Hi!
How to find out what are the model of tape drives connected
to a SUN system?? is there a command(s) equivalent to "ioscan -
nkfC tape" of hpux ?
I need to configure tape drives for backup on couple of sun
systems (e4500) and my first step is to figure out whether
there are any DLT7000 tape drives connected to the system. How
do i do this, without physically checking the cables and
tracing them? In HP, the ioscan command lists the tape
devices, their paths and the model information.
I checked the following two commands :
#prtconf |grep "st," |grep -v not
st, instance #269
st, instance #268
->> does this mean that there are two tape drives connected
to the system?
# grep "269" /etc/path_to_inst |grep st
"/sbus@7,0/fce@0,400000/st@0,1" 269 "st"
#ls -l /dev/rmt/*ub |grep "fce@0,400000/st@0,1"
/dev/rmt/3ub
So, with the above 3 commands, i find that /dev/rmt/3ub is a
tape drive connected to the system. How do i find out what type
or model of drive it is?? Is it a DLT, a dat drive ?
Is there any easier way to do this all in one script/command?
thanks for the help.
