San Tape Device not seen

[Mark Trux]

Hello,
We have an the following

Hardware:BL870c

OS:11iv3

FC:LPe1105 FC Mezzanine Adapte

Library: ESL 712e/322 with 12 LTO 4 Ultrium tape drives

SAN Switch:Cisco MDS-9513

The SAN people have told me that they have presented these tape drives through the FIber Card.

No matter if I reboot, insf -e. I can not see the tape drives?

Help

Shalom,

ioscan what if anything do you see.

insf -e tape

I don't think the two commands above will work. More likely, you will need to check the physical connection the health of the fiber card/hba with fcmsutil, look for scsi address conflicts.

Still not tapes...

[Mark Trux]

The SAN people said they can see the devices from the switch

Any "UNKNOWN" devices in ioscan?

Check presentation and zoning too.

[Avinash20]

ioscan -kfnC tape
ioscan -fnC tape

[Mark Trux]

There are no unknown in ioscan.
What do I need to ask the SAN team to look for as far as zoning and presentation?

[Mark Trux]

Legacy devices have been disabled. ioscan -fnC tape will not work.
I have tried ioscan -fnNC tape with no luck

With commandview TL you can configure the library to be accessible from a certain host. Check this.

Get the WWN of the servers HBA with fcmsutil and tell to your SAN folks. Let them check the zoning.

>> I did send them the WWN and they have disk space presented to the server now. They said they checked the zoning and all was good. They keep telling me it is my problem but there are no scsi errors in syslog, I have run insf -e, I have rebooted, the kernel shows stape as static...
