hi all,
after installing tapeutil and atdd for HPUX i must detect serial numbers
for
tape devices, after starting tapeutil and opening device /dev/rmt/1mnb
i get
Device /dev/rmt/1mnb opened.
INQUIRY rc 22 (Invalid argument)
The IOC_REQUEST_SENSE ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Failure obtaining device PID
ioscan returns for one tape
tape 2 0/10/0/0.1.18.255.12.9.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE IBM
ULT3580-TD1
/dev/rmt/2m /dev/rmt/2mnb
/dev/rmt/c28t9d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/2mb /dev/rmt/c28t9d0BEST
/dev/rmt/c28t9d0BESTnb
/dev/rmt/2mn /dev/rmt/c28t9d0BESTb
i'm confused about STAPE parameter, on test platform which did ok i get
tape 1 0/5/0/0.5.17.255.12.12.0 atdd CLAIMED DEVICE IBM
ULT3580-TD1
/dev/rmt/1m /dev/rmt/1mnb
/dev/rmt/c3t12d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/1mb /dev/rmt/c3t12d0BEST
/dev/rmt/c3t12d0BESTnb
/dev/rmt/1mn /dev/rmt/c3t12d0BESTb
ATDD worked fine
during installation the production server hanged and we needed a reboot !
how to get rid of loaded STAPE driver (i asume it's a driver) and make it
use atdd (if installed correctly)
#dmesg returns among other stuff this ...
atdd: load() called
atdd: Class is tape
atdd: control init!
atdd: Load complete!
storage agent is version 5.3.1.5
server is 5.3.1.5
the communication works fine
here is a tapeutil tryout

i asume that atdd didn't after all install/load correctly, what do you
think
?
another thing on test machine command
# /opt/atdd/bin/atdd_cfg -g DEVICES
DEVICES: 6
it gives 6 which is okay ... but on new machine
--> /opt/atdd/bin/atdd_cfg -g DEVICES
Error opening Configuration file /dev/rmt/atdd.cfg: rc=-1, errno=2
it seems that atdd configuration is broken ...
what to do ? remove it then reinstall ? how will device recognize that they
need atdd ?
does insf -e has options for defining which drivers shoud tape devices use
?
sooo many questions, so little answers on these holidays ... :-|
sorry for long post but i really need help,
thanks for any clue
goran
merry xmas and happy new year
