Followup information regarding our problem with L280 disk changer and amanda

2001-02-02 Thread ABEDINI Annadiana T

I was asked for some additional information regarding the configuration of
the system

System configuration:
Sun E450
Solaris 7
StorEdge L280 tape drive
Amanda 2.4.2

As I said in my previous message, we have been using the L280 with NetBackup
for several months, but have decided that it isn't the right solution for
our backup needs.

After reading through the README file in the amanda/contrib/sst
I downloaded the drivers that were provided by John the beginning of this
month and installed the 32 bit version in /usr/kernel/drv
I copied the sst.conf from the amanda/contrib/sst directory and changed the
target number of the device to 6 so thta it matches our /dev/sg device
number (/dev/sg/c3t6l0)
I did 
add_drv sst
and it said that the device was added but not attached

I also added 
type=ddi_pseudo;name=sst;minor=0rsst\A1

to the /etc/devlink.tab file

we did an init 0
and then boot -r

the devices were not built in /dev  and we have been unable to figure out
why
I have also tried to use the  /dev/sg/c3t6l0 device directly, but have had
no success...

thank you again for any help you can give.!

all because of blank lines!

Hello!
Thank you to those who responded to me so quickly!

After having it confirmed that either notation (c0t0d0s6 or /usr) *should*
work, I went back and did some experimentation and found that amanda refused
to work because I had blank lines after the lines that specified the disk!

Anyway, thank you again for your help!!
