Hi, I've not been able to get solaris to detect a tape drive. The drive is an HP Ultrium 920 plugged into an external SCSI port on an HP DL380. When connected the BIOS shows that it has discovered the tape drive on channel 9.
I've run devfsadm and tapes, but I still get nothing in /dev/rmt. If I run devfsadm -i st I get the following message: "devfsadm: driver failed to attach: st" This is my st.conf file: name="st" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=2 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=3 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=5 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=6 lun=0; name="st" class="scsi" target=9 lun=0; Output of modinfo | grep SCSI: 21 fead8250 dbcc 174 1 scsi_vhci (SCSI VHCI Driver 1.67) 22 feae5cec e858 - 1 scsi (SCSI Bus Utility Routines) 39 feb4226c 1dac0 27 1 sd (SCSI Disk Driver 1.564) 164 f7f7b000 233d8 65 1 iscsi (iSCSI Initiator v20071030-1.52) 175 f7e91000 14aa8 129 1 st (SCSI tape Driver 1.269) I notice that in /var/adm/messages theres no reference to any scsi device with target=9, but there are references to 7 other devices (6 harddrives and the cdrom drive) with targets 0 to 7. The tape drive works under OSX (and the BIOS can see it). I've seen many references to probe-scsi-all command from the ok prompt, but I don't know how to get to the ok prompt. If I type "sync; sync; init 0" as suggested it just comes up with a message "Press any key to reboot" I don't really know where to go from here This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
