ioscan -fnC tape unable to show attached tape drives

[snik]

Dear All,

I m not able to see tape drives attache to HP box HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 by using command

ioscan -fnC tape


We want to configure Backup library for production system. But server is not able to detect tape drives attached through SAN switch.

As we know all zoning is proper and also another HP box with same server config as production server is able to detect tape drives through SAN.

So I want to know how can we go ahead .

Please help me in this regards if you can.

Regards

Santosh nikam

Shalom,

Then I conclude the following:
1) Its not attached (properly).
2) Its powered down.
3) There is a scsi conflict preventing it from being seen.
4) There is a cable or termination failure.

Try:
insf -C disk
insf -C tape (don't worry if this one doesn't work I'm curious)
insf -e

A regular ioscan
See if the little bugger shows up.

Do you have the stape driver in the kernel?

What is the output of kmsystem -q stape?

thanks for prompt reply.

But this is not working as I already tried this commands.

Anything else except reboot?
