[Networker] Question regarding DDS and storage nodes

Hi,

We currently have a 7.1 server running on Solaris 8. It has twojukeboxes - a Quantum M1500 with 2 x SDLT220 drives, SCSI connected, andan Overland NEO2000 with 2 x SDLT600 drives, Fibre connected.

We have 2 DDS licenses and a Dedicated storage node license. What Iwant to do is configure a linux server to be a dedicated storage nodeand back itself up to the SDLT600 drives via DDS.

I plan to use DDS on the Fibre tape drives to the Linux server so theserver can back itself up directly over fibre to the tape drives.

From my reading of the administration guide, I need to reconfigure myNEO2000 jukebox to allow for drive sharing. To do this I run jbconfigon the solaris server and enter multiple paths to the drives. Is thiscorrect?

If so, I'm not 100% sure about what I put for the paths. At the moment,the paths I have on Solaris are /dev/rmt/3cbn and /dev/rmt/4cbn - so I'massuming I need to put those in again for Solaris to see the drives.But I'm not sure what path I need to put for the linux server to seethem. I'm guessing its something like linux:/path/to/drive, but theproblem is that the linux server only sees the autochanger device(/dev/sg3), but not the SDLT600 drives.


If anyone can give me any advice it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick
