AutoLoader - autochanger missing device

D Block 2 — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 16:13:47 GMT

Is there any document or checklist for setting up the AutoChanger device for the HP C6366A AutoLoader ? product C6366A is: C6366A which has the C1557A and C1557A from the ioscan.

How to configure the AutoChanger that is "unknown" from the IOSCAN command ?

# ioscan | grep unknown
unknown -1 0/0/2/0.3.1 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP C1557A

here is the ioscan

details:
DDS-3 Autoloader.C6366A
HP offers a six-cartridge DDS-3 autoloader (A3716A). This is a standalone device that has a single DDS-3 drive
and can hold up to six DDS-3 cartridges. Typical capacity is 144 GB assuming a 2:1 compression ratio. The
autoloader is supported only when used on a dedicated single ended SCSI bus and managed by a
backup/restore software package such as HP OmniBack II. Multiple autoloaders on a single bus is supported
provided only autoloaders are on the bus and all devices on the bus are managed by the same backup software
application.

Hi,

You need to have 'schgr" driver for autoloader(picker) added in kernel.

Refer the following doc page 2-6 to 2-8.
for configuration.

Hi Tom,

Add the driver 'schgr' to your kernel.
After the relink you will see a device file
like
