Re: [Networker] persistent binding for autochanger
2007-05-06 07:22:25
If you get the line from /etc/path_to_inst, the HBA number will be the
qla driver instance number i.e
"<path>" <instance> "<driver>"
The target is whatever you want to set it to - normally start at 0 and
count up from there. I havent used the qla driver before (I find the
Leadville based Sun drivers far more useable) but you might also need to
bind any other targets on that WWN - some drivers disable auto-discovery
if you enable persistant binding.

Hi,
I'm trying to persistently bind an auto changer connected to my server over
fiber. the reason I wanna to that because every time I reboot my server the OS
gives a different SCSI address (see below) which causes problems with Legato
Networker (the backup Application) and I have to reconfigure the jukebox all
over again which is a pain in the ass. the closest I got to solve this problem
is by persistent binding on the HBA level. to do that I need to compile a line
and put it in the qla.conf the syntax if this line as follows:
hba<#>-SCSI-target-id-<#>-fibre-channel-port-name="<device WWPN>";
I got the hba # from /etc/path_to_inst and the device WWPN from the command
inquire but I couldn't get the SCS-target-id.
Could somebody help me to get the SCSI-target-id? or suggest a solution for
this problem.
Thanks
