PAX: Not such device or address

Jesus_51 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:29:01 GMT

Hi,

I have a new MSL4048 G3 with two drives LTO5 FC connected to SAN. I have the zonning with my server, HP rx6600.

If I execute ioscan command I see hw address correctly. I can load and unload tapes to drives.

The problem is when I execute pax command for example, and I try to write in tape loaded.

I obtain the error:

No such device or address.

Thanks,

Jesus

Could you please post the iosscan and your command line?

If there is no tape in drive, you get exactly this message (write to the wrong drive?).

And how about your command?

Sure you used the correct tape device?

The command that I use is:

# pax -v -x pax -w -f /dev/rtape/tape5_BESTnb

I have to insert two cartridges in the two drives.

In a one drive (/dev/rtape/tape5_BESTnb) I obtain this error:

pax: /dev/rtape/tape5_BESTnb No such device or address

and If I execute the command in the other drive (/dev/rtape/tape6_BESTnb) I obtain:

pax: /dev/rtape/tape6_BESTnb I/O error

Thanks
