entry for the tape library picker

[andi_1]

Hi guys,

Unfortunately, my system doesn't have tape library picker attached, so what should I grep for when I am looking for the devices that correspond to the library picker?

ioscan -fH 8/4?

Thank you.

Hi Leon,

You should grep for "rac" or "schgr" in the ioscan output.

You ioscan output may not be showing the picker because you do not have the changer "schgr" configured into the kernel. Take a look and if not configured , configure "schgr" driver into the kernel. Reboot the system and then do a ioscan.

Hope this helps.

Hi Leon


Do a ioscan -fn | grep rac ,


to get something like /dev/rac/cxtydz

Sometimes it's more difficult. You may be using the SCSI pass-thru driver rather the the
autochanger driver. You need to also look for sctl or spt or spt0 devices.

Hi Leon,

As clay suggested, add the spt and spt0 driver in the kernel.

Hope this helps.
