Thanks Jeff, will give this all a try and come back to you! I am kind of
hoping the Unix gurus have done some of this already :-)

Just putting the drives in wouldn't make them available to the OS (HP-UX).
You can cheat and simply reboot the HP-UX host or you can do insf -e to make
it install the devices.

 

"ioscan -fn" will show you the hardware your HP-UX sees.  Make sure the
drives don't show as "UNCLAIMED"

 

Also make sure you're using the "no rewind" devices.  When HP-UX adds tape
drives it created device files for each of the characteristics of the drive.
The one linked to BEST is the best density and the "n" at the end of name
signifies no rewind.

Hi

Not familiar with Unix, but got a Robotic Library that recently had 2 new
tape drives installed and I configured using the NBU Device Wizard.

NBU sees the devices all ok - set the storage unit for 2 drives and kicked
off a full backup.

 

Enabled BPTM Logging. I keep getting status 84 and the output of the log
shows.....

I have the PDF for Status 84 errors, and tried these steps, but still fail.
As these drives are replacements, I am wondering if the errors seen above
have any reflection on this. Importantly, I am unsure why it keeps downing
the drives and what MTWEOF is - something to do with end of file!

 

Any advice is really appreciated or pointers is appreciated. Also, does Unix
HPUX need drivers just like Windows??

Thank you
