Quantum Scalar i500 setup - inquire sees drives, but changer

[mantab888]

Here's the environment:

Sun Fire V250 running Solaris 9, connected via Fiber to a new Quantum i500 scalar with 4 LTO-3 FC drives. The Sun Server has 2 Dual Channel QLogic 2342 cards. When I run inquire -lc I am seeing the tape drives, but not the changer. I am configuring by running:

# lus_add_fp_devs

Updating /usr/kernel/drv/lus.conf

The changes made to lus.conf will not take effect until lus is reloaded.

If you are sure that no process is currently using lus to control
a tape library, then it may be safely unloaded.

Would you like to unload lus? (y/n) y

lus is not currently loaded

Would you like to load and configure lus using the newly modified lus.conf? (y/n) y

Would you like to run inquire? (y/n) y

The control path is set and when I run through the QLogic driver I can see the changer; however, not through "inquire'. Does anybody have any ideas?

Hi,

you need to add the WWN of the Solaris host to the mapping in the ADIC Config in the gui to see the changer.

(thats what i did in my Sclar I2000)

Thanks for the reply. I talked to my Quantum FE and he explained that the i2000 has a FC switch in it and the i500 doesn't. We are directly connecting to the library, so that setting doesn't pertain to this environment. The feeling now is that it's a problem with NetWorker. I will try to upgrade from 7.2.2.Build422 to 494 and see if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks!

Hi,

its true that "normally" a Scalar I2000 has a Switch inside, but our not because we using LTO3 and there the Switch would be "overloaded" so also all out Drives and the Libary is directly connected to the (in our case Brocade) Switch.

So iam not sure if your SE is right !

Ill posted you a screenshot about the point i mean here:

Thanks for the information and screenshot!! I was able to resolve the problem myself by modifying the /usr/kernel/drv/lus.conf file to be:

name="lus" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500308c09bd61005";
name="lus" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500308c09bd61000";
name="lus" parent="fp" target=0 lun=1 fc-port-wwn="500308c09bd61001";
name="lus" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500308c09bd61091";
name="lus" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500308c09bd61095";

Where the library control path is "added" as
name="lus" parent="fp" target=0 lun=1 fc-port-wwn="500308c09bd61001";

I have the library configured and have been enjoying the 115 mb/s throughput to the new drives!!
