could i get a sanity check please? i've replaced my spectralogic T50 (had some hardware issues) and i'm rebuilding backup server. i'm working through the basic tape and changer tests. scsi looks like this:
[r...@molbio bin]# lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA TOSHIBA MK2035GS DK02 /dev/sda [1:0:0:0] disk ATA TOSHIBA MK2035GS DK02 /dev/sdb [4:0:0:0] disk AMCC 9650SE-16M DISK 3.08 /dev/sdc [5:0:14:0] tape IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 89B8 /dev/st0 [5:0:15:0] tape IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 89B8 /dev/st1 [5:0:15:1] mediumx SPECTRA PYTHON 2000 - mtx status looks as i would expect: [r...@molbio bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg5 status Storage Changer /dev/sg5:2 Drives, 30 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Data Transfer Element 1:Empty Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=000290L4 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=012477L4 etc .... however, when i use mtx to load a tape i get somewhat unexpected results: [r...@molbio bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg5 load 1 0 should load slot 1 into /dev/st0, i think, what i get is this: [r...@molbio bin]# mt -f /dev/nst0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (50000): DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN [r...@molbio bin]# mt -f /dev/nst1 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x46 (no translation). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN and if i add: [r...@molbio bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg5 load 2 1 [r...@molbio bin]# mt -f /dev/nst0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x46 (no translation). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN [r...@molbio bin]# mt -f /dev/nst1 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x46 (no translation). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN now both are loaded. it seems the drives are reversed somehow. i don't really understand. any help appreciated. -- michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
