: Tape Decive is claimed as you can see.
But there is no such or device after issued command . i cannot understand this situation.

I tried something to solve this ploblem.

1. regenerate devie file with rmsf , insf
2. changed SCSI ID from 4 to 5
3. changed tape device


Isn't there anything else ?

Plz advice me ~!

Thanks in advance

If you look at your second ioscan ouput, you will notice that the device is in a NO_HW state. This means that the device is not accessible for some reason.

You need to investigate your tape drive and verify it really is working.

[Fabian Briseño]

I agree with patrick your second output states taht stape is in a NO_HW state.

Check you syslog.log file to see more info or run dmesg.

Hi John_cho,

Good Morning...

I have gone through your mail. As per my knowledge its may be H/W issue. Below the guide line you follow:

1. Power off tape device.
2. Unplug SCSI cable and replace SCSI cable from systems to tape device.
3. Check the SCSI cable pine is break or not.
4. Tape device power up.
5. Logging the systems as a root user...
# ioscan
# ioscan -fnC tape
# make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00

I think it will help full to you.

Thansk-Yaqub.
