server is to use the OK prompt with the STOP-A keys. But that works only locally, not on the remote host.
    Is there a way to reconfigure the server by remote access?
    Thank you

    Thanks for the info. According to the following manual (caution it's a pdf), on pdf pages 31 & 32 of 149 ( manual pages 1-19 & 1-20) it is not hooked up exactly as specified but this shouldn't be a problem.
    They have the terminator on the AutoLoader. You have it on the drive.
    http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/handbook_pub/Systems/L9/documents/L9_svc.pdf
    The question I have is where is it connected to the E250? Did you have an HBA (Host Bus Adapter or SCSI controller) installed to support this L9. Depending on the drive installed in the L9, (DLT8000 vs DLT1) You would need the proper controller installed in one of the PCI slots in the E250. See:
    http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/handbook_pub/Systems/L9/components.html
    Also, if this is a DLT8000 drive in the L9 then you may want to load the latest st.conf patch to enable DLT8000 support in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file. Just search for st.conf in Free Patch Descriptions in SunSolve. Use the appropriate patch based on the Solaris version you have installed.

  • External tape drive DAT 72 problem

    Hi all,
    I have solaris 10 sparc running and working very well
    but i have problem with external SCSI tape drive DAT 72 problem
    it seems to me the tape drive is manufactured by SUN microsystems
    when i ran ls -l /dev/rmt/0
    it reveals the following output
    bash-3.00#  mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status
    /dev/rmt/0: No such file or directorywhen i ran ls -l
    it reveals the following output
    ls -l /dev/rmt/0
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          43 Sep 20  2006 /dev/rmt/0 -> ../../devices/pci@8,600000/scsi@1,1/st@3,0:it seems to me everything is okay
    SCSI cable is connected properly to Tape device and to server as well
    the tape has SCSI termination dongle as well and connected properly to Tape device as well
    any ideas would be a great assist
    Thanks in advance
    Edit/Delete Message

    first of all thanks for your reply
    it's not newly installed and i'm not sure if it was working or not because i'm successor for an administrator who left job to new
    by the way i rebooted to OBP multiple in hope that Solaris search for new peripherals and configure the one's it recognises.

  • 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,

    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:
    root@host1 # cfgadm -c configure c4::500110a0008a18eb
    cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node: 500110a0008a18eb: Invalid argumentAny help will be very appreciated,

    I have a Quantum SDLT 320 connected to Sun Fire v490 which can't be detected in solaris but can be detected in OBP .
    Can someone help about this issue.
    Your prompt response will be very appreciated.

    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
