Ultra 20/25 with SDLT600 tape drive

Hi,
I have a customer who requires a Sun desktop with the ability to attach to Sun's SDLT600 tap drive. According to all of the configuration docs and Webdesk, this is not supported with the Ultra 20/25. Does anyone know why or if there are any plans to support this in the near future?

... and using the Spectrum SSH, the external SDLT600 peripheral
shows information on its SCSI interface, and that it is LVD/SE
One or more of the the adapter cards that were mentioned by Michael would work.
Though I would have hoped to have seen the X6758A card among the choices.
Log in to Sunsolve, go to the SSH, then
Components --> Removable Media (External) --> SDLT600
You'll be able to see that desktop and/or rackable device.
Perhaps it's time to call Sun's pre-sales techsupport.
Those Sun employees would have the best chance to get accurate information for you.
This is just a public discussion forum; not Sun techsupport.

Backup strategy with no tape drives/library

Hi, I am new into the job of sys admin, so we recently setup a system with running solaris 10 and with its storage as a NetApp, but we do not have yet a library or tape drive attached to it.
So how can I approach this problem? Can I setup a LUN on NetApp and copy all important stuff to that LUN?

For the oracle backup, oracle should have comands to dump or export the database to a file, and that file could be backed up. Alternately, there are problably options to put the database in read-only mode, so that you can back up the database files without worrying that they will be changed during the backup.
For other files, if you are using zfs snapshots, you could back up the zfs snapshots even if the original file is still open.
You might also want to look at the rysnc command- that should let you back up only files that have differ between the source and destination (i.e. you could do differential backups.) So maybe you could a monthly full backup with tar to NAS or SAN, a weekly rsync incremental backup, and daily zfs snapshot that is kept for a week.

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 16:20:24 madera cpr: [ID 122848 kern.warning] WARNING: Unable to suspend device st@4,0.
Mar 21 16:20:24 madera cpr: [ID 537702 kern.warning] WARNING: Device is busy or does not support suspend/resume.

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!

What external tape drives are compatible with sunblade 100s?

hi,
please, can anybody tell me:
1. where i can find out whether or not a particular tape drive is compatible with my sunblade 100 workstation running solaris 9?
2. do external tape drives usually connect to the workstation's serial port?
3. what kind of specs/features should i be looking out for?
thanks in advance for your replies.

I would imagine you could use any tape drive with your sun blade... most are connected by either scsi or fiber channel... there could be some that are network controlled... not aware of any that are controlled by serial port...
GOOGLE is a wonderful thing... try it, you will like it...
compatibility is more concerned with which OS and program you want to use with the tape drive...
specs depend on what you are backing up... a single user would most likely only need a single drive... if you were a multi-national corp, then maybe you might contact Sun Sales...
maybe you should to some research yourself...

-36 errors, can't copy files in finder or backup to tape drive

Does anyone know what causes -36 errors and how we can eliminate them? We need to backup our files, but have been unable to do so due to -36 I/O errors in Retrospect. Files on which this error is reported by Retrospect will not copy in the finder, either. I think our hard drive may be bad. How can we recover our files if they cannot be backed-up or copied?
We recently purchased a tape drive for backup, an Exabyte VXA-2 FireWire Tape Drive. We are using VXA-2 V23 (230m) 80GB/160/GB Data Cartridges. I have verified that this drive is supported by Retrospect and that we have the correct tape cartridge. We are backing up one partition of a hard drive that is divided into two partitions. One is the start-up partition, the other is a partition on which we store customer files. We are backing up the partition that stores customer files. The tape drive is attached to and backing up a Macintosh G3 that was recently upgraded from system 9 to OS X 10.3.9 (Panther). The hard drive was not re-formatted before OS X was installed. I have downloaded updates and updated our Retrospect to the latest Retrospect version 6.1.126. I keep getting read errors when trying to backup the customer files partition, although I have ran every good repair program I know of to that partition — TechTool, Disk Warrior and Disk Utility. The tests all say the drive is OK. The only test I have not done recently is a surface scan, as this is an over-night procedure, but plan to do it this evening. A surface scan was done at the beginning of January, but we have continued to have problems. Yesterday morning I ran Disk Utility and it verified that the partition was okay.
I am fairly certain the problem is not with the tape drive, as a test backup up of some of the problem customer files to a file backup on the startup drive also produced many -36 errors. Also the tape drive worked on another Mac with no -36 errors.
The following is an excerpt from the log of last night's backup when the program was backing up (this is a very small portion of the whole log, there was a very long list of files it reported read errors on) Following this excerpt is also an excerpt of errors reported while the program was trying to verify the backup:

The only suggestion I have come across is to copy the files to another drive, but this is impossible because the problem files cannot be copied. If anyone has any other suggestion for fixing this, I would appreciate any input. Thanks.
Mac G3 Blue & White 300 mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) Original hard drive replaced with a 120 GB Maxtor 6Y120P0

Tech Tool, Disk Warrior, and Disk Utility all work to make sure the directory is Okay. They do not read every block.
I think you should do the surface scan you spoke of. What program do you use for this?
If you cannot copy a file in the Finder without an I/O error, the file is damaged or the drive had bad blocks.
Be sure you also downloaded the drivers module when you updated retrospect.

Tape drive selection for SAP r/3 Landscape

Dear frinds,
We are presently in the process of selection of Tape drive for our sap r/3 landscape. I.e, in the process of sap sizing.
My backup requirements are upto 1 TB. We have development QA and PRD servers in our landscape. We are planning for SAN based storage solution.
What I would like to know are as follows...
1. We are planning for SAN Based Tepe library.
With SAN Based tape library is it manditory to use Backup manager to initiate backup and restore operations.
My question is b'cos i need to upgrade skillset
Is it possible to mount the Single SAN Based Tape drive on my Development, QA and PRD as if they appear as local drives (file system )on the servers. If this is not possible i need to know about the tape drive which can be mounted as local tape drive.
I want only one tape drive in my landscap and I must be able to use sap r/3 tools to backup and restore.
Keeping presice my expectation what i want to know is : I want to conduct backup and restore operations in my SAP r/3 landscape with single tape drive and using SAP BRtools only( i.e. using DB13/ BRtools from command mode ).
It would be great suggested and participated in discussion.
Thanks and Regards,
Sree Ramam SNV

Hi Nirav,

Tape Drive and Library Compatibility Matrix - Oracle Secure Backup Express

Does Oracle Secure Backup Express support IBM System Storage TS3200 Tape Library with two Tape Drives?
Regards
Rado

That library is listed on the support matrix which applies to both OSB-XE and OSB:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/secure-backup/pdf/Tape_Devices10.2.pdf
Keep in mind that OSB-XE licensing restricts usage to one server direct attached to one tape drive. Per your post, your library has 2 tape drives which cannot be used with OSB-XE but certainly could with OSB.

How to use multiple tape drive for single filesystem on single client.

Hello All.
I want to backup single filesystem with multiple tape drive.
Incase of Symantec veritas netbackup "NEW_STREAM" for multi-stream backup.
Backup client has a single backup filesystem like /data1 directory with 4 LTO6 drives.
/data1 directory doesn't have a sub-direcotry, just present a files.
If /data1 directory has a sub-directory like /data1/aaa, /data1/bbb, /data1/ccc , Is it possible to use multiple drives?
Please anybody answer the questions.
Thanks advanced.

See how to use multiple tape drive from single client when I want to backup single filesystem?

Sony SDT-5000 Tape Drive & OS9.2

Good evening (well it is where I am...) everyone.
I have recently obtained an immaculate (almost NOS!) Power Macintosh 8600/250, running 0S 9.2.
It comes equipped with a Apple factory fitted tape drive (the aforementioned model). Apart from the usual computer (pronounce it just like Scotty did in ST:TVH) manuals and software, there is nothing that tells me how to use (or interact) with this drive. I have some tapes and when I put them in, the drive appears to recognise the tape and there is much flashing of LEDs.
The tape drive shows up in the system profiler but its entry indicates "no mounted media inserted".
A search of the sony DDS tape archive doesn't really help me with my current predicament which is this:
Is there any driver or software I need as I would love to use this tape drive with my 8600/250? The zip drive only takes 100MB disks and I have already filled five of these up...
Any help would be gratefully acknowledged.
Kind regards,
PW&Co.

Hi, Padraig, and welcome to Apple Discussions. The best thing to do with your tape drive is ignore it, and get a nice big external hard drive on which to back up your data.
The reason you hardly ever see tape drives advertised any more is that practically no one wants them — with good reason. They're dead slow, costly, trouble-prone, inconvenient to use, unsupported by most current consumer backup software, and generally inferior in every imaginable way to hard drives, whose per-GB cost has now fallen to less than 10% of what it was when the 8600 was a current model and tape drives were seen as reasonable data backup devices.
Buy yourself a $15 FireWire PCI adapter card and a big FireWire external drive. You'll be far happier than you'd be fighting your tape drive.

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?

External Tape Drives

Hello,
Can soemone recommend a nice scsi external tape drive which I can use on my SunFire V480, running Solaris 9.
Thanks .

I would imagine you could use any tape drive with your sun blade... most are connected by either scsi or fiber channel... there could be some that are network controlled... not aware of any that are controlled by serial port...
GOOGLE is a wonderful thing... try it, you will like it...
compatibility is more concerned with which OS and program you want to use with the tape drive...
specs depend on what you are backing up... a single user would most likely only need a single drive... if you were a multi-national corp, then maybe you might contact Sun Sales...
maybe you should to some research yourself...

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.

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:

The hotplug service did not exist until I installed the following patches

142910-17 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
144489-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch

c5 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
pcie160 scsi/hp connected configured ok
Running “devfsadm –v “ does not change anything
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.

Can I use tape drive for backup with win 2012 OS & Sybase database?

I have installed enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 with OS windows 2012 and database sybase ASE(15.7.050). I am facing problem while taking database backup on tape drive. I want to know how to initialize tape drive in case of sybase DB and is it possible to take back-up on same. I failed to schedule backup from DB13 so now I am doing that activity by command line. So please help me to solve these issues.
Here I am attaching some files related with backup commands that presently I am using. My SAP system ID is DQS.

That output actually looks pretty good, it was dumping to the tape drive, it just ran out of tape because the drive apparently doesn't automatically detect when it is reaching the end.
For the next step, try adding a CAPACITY parameter to your dump command as discussed at these places in the documentation.
Specifying tape capacity for dump commands
Set the Maximum Capacity for a Tape Drive
Your output above shows it was able to dump 87565594 KB before it ran out of tape,
so lets be a little conservative and try
dump database DQS to TAPE1 with capacity = 87000000, init
go
When the dump reaches that point, ASE should prompt you to pop in another new tape
and then issue the sp_volchanged procedure from a second session (it will tell you what parameters to use for sp_volchanged).
Note: once we get the dump working successfully, we can then create a logical dump device that would store the capacity value, and create a full dump configuration so you gain all the new functionality like dump history, etc.

How to duplex archivelog with just one tape drive ?

The subject explains everything.
My company has just one tape drive, however I'm afraid to lose the only tape that contains just 1 copy of archivelog.
I've my own scripts to try simulate duplexing, but I'd like to know if someone has a problem like me and what do you do to workaround it.
Thank you very much
Marcelo Sinni

Yes, I do. I've three scripts simulating trying to obtain 3 copies of the same archivelog:
RMAN> print script ArchiveF1;
printing stored script: ArchiveF1
{allocate channel c1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'OB_MEDIA_FAMILY Oradell01-Archives-F1-A';
sql "alter system archive log stop";
sql "alter system switch logfile";
sql "alter system switch logfile";
backup
format 'F1_%U.arch'
(archivelog until time "TRUNC(SYSDATE+1,'DD')" NOT BACKED UP 3 TIMES);
RMAN> print script ArchiveF2;
printing stored script: ArchiveF2
{allocate channel c1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'OB_MEDIA_FAMILY Oradell01-Archives-F2-A';
backup
format 'F2_%U.arch'
(archivelog until time "TRUNC(SYSDATE+1,'DD')" NOT BACKED UP 3 TIMES);
RMAN> print script ArchiveF3;
printing stored script: ArchiveF3
{allocate channel c1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
send 'OB_MEDIA_FAMILY Oradell01-Archives-F3-A';
backup
format 'F3_%U.arch'
(archivelog until time "TRUNC(SYSDATE+1,'DD')" NOT BACKED UP 3 TIMES delete all input);
sql "alter system archive log start";
In this script ArchiveF1, I stop ARCH process and afterwards execute two log switch (since I've three redo logs and whereas the DB is in archivelog mode, the third log switch will not happen, so I eliminate the possibility to occur a log switch during archivelog backup thence I have three identical copies of archivelogs in three separated tapes.)
ArchiveF3 enable archivelog again.
To me it has worked fine but, I'd like another opinions about that.
Thanks
