We recently acquired a SAN storage device, having some<BR />troubles to access the storage from a Linux box i finally was able to do it<BR />with a Linux RedHat 7.3 and 8.0. This access is made from a fibre channel<BR />from the machine to a data switch and to the SAN itself.<BR /><BR />I want to use that machine to manage the MSL5026 Library (the backup<BR />device where all the tapes are). What happens is that the library is not<BR />directly connected to the SAN. The library connects to a Modular Data<BR />Router that connects to the data switch that connects to the SAN.<BR /><BR />From the Linux box, doing some debug I could find the data router in<BR />/dev/sg0, i am unable however to find the tape drives (there are 2 of<BR />them).<BR /><BR />The output from /proc/scsi/scsi is the following:<BR /><BR />Attached devices:<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: COMPAQ Model: DATA ROUTER Rev: 1170<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80CCL Rev: V85F<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80CCL Rev: V85F<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80CCL Rev: V85F<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80CCL Rev: V85F<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80CCL Rev: V85F<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR />Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00<BR />Vendor: DEC Model: HSG80CCL Rev: V85F<BR />Type: Unknown ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR /><BR /><BR />I have been googling for some time now but can't find help on the subject.
