Thanks Terry;
In the meanwhile, does anyone have any home grown documentation (or
guidelines) on how to use udev for this purpose?
Hi Stan,
does http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7316 help you?
This looks interesting. I just got off the phone with James Kernaghan
from EMC's tech support who explained the situation to me. To make a
fairly long story short, it is a known problem with Windows
installations that jbconfig doesn't set up tape libraries properly
with regard to persistent binding. This problem also occurs with
Linux, esp. the 2.6 kernel, but EMC's awareness of that situation
hasn't been as long-standing as with Windows. With Linux, jbconfig
needs to be updated to use udev, but that change is in the offing.
As far as my situation is concerned, it turns out that my initial
assumption of deleting the tape library resource and tape drives, then
using jbconfig to recreate them on the storage node was right. I need
to do this each time I reboot, but for me, since I am using a very
simple configuration, it takes all of five minutes to do, so I will go
with that option instead of spending hours trying to coax udev into
getting NSR to play nicely with my hardware.
