Re: storagetek L20 on hpux 11i
If it were merely a driver not configured problem, then ioscan would show the device with a NO_DRIVER message.
Are you sure that the drive is installed properly in the library, with an ID different from the robot?

Re: storagetek L20 on hpux 11i
Is there a trick to find the correct ID so we can see both at the same time?

SolutionI'm not familiar with L20 library, but I believe there's problen with its configuration. So please make sure that drives are residing on the same bus as autochanger and congigured to have different SCSI Ids (and not Id0 as autochanges occupies it). If there's another FC port in L20 on which drives are configured you need to connect that port to switch too.
Generally, you have to be digging aroung L20 library, not aroung hpux server and brocade switch.
Good luck!

Re: storagetek L20 on hpux 11i
We now can see both devices in ioscan and we can write to the tape with tar.
We're facing some problems with writing to the tape with fbackup.
Following patches are installed: PHCO_23914 and PHKL_27304
we're getting the error fbackup(3038): output file /dev/rmt/0mn is not a valid device file for backup
any help is much appreciated.

Re: storagetek L20 on hpux 11i
"fbackup should not be used with no-rewind devices, for example, /dev/rmt/0mn."
Try using /dev/rmt/0m

Re: storagetek L20 on hpux 11i
Internally in our L20 library there is a LTO drive: SEAGATE ULTRIUM06242-XXX

Re: storagetek L20 on hpux 11i
we finally got it working with the help of HP support.
We had to use the following command syntax in fbackup (just an example):
fbackup -f baantest:/dev/rmt/0m -i /etc
This means we had to put the hostname in front of the device. This way fbackup thinks it is a remote device and it isn't so restrictive on its characteristics.
We also noticed the following:
> MagTape Type: Device type cannot be determined
This means that the system has recognised the device as a tape drive (hence the stape assignment) but does not recognise it as a
supported device.
The fbackup command will not recognise the device because
"MagTape Type: Device type cannot be determined".
If it was a supported HP LTO/ultrium drive the program would have said:
"Linear Tape Open".
> tape 0 0/4/0/0.1.22.255.0.0.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE
ULTRIUM06242-XXX
> autoch 0 0/4/0/0.1.22.255.0.0.1 schgr CLAIMED DEVICE STK L20
HP says that the stape driver would need to be enhanced to recognise and fully support this device.
