I've added a HVD DLT8000 to a F/C-SCSI router which is connected to our SAN. I have it working but am curious about the setup. What I've done is add the WWPN of the F/C-SCSI router via the config.sh script from the ACS 8.6 platform kit. The script adds the entries to sd.conf. I also modified st.conf. I reboot and the device files are created and everything is just dandy. My question is is the WWPN of the F/C-SCSI router supposed to be in sd.conf (which is for scsi disks)? If I remove it from sd.conf, will I lose access to the tape drive? BTW, the OS I'm running is Solaris 8. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Adding Tape Drive to SAN via F/C Routers
You did not mention, what kind of HBA's are you using? Qlogic's aor JNIs on your Solaris server?

Re: Adding Tape Drive to SAN via F/C Routers
On my Loop and Fabric connected JNI's, I never have added WWPN's to my conf file. Instead I have:
def_hba_binding = "fcaw*";
def_wwpn_binding = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
def_wwnn_binding = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
My sd.conf and st.conf contains the b.t.l entries for the LUN's expected on the SAN and/or zoned to a server..

Re: Adding Tape Drive to SAN via F/C Routers
name="st" class="scsi" target=8 lun=0;
Would I just append the wwpn tag to an entry in st.conf to point to the router's wwpn as below?
name="st" class="scsi" target=8 lun=0
wwpn="1234-1234-1234-1234";

SolutionAs long as your fcaw.conf is configured to do hba binding and you're not doing any static bindings, you should be set.
I attach a configuration on a server that has 4 JNI HBA's on Loop (pnt to Pnt) and one HBA connected Fabric wise.
My st.conf and sd.conf only contains B.T.L entries and no wwpn entries...
