VTL not identified

[Andrew medhurst1]

guys i have just had an HP eml e series VTL presented to my backup server and it is unclaimed.
i have added the STAPE drivers and module into the kernel and rebooted and still it is unclaimed.
any ideas is there a specific driver i need or am i missing some thing.
regards

Hi Andrew,

I assume the tape drives are CLAIMED now, but the change is not.

You need to configure the "schgr" driver into the kernel.

[Andrew medhurst1]

no drive still unclaimed ???#
and not familiar with other module, what is its responsability

[Torsten.]

schgr is the driver for the robotics, can you post the result of this please:

# ioscan -fn

[smatador]

Hi,
If you see on the ioscan that the vtl is unknow as we suspect go to
SAM
kernel configuration
driver select and actions add driver schgr
finally process new kernel
reboot
Hope it helps

[Andrew medhurst1]

already done this and it can now see the robot but not a seperate stape drive.

I cannot see it too, because there is ioscan attached.

;-)


Did you adjust your library configuration, e.g. library partitions presented to this server?

[Andrew medhurst1]

sorry torsten but i cannot get data between external facing lan and internal.
sorry not san guy so can you be more specific about library question.
regards

[Torsten.]

Similar to a disk array you can devide the library into several virtual libraries and present the robot and/or certain drives to a specific host.

Nothing presented = nothing visible.

thanks for the reply's i have assigned points, i will leave thread open for a few days as san guy on a couple of well earned days leave.
but i still have issue which i think is san side as i can see robot now but no drives and apparently i should see 4 stape drives, i have nothing unclaimed so must be his end.
regards
Andrew
