Hello All!
We are trying to install the IBMTape device driver on our Solaris servers
that will do LAN-free data transfer to our LTO2 tape drives. The
individual installing the driver cannot see one of our drives and I was
wondering if anyone has ever seen this issue? Thank you!
Ref: IBM_ultrium_tape_IUG.pdf
The above PDF document pertains to installation and configuration of the
IBM Ultrium LTO2 Tape Device Drivers. The driver which we had downloaded
and installed is the:
Version 4.0.9.3
A brief description of the HARDWARE involved in this installation:
Fujitsu PrimePower 850
Solaris 8
Emulex LP9000 HBA
Normally, when we have DISKS connected via SCSI and/or via JNI HBAs, our
"sd.conf" file reflects:
name="sd" class="scsi" target=<target> lun=<lun>;
However, when we use EMULEX cards, the format of the entries change to:
name="sd" parent="lpfc" target=<target> lun=<lun>;
Note the change from "class="scsi"" to "parent="lpfc"".....
I would not think that the FORMAT of the SD.conf and the ST.conf would be
that much different.....therefore, I am of the thinking that it MAY make
sense that the entries in the "st.conf" would ALSO reflect "lpfc" IF Emulex
HBAs are involved.
The purpose of this query is to get a determination of what the entries
should reflect in the "st.conf" IF using EMULEX (lp9000) HBAs.....
