add disk/tape to rp3440

romano r_1 — Mon, 03 Jan 2005 11:40:50 GMT

Hi have a new rp3440, I attached a DLT tape to its external SCSI but ioscan doen not see it, then I shifted the 2nd internal disk to the empty SSCI slot (that should belong to the same SCSI channed of the ext SCSI) and ioscan does not see it also.
I shutdown a restarted the machine several times without any changes.
Any Idea?
thanks
Romano

Make sure the scsi id of the DLT is not 0 (zero). That would be the same as the SCSCI card and would cause it to not work.

Try a different cable if everything seems good.

ioscan -fnC ext_bus

Hi All,
SCSI ID: I tryed with different IDs
CABLE: It is ok, I use the same tape for another machine.

The base SCSI arcitecture of this machine foresee 4 SCSI "channel: divided in 2 controller; with referenco of the ioscan I attached, if you see internal disks c2t0d0 and c2t1d0 are connected to the same SCSI controller (/dev/rscsi/c1t7d0). If I connect c2t1d0 on the 2nd controller (/dev/rscsi/c2t7d0) it is not detected as well as the DLT It's seems that the SCSI controller in "disabled".

Thanks
Romano

Hi romano

Why don't you check and install it by using SAM?
Go to SAM--->Kernal Configuration--->Drivers.
Then search for "tape" keyword.
As your system status, the Status field will be the "Out" status. Let change to "In" status and reboot the server.

Goodluck!

Hi romano

Anyway, you have to make sure that the SCSI cable connection is correct! Check again the connection so far......

Goodluck!

After that you can install again all of the tape drive with the command:(only tape class)
#rm -f /dev/rmt/*
#insf -eC tape
