1)add stape driver to the kernel.
2)Run lsdev тАУC tape to verify the presence of the driver in the system
3)Run hook up the tape drive to the external scsi port and turn it on
4)Run insf тАУe to install the device files
5)Run ioscan тАУfn to get the system to pick up the tape drive
This procedure worked perfectly on two systems, but on the L2000 system the insf тАУe does not list out that it installed files for stape like it did on the other systems. I believe this is why in turn the ioscan for the tape drive fails. I cannot figure out why insf тАУe is failing when I can verify the presence of the stape driver in the kernel through SAM and also with lsdev тАУC tape. The scsi controller that I am attaching to is at 0/5/0/0.7.0 and is claimed by the system and presumably working. The termination of the tape drive would put it at 0.3.0, so there should not be any conflict and nothing else is on that scsi controller according to ioscan.
Anyway, I am a little bit mystified by this one. Everything worked so well with the other two HP-UX systems and making the ignite images was a piece of cake. Anyone have any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: trouble adding external tape drive to L2000 server
Another plan:
also, you can remove the Hardware path of the tape device. rmsf I believe and give the h/w path. reboot the server with the tape device power'ed off. once up, re-run the ioscan -kfnC tape. You should not see this device. Any claimed scsi id using 7 ?? Okay, nothing is using scsi id 7 ? So, turn the power on the tape device and run: IOSCAN -FN
do you see the tape device h/w path ? Now try that insf -ev followed by a IOSCAN -kfnC tape

Re: trouble adding external tape drive to L2000 server
Post the output of ioscan -fn with that tape drive connected are powered on. ... and yes, the entire output should be posted.
The standard things to examine are 1) is this SCSI bus properly terminated? In exactly two places and at the physical ends of the bus? Is at least one device supplying termination power? ... and "termination" has absolutely nothing to do with the SCSI ID.

Re: trouble adding external tape drive to L2000 server
If so, in the past we've experienced problems on RP54xx/L-Class systems with tape units connected to that particular bus.
The problem appeared on some of those systems but not on all of them.
Unfortunately we never really put alot of time and effort in it to see if it was related to firmware or something.
Instead we just ordered a lvd interface for all systems just to be sure.
