RE: [Bacula-users] bacula on solaris 10 with fibre attached library

[tom.boyda]

Hello Brian,   I have a Solaris 9 system on a SunFire v240 running a Qualstar RLS8232 SCSI Attached with 2 LTO1 tape drives.   It is a little different – but similar enough to demonstrate what needs to be done.   I edited the /kernel/drv/st.conf to make sure the tape devices would get recognized and then I added an entry into /kernel/drv/sgen.conf so that Solaris would recognize and create a device for changer.   Then I installed mtx to work the changer and I use 0cbn and 1cbn for my devices. Use the btape test program to make sure you have the correct tape definitions – I didn’t and caused myself some grief until I tested the tape devices and used the correct devices.   Before I go any further in building this environment, I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with the following configuration or similar.   Sun e480 running Solaris 10 OS Sun storedge L180 fiber attached autochanger with 6 LTO2 fibre attached drives. The 6 drives are connected though brocade 3850 switches The robot is directly connected to fibre hba   I’m not entirely sure how to configure Solaris to control the autochanger and tape drives. I’m assuming I can use MTX, but I can’t seem to find any documentation on how to set this up in Solaris. The sun documentation mostly refers to legato and veritas procedures and they are not helping at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom. ---- Thomas J. Boyda Consultant 276-739-2314 (Desk)
