Hi ,
Can anyone tell me hiw to map MSL8096 drive 0 1 & 2 with our O.S ?
If backup is going on in drive 1 , how can we crosscheck from O.S end ( 11iv2 or 11iv3 ) ?
ioscan -fnc tape shows a lot of info ; how do we use that information to verify the same ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Map tape library drives with O.S
What exatcly do you want to check?
If your drive 1 in OS is really drive 1 of the library?
Connect to the library web interface and get the serial numbers of the drives.
The from OS 11.31 do
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a hw_path -a device_file -a wwid -a serial_number | grep tape
64000/0xfa00/0x20:/dev/rtape/tape6_BEST:0x500110a001012345:"HU10123456"
Compare the serial numbers!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

SolutionYou can also compare the WWN of the drive. This will always remain the same, even if you replace a bad drive.
Try this:
# fcmsutil /dev/fcd1 get remote all Target N_Port_id is = 0x160000 Target state = DSM_UNOPENED Symbolic Name = HP Ultrium 4 Fibre Channel S/N-HU18512345 Port-0 Port Type = N_PORT FCP-2 Support = YES Target Port World Wide Name = 0x500110a000912345 Target Node World Wide Name = 0x500110a000912346
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Map tape library drives with O.S
I'm sure the drive at 0/7/1/0/4/0.97.3.255.0.0.1 is 1, at 0/7/1/0/4/0.97.3.255.0.0.2 is 2, because this is the default.
But you can verify with "fcsmutil".
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
