Invisible Library Tape Drive

Hi Managers,

 

I have a couple of V880s connected via fibre (jni 6410) to a tape library
(STK L40). We recently had a new tape drive put in the library, I made sure
st.conf had the relevant LUNs and targets along with sg.conf. And also made
sure the HBAs can see them. Through the ezfibre utility, I could see the
drive.

 

Ran the following sequence of commands

 

devfsadm -i sg

devlinks

 

And finally did a boot -- -r

 

But when I checked whether the drive was visible or not through sgscan, I
was not able to see the drive. Unfortunately this problem is holding our
backups inordinately. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Kumar
