Configuration of StorageWorks with unix
How do you do this? Do you need to install unix drivers? I didn't see any on the package, it just have Windows 2000/NT drivers, even in the Compaq website.
Thanks.

Re: Configuration of StorageWorks with unix
Treat it as a tape drive(s) - it's not anything special. Your backup software should recognize and be able to use the robotics.
My solaris is a little rusty, but as I recall there are several config files that may need modification... /kernel/drv/st.conf comes to mind. (to define what targets/luns can be tapes) If you're using Fibre Channel, you may have others, such as jni.conf, in that same directory. There was also a file that defines tape drive capabilities (I think it was in /etc) by identification string - it defines capacity, and other such capabilities.
You probably want to look in your Solaris manuals for more details.
Good luck,
Vince

Re: Configuration of StorageWorks with unix
You don't tell us what backup software you're using. Some products include their own drivers.
If you've successfully attached the device to your server, you should see some entries using the probe-scsi-all command from the ok prompt at the firmware level. Do a "boot -- -r" and Solaris will create a device for the tape drive under /dev/rmt, eg /dev/rmt/0m.
If you just want to use standard Unix utilities, you'll also discover that Solaris doesn't have any built-in support for robotic tape libraries.
You can get a GPL utility from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtx.
This works well with the Solaris sgen driver.
Let us know if you have any more questions and tell us a little more about your environment.
