Dear Managers,
I have a problem with a tape robot on my system, and I'd appreciate
some help!
I have a Tru64 5.1 pk3 cluster (ES40 + DS20) and have recently added an
MSL5000 tape library with twp DSLT320 drives. This attaches via FC,
and I believe that the zoning has been set up correctly:
The system can see all the devices:
beta # hwmgr view d
HWID: Device Name Mfg Model Location
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<stuff deleted>
226: /dev/ntape/tape4 COMPAQ SDLT320 bus-1-targ-0-lun-2
227: /dev/changer/mc2 MSL5000 Series bus-1-targ-0-lun-0
228: /dev/ntape/tape5 COMPAQ SDLT320 bus-1-targ-0-lun-1
and I seem to be able to talk to the tape drives OK:
beta # mt -f /dev/tape/tape4 status
DEVIOGET ELEMENT CONTENTS
---------------- --------
category DEV_TAPE
bus DEV_SCSI
interface SCSI
device SDLT320
<etc.>
[and I see the same for tape5]
However, I can't get the Media Robot Utility (MRU) to talk to it:
beta # setenv MRU_ROBOT /dev/changer/mc2
beta # robot show robot
ROBOT /dev/changer/mc2 is not responding: Operating system specific error.
Until the last weekend, I had an almost identical Neo Overland 2000
system, connected by SCSI, which the MRU could see and handle fine.
However, the Neo's SCSI bus seems to have gone down, and I need to get
backups working again! Can anyone suggest what to look for?
Many thanks,
Andrew
