DLT80e for Kclass

Raymond Sit — Tue, 27 May 2003 01:36:39 GMT

Hi

I just buy the SureStore DLT80e for the Kclass with HPUX10.20

Since the DLT80e supprt LVD/SE, so i connect it to the 28655A HP-PB SCSI adapter.

ext_bus 1 10/4/8 scsi1 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 28655A - SE SCSI ID=7

The system auto detect the driver and the ioscan -fnC tape:

tape 1 10/4/8.1.0 tape2 CLAIMED DEVICE QUANTUM DLT8000
/dev/diag/rmt/c1t1d0 /dev/rmt/c1t1d0BEST
/dev/rmt/1m /dev/rmt/c1t1d0BESTb
/dev/rmt/1mb /dev/rmt/c1t1d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/1mn /dev/rmt/c1t1d0BESTnb

However i can't use the drive..
# mt -t /dev/rmt/1mn status
/dev/rmt/1mn: I/O error
# mt -t /dev/rmt/1mn rew
/dev/rmt/1mn: I/O error
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/1mn /etc
tar: cannot open /dev/rmt/1mn

Thanks

Do you have the latest patches SCSI installed?
What firmware do you have loaded?
When you ran the mt -t commands, was there a tape loaded?
If so, hHave you tried some different tapes?

Is the device correctly terminated?

Hi,
It will not work on HPPB cards.
If you have HSC scsi card, then connect it or you can conncet it on core i/o card.
but the performance will be slower.

Hi,

Michael, I have install the latest patch

PHKL_22855 B.10.00.00.AA stape and tape2 cumulative patch

And i have load different type tape, the problem are still remain.

Animesh, I heard people say HPPB not support DLT. But the the DLT80e only support LVD/SE. The kclass server have

ext_bus 0 10/0 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE GSC built-in Fast/Wide SCSI Interface
ext_bus 1 10/4/8 scsi1 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 28655A - SE SCSI ID=7
ext_bus 2 10/4/12 scsi3 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 28696A - Wide SCSI ID=7
ext_bus 3 10/8 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE GSC add-on Fast/Wide SCSI Interface
ext_bus 4 10/12/5 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in SCSI

I have try to connect the DLT80e to those interface, but the server can't scan the device.

Hi animesh,

Did you recommend to put the conventor between the 28655A HP-PB SE SCSI adapter and the DLT80e?

Do you know how much it cost?

thanks
