        Well, 

If you're sure that you st.conf is correct, then maybe you can mount a tape
in a drive with robtest and test it with a tar or dd command ?

Maybe there a confusion in the order of your drives. 

That's all I can do for you !

Sorry for the long delay in my response, here it goes: 
  
Nb is patched to 34_2 
  
st.conf is correct on both solaris boxes, sgscan can see the drives as well.


  
The swithes are Mcdata 32 and 64 ports, the clients are actually hooked into

connectrix 32 port, but for the SDLT, it goes through a crossroads 3250 
bridge 
  
HBA: on the 2.8 box, Emulex LP800 4.2k 
         on the 2.6 box, JNI:FCI-1063 2.5.9

        Hi Kevin, 

Have you installed all necessary patches from SUN&Veritas ?? 
Have you set up the solaris's st.conf file ?? 
What kind of switch do you use ?? 
What kind of HBA, firmware ?? 

Fabrice

Guru's, 


I'm having trouble getting SSO backups to work on Solaris machines with 
tapes on the SAN. Here's the setup: 


One Unix Master Server, attached to STK L700 
Two Solaris media servers 2.8 and 2.6 
Win2k Media server. 

The Win2k server backups up fine he can see an SDLT drive and a 9940 on the 
SAN. The 2.6 machine sees 2 SDLT drives on the SAN. The 2.8 machine sees a 
9940 Driver on the SAN. When I try to run the backup it gets to a point 
where it tries to mount the tape and puts the tape in the drive, but after 
that , nothing. Anyone have any ideas? 

Kevin Vapiwala
