Device Not Configured errors

2004-08-15 Thread Tim Luttman
 

I have installed Amanda on a FreeBSD 5.2 box and I want to setup Amanda
using an HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1/8 autoloader. When I run camcontrol
devlist I can see the unit:

HP ThinStor AutoLdr H43r at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (ch0,pass1)
HP Ultrium 1-SCSI E33P at scbus1 target 5 lun 0 (sa0,pass2)

But when I run mtx -f /dev/sa0 inquiry to test the loader I get the
following: 

cannot open SCSI device '/dev/sa0' - Device not configured.  The tape unit
is powered and all slots have been loaded with tapes.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

DLT device not configured errors

2004-07-28 Thread up

A few months ago I brought up a new server using an Adaptec 2200S RAID
card, and it's been running fine with a RAID 1 array on channel 0.  Today
I tried to move the DLT (Quantum 4000) over to this server to make it the
amanda server, so I plugged it into the controller's external port for
channel 1.  When I do, neither amanda or mt will see the device, I get:

mt: /dev/nsa0: Device not configured

I tried rebooting (production box, but it had to be tried) and the Adaptec
BIOS correctly recognized the device, but I still got that error.  I tried
moving the SCSI cable to the channel 0 port, but that caused serious
panics and an ugly fscking power-cycle.  Since the disk array is on that
channel, I won't try that again.  Back to channel 1.  Power cycling the
tape drive repeatedly throughout this had no effect.  I even did a sh
MAKEDEV sa1, thinking that maybe the 0 in sa0 might have had
something to do with the channel ID. No dice.

I'm all out of ideas, and would appreciate if anyone could spare a clue.

This could mean that there's no tape in the drive.  Does camcontrol
devlist see the drive?  Also make sure you have the aacp device in the
kernel; that allows non-disk devices to pass through the raid controller and
be seen by FreeBSD.

I should have added: camcontrol doesn't see *any* devices, including the
disks (and a rescan does nothing either).  I did not have the aacp option
enabled, so I will also try that.

It does not appear that any kernel options are neccessary for camcontrol
to work, as it works in all my older (4.9 and earlier) versions with
virtually the same kernel options as in this box (4.10)

The aacp device did the trick, for both the drive and camcontrol.
