Backup Central

Hi Folks,

I've got a solaris 5.10 server with a HP tape library (Model MSL2024 1 LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 SAS Tape Library AK378A) connected to it by SAS.

I'm running Netbackup 6.5 on the solaris server, but from the netbackup java console, I CAN'T find the media device attached to the host through the device Configuration Wizard.

Did I forget to configure something? Is HP tape libray need to be manually added to the netbackup configuration.

When running HP Libray Tape Tool, when I run a hardware scan, the drive is been detected; and get the information out of it:

Libraries/Autoloaders:


Processors/Enclosures:

Drives:
1 HP Ultrium 4-SCSI (Address: 0.1.0[st@1,0-/dev/rmt/0])

===============================================

Main > Drive Information >
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is identity information for the selected device. You can use commands to select functionality to perform on this device.

Product ID : Ultrium 4-SCSI
Drive Technology : LTO
Mech. Serial Number : HU194XXXX
Firmware Rev : U51W/MSL G3 Series SAS
Target ID : 1
Target LUN : 0
OBDR Capability : Not Supported
WORM Capability : Supported

As I used to work with NB under windows, I'm not quite familiar under solaris so any help will be welcomed!

Good Morning,

Did you install the netbackup sg driver?

Which drivers are you using?

Did you install the netbackup sg driver?

Which drivers are you using?

Hmm I guess no!
I'm using the default SCSA installed with Solaris:


# /usr/sbin/modinfo |grep sg
142 fffffffff01cb000 1af8 97 1 sysmsg (System message redirection (fan)
222 fffffffff0a75000 2e70 231 1 sg (SCSA Generic Revision: 3.6)
233 fffffffff09e2000 29d8 49 1 msgsys (System V message facility)
233 fffffffff09e2000 29d8 49 1 msgsys (32-bit System V message facilit)
238 fffffffff0116000 4140 145 1 sgen (SCSI generic driver 1.11)
#


So I need to the one that comes with netbackup then?

Regards,

Any chance you are using Sol10 U5? If so then read this article
from HP about disappearing libraries/drives.

If none of that leads to anything, you will need to follow these high
level steps:

This is all discussed in the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide. I
highly recommend reading that.

Connect or zone the robot and drive(s) to the server, this may require a
reboot if SCSI attached
Execute devfsadm -c tape on the server
Make a copy of the existing /kernel/drv/st.conf file
Edit the st.conf file to add lines to support the number of SCSI devices
or enable FC tape support if needed
Navigate to the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver directory
Edit the existing sg.conf and sg.links files in this directory to add your
devices
Run the sg.install file (if you are prompted to to rm -f the sg driver, do
so and re-run sg.install)
Verify sgscan and scan now pick up the devices
If not, they have not been configured properly and you will need to figure
out the issue and redo these steps
Run the Device Confiuration Wizard and it should find your robot and
drive(s) and configure them for you

Hi Folks,

Just a word to say that after installing Netbackup sg drivers, all is working fine! The HP drive is well detected under Netbackup! Cool

Thanks in particular to rusman
