Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1
My understanding from the console and scu show edt is that the changer is lun1 and the tape drive is lun 0
>scu show edt
0 6 0 Sequential SCSI-3 ARCHIVE Python 06241-XXX 8160 W
0 6 1 Changer SCSI-3 ARCHIVE Python 06241-XXX 8160 W
8 6 0 Sequential SCSI-3 SEAGATE DAT 06241-XXX 8110 N
8 6 1 Changer SCSI-3 SEAGATE DAT 06241-XXX 8110 N
how come scu can see it but hwmgr can't ?

Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1
# hwmgr view d
HWID: Device Name Mfg Model Location
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
226: /dev/ntape/tape4 COMPAQ SDLT320 bus-1-targ-0-lun-2
227: /dev/changer/mc2 MSL5000 Series bus-1-targ-0-lun-0
228: /dev/ntape/tape5 COMPAQ SDLT320 bus-1-targ-0-lun-1

Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1
what is the output of
# hwmgr -show scsi -did 9 -full
please try to post it as a .TXT attachment. If you simply paste it in the message box all spaces are collapsed.

I beleive there is a problem with the reporting of these devices. They look the same to Tru64 Unix Version 5, so it beleives LUNs 0 and 1 are just different paths to the same device.

Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1
Anyway, the last output clearly shows that the operating system beleives that bus:target:lun 8:6:0 and 8:6:1 refer to the same device. It somehow cannot tell them apart.

Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1
Verify the named tape/changer is supported with the OS-version and ddr database contains valid entries for the tape/changer.
(see http://ftp.support.veritas.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_DataCenter/255216.pdf - Tru64 5.x config - for information which entries are necessary)
Next be sure you installed the latest patchkit, e.g. a problem in 5.1A pk 3 leads to similar problem.
If using only the tape drives, unplug the changer and delete the device within Tru64 (hwmgr/dsfmgr - have a look into the admin guide explaining syntax and command)

Re: tape drive on tru64 5.1
here is my plan for your reference.
the idea is put the pieces on one by one.
1. if applicable, apply the latest patch kit
2. "hwmgr -delete" to remove the changer AND tape.
3. disconnect changer and keep tape connected.
4. /sbin/dn-setup -install_tape
5. is tape working fine ? ( i bet it's working )
6. ( hwmgr -delete ) remove tape and disconnect
7. connect changer.
8. do same to create device name
9. does changer work ?
(assuming you connect HW to where they used to be )if it works, confilict between changer and tape due to bus # ? low quality cable ? whatever ?
if it won't work. compatibilities ?
just thoughts.
Good Luck!
