Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
Can you please use L&TT to pull a support ticket from the drive and post it here zipped? That may have some tips that will help explain the ID's.
As another poster has already said we need more details about the computer and HBA you are using to provide any tips on verifying LUN scanning.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
The drive is attached to a SmartArray controller. The SmartArray and most other array controllers do not support LUN mode and can't be used with an MSL2024.
In general use of an array controller with a tape device is not recommended.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
I am so confused I can not understand so well the Smart Array concept because if I am right all Proliant servers works with this concept for their internal disks and if MSL2024 can not work with Smart arrays what kind of servers I can use :( ?
Thanks in advance,
vianey

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
The MSL 2024 must be connected to a general purpose SCSI controller.
According to the L&TT support ticket the installed SCSI drivers are:
HP Autopath driver
HP/Compaq SmartArray Controller
Emulex Light Pulse MiniPort
None of those will support a parallel SCSI MSL2024 tape libary. The library is currently connected to a SmartArray controller which can communicate with a tape drive but can not communicate with the tape library.
The EBS matrix at http://www.hp.com/go/ebs on page 30 lists the approved HP HBA's for parallel SCSI products and the ones recommended for an LTO-2 MSL 2024 connected to a Windows server are:
268351-B21 Ultra320, LVD, Dual Channel, VHDCI
374654-B21 Ultra320, LVD, Single Channel, VHDCI
284688-B21 Ultra160, LVD, Dual Channel, VHDCI
C7474A Ultra160, LVD, Single Channel, VHDCI
Page 32 lists the 3rd party HBA's that are supported.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
The array controller has a Compaq Logical Volume listed at address 4 so that address is not available for the library. I suspect that the array controller automatically created a virtual device when it saw a device connected at ID 4 but it made the raw device available at ID 5.
The array controller makes the drive available to the OS at SCSI ID 5 even though it actually is configured to use ID 4. The drive is configured correctly.

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
We change the card by model U160/LVD and by U320 SCSI LVP/SE, we restart the server and MSL2024 library and L&TT not recognize the library.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot!

Re: MSL2024 Tape Library
Are you saying that you installed a supported HBA?
With the library connected to the new HBA is anything found during boot?
Which HBA are you using?
Which driver version?
How is the library connected to the HBA? Cable length, how many devices, were is the termination?
Please attach an L&TT support ticket with the library connected to the new HBA if you are having problems communicating with the library.
