Unclaimed Devices in ioscan output

[panks]

Hi All,

I have newly configured RX8640 box. Netback up person attached netbackup libraray on HBA to server. When we are checking for the tape drives, is is showing correctly those 12 tape drives in tape library but showing as UNCLAIMED.
unknown -1 0/0/6/1/1.102.13.255.0.0.0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN IBM ULT3580-TD3

What can we do to make it available.
Above is the output from ioscan -f

Thanks

IBM drives generally require the "atdd" driver, which isn't part of the std. distribution.

If you haven't already got it, check here:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/HPUX/11i_PCI/

install, add to kernal and rescan

Thanks for the reply.
My OS version is 11v2.
So in the path you provided under 11v2 there are 2 binary files atdd.5.5.0.84.bin and atdd.5.6.0.84.bin.
Which one should I install, the 5.6 one or its specific to IBM tape drives.
I have IBM ULT3580-TD2 and IBM ULT3580-TD3 attached.

Any suggestion.

One of two things come to mind.

1) these files are NOT for HPUX

2) there should be some installation procudures for HPUX. Typically HPUX appilcations and drivers would come in a .depot type of file. One that you could user swinstall in order to install.

UNCLAIMED and UNKNOWN is as you know a lack of driver for this type of device in the kernel. Do you at least have an stape driver in your kernel ? kcmodule|grep stape and is it enabled ?

The stape driver would allow you to use the device if it supports it but probably not the robotics, etc.. Do some searching on google for IBM ULT350 driver for HPUX.

actually, they are hpux files....

you will need to determine which one applies, and review atdd.Readme, README...
you will probably need InstallAtdd and some of the tapeutil stuff as well.
