Hmm....good point Jozef....well, maybe I'm missing something too. Did you run "drvconfig" then "tapes" after you rebooted? I've acquired the devices several times doing these two commands. Note that in almost every instance, I needed to double check with the network guys to ensure that my fibre connections were zoned correctly.

But I have non IBM DLT drive. The problem is, that software driver for my HBA does not create standard SCSI devices (with SCSI target and LUN) in Solaris, so it is not possible to use TSM device driver, which is AFAIK, driven to use only SCSI devices. This is part of my messages file: /pci@4,4000/SUNW,qlc@3/fp@0,0/st@w100000e00221f7f5,0 (st85): May 7 18:32:53 tsm <Vendor 'DEC ' Product 'TZ89 (C) DE'> May 7 18:32:53 tsm unix: st85 at fp0: May 7 18:32:53 tsm unix: name w100000e00221f7f5,0, bus address 1 May 7 18:32:53 tsm unix: st85 is /pci@4,4000/SUNW,qlc@3/fp@0,0/st@w100000e00221f7f5,0 May 7 18:32:53 tsm unix: /pci@4,4000/SUNW,qlc@3/fp@0,0/st@w100000e00221f7f5,0 (st85) online AFAIK TSM device driver for nonIBM devices support only SCSI devices, not FC devices. Or am I missing something? Now I am going to change Fcode in HBA so that it will be original Qlogic 2200 and I will use Qlogic device drivers. According to Tivoli it should be supported configuration. Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s.

There are 4 things that need to be done or it won't work: 0. Ensure that you've moved the /kernel/drv/st.conf somewhere else. Solaris will try and grab your scsi tape devices otherwise. 1. Make sure your fabric is set up correctly and that at boot up (ck the /var/adm/messages files) you see your IBMtape device drivers and HBA acquired targets. Here's a clip of what I'm talking about: May 3 18:04:35 bst7-1 unix: IBMtape254 at lpfc1: May 3 18:04:35 bst7-1 unix: IBMtape178 at lpfc1: May 3 18:04:35 bst7-1 unix: NOTICE: lpfc1: Acquired FCP/SCSI Target 9 LUN 1 May 3 18:04:35 bst7-1 unix: NOTICE: lpfc1: Acquired FCP/SCSI Target 9 LUN 2 May 3 18:04:35 bst7-1 unix: NOTICE: lpfc1: Acquired FCP/SCSI Target 9 LUN 3 3. Next check that your /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf file has the requisite objects not #'d out. We typically leave all 16 instances open.

My environment is as follows: TSM server 4.2.1.9 on Sun Solaris 2.8 with Sun PCI FC HBA (OEM of Qlogic 2200) - part No. X6799A with device driver Qlogic FCA Driver v0.40.5. Library contains one Quantum DLT7000 drive and is attached to Crossroads 4250. TSM server and Crossroads are attached to FC switch Brocade Silkworm. In Solaris I can see DLT drive and Library, but when I try to use TSM device driver (using command "add_drv mt") it runs without any error messages, but it does not create special device file in directory /dev/rmt. Does anyone of you, guys, have gone through this with success? If yes, can you please share your configuration and versions of device drivers, firmware and so on? I am also going to ask Tivoli support if Sun FC HBA has already been tested with TSM. Ing. Jozef Zatko Login a.s. Dlha 2, Stupava tel.: (421) (2) 60252618
