Hi,
I was able to scan through every device file and found for files
that actually responded it has a tape drive, which are;
babu# mt -f /dev/rmt/15 status
/dev/rmt/15: no tape loaded or drive offline
babu# mt -f /dev/rmt/14 status
/dev/rmt/14: no tape loaded or drive offline
babu# mt -f /dev/rmt/13 status
/dev/rmt/13: no tape loaded or drive offline
babu# mt -f /dev/rmt/12 status
/dev/rmt/12: no tape loaded or drive offline
Then I added four drives using these files for no rewind files:
Drive0 -> /dev/rmt/15cbn
Drive1 -> /dev/rmt/14cbn
Drive2 -> /dev/rmt/13cbn
Drive3 -> /dev/rmt/12cbn
The drive now stays up but when I initiated a job then it goes
down as soon as the picker inserts the tape. It just can't seem to write
to it.
Also, I ran the robtest and this is what I get.
Configured robots with local control supporting test utilities:
TLD(0) robotic path = /dev/sg/c2t0l0
Robot Selection
---------------
1) TLD 0
2) none/quit
Enter choice: 1
Robot selected: TLD(0) robotic path = /dev/sg/c2t0l0
Invoking robotic test utility:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tldtest -r /dev/sg/c2t0l0 -d1 /dev/rmt/12cbn -d2
/dev/rmt/13cbn -d3 /dev/rmt/14cbn -d4 /dev/rmt/15cbn
Opening /dev/sg/c2t0l0
mode_sense failed, CHECK CONDITION
sense key = 0x2, asc = 0x4, ascq = 0x3, LU IS NOT READY, MANUAL
INTERVENTION REQ'D
Enter tld commands (? returns help information)
Now, I have no clue why its failing, any suggestions or ideas
would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
