HI all,

If you look at the screen shot it shows
"stape NO_HW" under "Driver S/W State"

Do you think the hardware gone bad.

I have followed every thing on HP Documentation.

I am waiting to fix this so that I can create bootable backup of the server using make_recovery.

Please note that its application and Oracle DB server running with Service Guard Cluster.

Hi All,

Do you think the SCSI ID needs to be changed.

KR

[Jollyjet]

Hi Your hardware state was not claimed you need to change the kernel parameters.

goto sam--> kernel configurations and stape -->check the current state and pending state change it to in in and exit sam and run insf -e and check it out.

[Jollyjet]

Hey Im sorry I din't watch the first screen shot you can change your scsi cables and you can check it. If not connect the tape drive to other server's and check whether the tape drive is in working status.

[Torsten.]

I guess you have connected the drive to an unsupported controller, lease run

# model

and post the result.

[yassyboy]

Hi All,

Please see attached screen shots of model output and SAM.

The Tape Drive is installed on the Tape Array 5300

HI

I went to http://www.hp.com/products1/storage/compatibility/tapebackup/PA-RISC/index.html

and it shows the tape array is supported with the server.
