no handler for LTO Ultrium-3 Tape

[jmarin]

Hi,

Excuse me for my bad english,

I have a SUN sever with solaris 9 (installed like Storage Node ) connected to a jukebox QUALSTAR with 8 LTO-3 drives via SAN. Legato version 7.2.1 server and SN.

I installed the last patch recommended by SUN to update
the st kernel driver to support LTO-3. 113277-52.

The jbconfig command ran fine and the jukebox is configured without problem under NW. But when I try to label tapes the followings errors appear in the messages log:

"unload error for jukebox `rd=tuxsrv:Qualstar-LTO-3' detected. Retrying"

"rd=tuxsrv:/dev/rmt/0cbn no handler for LTO Ultrium-3 tape"

the "mt -f /dev/rmt/Xcbn [status][rew] [offline]" run fine when manually mount tapes into drives.

The nsrjb -l -f (devices) and nsrjb -u -f (devices) work
fine too.

Any idea?

The obvious problem is that you did not keep the device sequence as reported by inquire.

Consequently, NW loads one drive but reads/writes to another one.

To coreect the problem:
- rerun inquire
- print the report
- delete your jukebox configuration
- rerun jbconfig with the same device sequence as reported by inquire.

Thanks friend,

Look, this is the inquire output:

I did this configuration with jbconfig:

drive1= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/6cbn
drive2= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/4cbn
drive3= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/5cbn
drive4= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/6cbn
drive5= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/2cbn
drive6= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/1cbn
drive7= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/0cbn
drive8= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/3cbn


Do you think that is a right configuration?

Regards

Sorry my friend, i guess your tabel is wrong. It should read:

drive1= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/6cbn
drive2= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/4cbn
drive3= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/5cbn
drive4= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/6cbn <<< should be "7"
drive5= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/2cbn
drive6= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/1cbn
drive7= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/0cbn
drive8= scsidev@3.0.0:IBM | /dev/rmt/3cbn

NetWorker is at least so clever that you will not be able to create the same device path twice ;-))

Besides that ... yes, this is what it should be.
