Need help for configuring MSL 6000 on Solaris 10 and SLES 9

HI,

I have a MSL 6000 Tape library connect to a FC switch through an NSR router(SCSI to FC router).I have connected 3 hosts in SAN to the FC switch.On HP-UX machine which is successfully configured For MSL 6000 and DP 5.5 installed which "devbra -dev" shows the changer as well as two tape drives.

However on the other two hosts solaris 10 and Sles 9 i have problems with the OS configuration itself for MSL 6000.

On solaris 10 when i try to load the sst drive (I followed DP documentation .SST driver comes along with DP software)it says driver loaded but failed to attach.( ie add_drv sst).This is a Sparc machine.
when i run "devbra - dev" it shows the 2 drives but not the changer.

ON SlES 9 i dodnot knwo how to configure MSL 6000 at the OS level itself forget about through DP.

Can anyone please help.Both the SLES 9 and Solarsi10 has qla2300 with appropraite drivers installed

Thanks in advance
Kishan

YUp,

You need to populate your sst.conf file provided with DP

# This is the table used by devlinks

# Each entry should have 2 fields; but may have 3. Fields are separated

#
# The fields are:
#
# devfs-spec: a keyword-value set of devfs specifications, describing the set
# of devfs node entries to be linked.
#
# The keywords are:
#
# type - The devinfo node type (see for possible values)
#
# name - the devinfo node name (the part of a /devices entry that appears
# before the '@' or ':').
#
# addr - the devinfo node address part (the portion of the name between
# the '@' and the ':').
#
# minor - the minor-attributes (the portion of a /devices name after the
# ':').
#
# The keywords are separated from their valuse by an equals ('=') sign;
# keyword-value pairs are separated from each other by semicolons (';').
#
# dev name - the /dev name corresponding to the devfs node described by
# the devfs-spec field. This specification is assume to start rooted at
# /dev; THE INITIAL /dev/ SHOULD NOT BE SPECIFIED!
# The name can contain a number of escape-sequences to include parts of
# the devfs-name in the /dev/-name. These escape-sequences all start with
# a backslash ('\') character. The current sequences are:
#
# \D - the devfs 'name' field
#
# \An - the 'n'th component of the address field (n=0 means the whole
# address field)
#
# \Mn - the 'n'th component of the minor field (n=0 means the entire
# minor field).
#
# \Nn - a sequential counter, starting at n (a *single* digit, giving
# a starting range of 0 through 9).
#
# extra dev link - a few devices need a second link; that is, a second link
# pointing to the first link. This optional field specifies the /dev

Hi,

Thanks for the information but may I know "w100000e00202dc0f,1", Is this a world wide name use in the SAN switch.

Hi,

Sorry I am not very familiar with SAN. This is a port WWN. I can see many WWN there, even each port has their unique WWN. I suppose I should put in the port WWN that this library is connected

w100000e00202dc0f,1

The number "1" in your /etc/devlink.tab at the back is this a Lun number. How can I find out my Lun number?
