Hi all!
I'm doing tests with a brand new HP Storageworks 1/8 G2 I plan to use
with Bacula on Debian GNU/Linux Lenny.
The tape autoloader is connected to a PC through an HP Smart Array P212
card. It is HP's entry level PCI Express Serial Attached SCSI RAID
controller.
In these initial tests I intend to make the autoloader and the drive to
recognize commands sent using mtx and mt, respectively.
However, in the operating system I'm only seeing the tape drive, but not
the autochanger:
backup:~# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3160211AS Rev: 3.AA
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
But I'm not seeing a /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 device.
When I was installing Debian, the installer found a device /dev/cciss in
which the storage volume could not be determined. By canceling this, the
installation continued normally installing the OS on a SATA disk.
After it has finished installing the operating system and booted it, I
noticed the following error message in the front panel display:
ERR: 0:8D 14 00 (Related to the message "mechanical block")
I've seen in other previous installation with a internal HP RAID
controller the same type of message (unable to recognize the volume of
the storage device) because of not being created any locagicaldrive, so
maybe the problem was observed for the installation of Debian is due to
a lack of controller settings, although I'm not sure what that should be
configured on the controller to work with an autoloader (regardless of
whether the installation of Debian is not made in a cciss device).
The inability to detect the autochanger, the error shown in the display,
and the fact could not find a device for the tape drive may be due to a
lack of configuration of the SAS RAID controller?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards,
Daniel
