library not seem under hpux

[MMC_2]

Hi,

I have a DLT library (SureStore Tape Autoloader 1/9 series) that is attached to a hpux server (B.11.00 9000/800/L3000-5x) through a narrow/wide scsi cable. When you run an ioscan -f you can see the scsi connection but no library. We have all the drivers required on the OS but still no library.

Ioscan output:
ext_bus 0 0/0/1/0 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C896 Ultra Wide Differential
target 0 0/0/1/0.7 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE
ctl 0 0/0/1/0.7.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator

Does anyone know how to get the library seen on the OS?

Thanks,
MMC

Hi,

if I remember right, there were different models of this box - a HVD and a LVD version.

Of course you cannot connect a HVD model to a LVD HBA and vice versa.

Have a look at the backside - on the library controller card and on the drive you should see a label: HVD or LVD.

For your HBA it must be LVD.

Hi - thanks for the reply.

The library is HVD so that is why it doesn't work.
Do you know of any servers that would work that HVD library?

Thanks,

Your server can work with the library, but you need a HVD HBA!

One example is the A4800A, AFAIR:
