Hi Jane, I normally don't use or turn on SANDiscovery on Linux 86_64 and x86 because of that reason, it normally don't work. I sow a article on IBM website where you need to copy a library file to /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin or something like that but it never worked.
One thing that pops up in my head when I reading your email is MPIO to your library? Do you have multiple paths to your Tape Drives? And have you turned on MPIO (MPATH) Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: christian.svens...@cristie.se Skype: cristie.christian.svensson ________________________________________ Från: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ads...@vm.marist.edu] för janecb01 [tsm-fo...@backupcentral.com] Skickat: den 17 september 2009 21:42 Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Ämne: RHEL5-2.6.18.96 - Lin_tape 1.24-Sandiscovery wont work Hi, I have compiled the latest Lin_tape and installed lin_taped on my Linux RHEL5 server.. I am using a Netapp Nearstor VTL emulating IBM LTO4 drives. Sandiscovery will not work, and at best will crash the system every few hours or so unless it is turned off - / or set to PASSIVE. When I scan the system, the drives are dicovered and connected to the lin_tape driver: lin_tape: detected device at host 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 1 IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 022C lin_tape: successfully attached IBMtape0 lin_tape: detected device at host 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 2 IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 022C lin_tape: successfully attached IBMtape1 lin_tape: detected device at host 1, channel 0, id 0, lun 3 but as soon as tapes start loading we get various errors: lin_tape: IBMtape20----51868 tape_logsense_page() unable to do log sense lin_tape: IBMtape20----51868 tape_logsense_page() unable to do log sense lin_tape: IBMChgr1-----80401 changer_check_result() sensekey: 6 asc: 28 ascq: 0 lin_tape: IBMtape19----b4fb0 tape_set_all_parms() unable to change recovery timeouts The crashing has become very annoying - IBM recommends a QLogic hba driver that is not supported by QLogic or RHEL5 (8.01.06) We have 8.02.23 - but that might not be related. IBM has been studying the information for a while now.. but this is getting very frustrated. The lin_tape compiled without error for my kernel. Sandiscovery will not adjust the devices as it does on AIX perfectly.. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
