I got my HIARC jb driver working just fine. You need to know your SCSI
target of your robotic device is on and edit "/kernel/drv/jb.conf" and
comment in the correct target so that the jb device get loaded properly.
Make sure you comment out everything in sst.conf and sgen.conf and then
reboot the system.
You should see a new device being loaded during the boot process.
You should see the following message in your /var/adm/message:
Dec 5 12:16:25 marge scsi: [ID 193665 kern.info] jb0 at adp0: target 1 lun
0
Dec 5 12:16:25 marge genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] jb0 is
/pci@0,0/pci9004,788 4@d/jb@1,0
That will show you that the driver was loaded properly.
In order for jbstatus and movejb to work, you need to install a license key
in /etc/hiarcjb.passwd file. You will need to recieve a temporary key from
hiarc through their website. You will also need to supply hostid to them
in order to get the key. I'm assuming that you've already done that part.
However where to put the key in was not documented and I had to figure it
out for a while by running truss command and it showed that it was trying
to open /etc/hiarcjb.passwd file. So I put the license key in there and it
worked.
Don't use chg-scsi with jb driver, it does not work at all. Use the
supplied movejb and jbstatus commands. Get the chg-hiarcjb script from
me. I will email it to you if you want. But first, get your jb driver
enabled and working and run the jbstatus command and it will show you the
output. If it works then you got the driver installed properly. Here's
what my statusjb looks like:
[josh@marge drv]% jbstatus
Mode Sense: status 0
Medium Transports 86 - 86
Storage Slots 1 - 7
Import/Export Slots 0 - -1
Data Transfer Elements 82 - 82
MTE
ElemAddr 86
SE
ElemAddr 1 Full Access OK SrcAddr 1
ElemAddr 2 Full Access OK SrcAddr 2
ElemAddr 3 Full Access OK SrcAddr 3
ElemAddr 4 Full Access OK SrcAddr 4
ElemAddr 5 Full Access OK SrcAddr 5
ElemAddr 6 Full Access OK SrcAddr 6
ElemAddr 7 Full Access OK SrcAddr 7
DTE
ElemAddr 82 Access OK SCSI 3
You'll probably want to set a suid on movejb and jbstatus so that amanda
can access to the robotic device without any problems.
[josh@marge drv]% ls -l /opt/HIARCjb/bin
total 1284
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Oct 31 17:03 ./

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.
