Solaris operating systems
Rescan might take 6-8 minutes, depending on the numbers of host adapters and devices attached.
The known scan limitations: SCSI ID 0-255, LUN 0-10.
If the IBM® Tape Device Driver
is not installed on Solaris 10, tape devices might not be found during
scan although they are configured in
sgen.conf
. When
this event occurs, complete the following steps to configure the devices:- Check the current driver bindings for IBM tape drives and changers by entering the
following commands:
# egrep "scsiclass,01" /etc/driver_aliases (for drives) # egrep "scsiclass,08" /etc/driver_aliases (for changers)
- Modify the
/etc/driver_alias
file to comment all lines not starting with sgen and containing identification of your drives and changers. Examples:#st "scsiclass,01" (all tape drives) #st "scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-TD4" (IBM tape drive model ULT3580-TD4) #st "scsiclass,08" (all changers) #st "scsiclass,08.vIBM.p3573-TL" (IBM changer model 3573-TL)
- Check that the configured drives are not configured for st driver
by entering the following command:
# cfgadm -al
If the tape drive is claimed by st device driver, an entry with cxx:rmt/y, is displayed, for example:c11::rmt/0 tape connected configured unknown
- Add sgen driver aliases with one of the following commands:
# update_drv -a -i '"scsiclass,01.vIBM.pULT3580-HH4"' sgen (adds sgen alias for IBM drive, model ULT3580-HH4) # update_drv -a -i '"scsiclass,01"' sgen (adds sgen alias for all drives attached to the system) # update_drv -a -i '"scsiclass,08.vIBM.pULT3581-TA2"' sgen (adds sgen alias for IBM changer, model ULT3581-TA2) # update_drv -a -i '"scsiclass,08"' sgen (adds sgen alias for all changers attached to the system)
- Check that the drives and changers are now configured with the
following command:
# cfgadm -al
- If the drives or changers are not listed in the output of
'cfgadm -al'
, reboot the system and verify the list of configured devices with the command:# cfgadm -al
