Are you using persistent bindings on you SunV490. Are you using a san
switch to zone your three physical LTOIII to the SUN490. Why the L8500
with only three drives. This is a large enterprise silo which needs
ACSLS to control. Anyway I would use persistent bindings to your HBA.
Once done you should see only three devices in /dev/rmt. I would have
three HBA and zone one drive to each. No more then two LTOIII on a
single HBA. Once you have rebooted your backup server do the following:
Mount a tape via acsls to one drive. When done type in the following
command:
Mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn status
Figure out what physical drive address maps to what cbn.
I.E 0,3,1,0 maps to /dev/rmt/0cbn.
You need to know this before you build your jukebox.
Below is an example of how I start ssi and mini_el. I do this from a
separate startup script located in /etc/rc2.d. Start these processes
prior to networker starting on reboot.
#!/bin/sh
# Last Modified: 08/21/02

Subject: [Networker] setup for networker w/ACSLS
environment: Sun V490, Solaris 10, Networker 7.2.2/(the December
jumbo patch from the web site). tape library is a Storagetek L8500
with 3 LTO 3 drives, controlled from ACSLS 7.1 on a Sun V240 running
Solaris 10.
this represents a 'forklift' upgrade of our old system; all the
hardware and software is being upgraded. i'm treating this as a new
install, especially since there are concepts (ACSLS, for example) that
are completely new to me.
sun/storagetek installed ACSLS on its machine last month. last week
i installed networker on the v490. the documentation on how to get
networker to talk to ACSLS is a little, um, sketchy, but i managed to
convince myself that i should do:
CSI_HOSTNAME=acsls01; export CSI_HOSTNAME
SSI_HOSTNAME=backup01; export SSI_HOSTNAME
/usr/sbin/mini_el &
/usr/sbin/ssi &
and then configure the library with jbconfig. this was reasonably
successful; i received no errors. and i was able to allocate a tape
via:
nsrjb -a -T 100000
and even label it via:
nsrjb -v -L -T 100000
repeat a few more times and i managed to get the following out
of nsrjb:
Jukebox stk0:
slot volume pool barcode volume id recyclable
1: 100000 Default 100000 4114150104 no
2: 100001 Default 100001 4097373200 no
3: 100002 Default 100002 4080596587 no
4: 100003 Default 100003 4063819711 no
5: 100004 Default 100004 4047101402 no
6: 100005 Default 100005 4030326422 no
7: 100006 Default 100006 4013549547 no
drive 1 (/dev/rmt/0cbn) slot :
drive 2 (/dev/rmt/1cbn) slot 2: 100001 (mounted)
drive 3 (/dev/rmt/2cbn) slot :
i was feeling positively ecstatic at having this much luck
and decided to try a backup. i created a group for the server
to back itself up in and kicked the group off.
ultimately, it seemed to work fine. i've done a few tests and so far
things look fine; the only problems encountered having been the
mapping between the unix device names (/dev/rmt/0cbn) and the
StorageTek ones (0, 3, 1, 0).
i'm in the process of loading in my clients from the old server,
running more tests and getting license keys moved to the new
system. but my question is:
is there anything glaringly obvious that i'm missing? are there
any upcoming 'gotchas' that i should know about?
thanks in advance.
