SNMPMessaging

Occasionally, the library may encounter as ituation that you want to know about, such as an open magazine or a full that causes the library to stop. The library provides a standard TCP/IP protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to send alerts about conditions (such as need for operator intervention) over TCP/IPLAN network to an SNMP monitoring station. These alerts are called SNMP traps. Using the informations supplied each SNMP trap, the monitoring station (together with customer-supplied software) can alert operations personnel of possible problems or operator intervention that occur.

SNMPTraps

SNMPtrapsarealertsstatusmessagesthatcanbecollected,monitored and usedtoproactivelymanageattachedlibrariesusingSNMPprotocolwiththehost server(s).Insummary,eachtrapprovidesthefollowinginformation:

  • Product Identification such as product name, description, manufacturer, model number, firmwarelevel, and the URL that the trapis designated for.
  • Product Status such as the severity of the trap, status (current and previous) and the timethetrapoccurred.
  • Library State (physical device status) such as identification and status of devices that are monitored. In the case of the library, it would include enclosure, power supply, controller, magazinestatus, drive count, cartridges lot count, and I/O station count. Also included would be certain library statistics, and where appropriate, the fault FSC (fault symptom code) including these severity and description of that fault.

ProductEnvironment

The library is designed to operate in general business environment.

The library meets the acoustical requirements for general business area category 2D. Category 2D state that the library should be installed at minimum of 4 m (13 ft.) from a permanent workstation.

Toallowforserviceaccess, install the library a minimum of 0.9m(3ft.) from all obstacles.

The library is a precision computer peripheral. To ensure maximum longevity of your library, locate the library away from dust, dirt, and airborne particulates. • Keep the library away from high-traffic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted. Carpeting harbors dust and people walking on the carpet can cause the carpet fibers and the dust to become airborne. • Keep the library out of printer or pier room because of flower and paper dust

Chapter3.InstallationPlanning

Beforeinstallingyourlibrary,taketimetoreviewthefollowinginformation.

DeterminingtheNumberofLogicalLibraries

Youcanpartitionthelibraryintoasmanylogicallibrariesastherearedrivesinthe library.

BasicGuidelines

•Each logical library must contain at least one drive.
- Alibraryconfigurationofexactlyonelogicallibraryequalstheentirephysical library.
• Thelibraryissuesawarningtotheuserifmediaismovedacrosslogical libraries.

LibrarySharing

The library default configuration allows single application to operate the library through a single control path. Often, it is advantageous to be able to share a single library between heterogeneous (dissimilar) or homogeneous (similar) applications. Some applications (and some servers) do not allow for sharing a library between systems. Configurations can be created that enable the library to process commands from multiple heterogeneous applications and multiple homogeneous applications.

From the library's WebUser Interface or Operator Control Panel, the following actions can be performed:

- Configurethelibrarysothatitispartitionedintoseparatelogicallibraries that independentlycommunicatewithseparateapplicationsthroughseparatecontrol paths. This configurationrequiresnospecialcapabilitiesfromtheserveror application.(Formoreinformation,see"UsingMultipleLogicalLibrariesfor

UsingMultipleLogicalLibrariesforLibrarySharing

Multiplelogicallibrariesareaneffectivewayforthelibrarytosimultaneouslyback upandrestoredatafromheterogeneousapplications. Forexample, thelibrarycan bepartitionedsothatitprocesses:

•CommandsfromApplicationA(aboutDepartmentX)inLogicalLibrary1
*CommandsfromApplicationB(aboutDepartmentY)inLogicalLibrary2

In this configuration, the storageslots and drivesineachlogical library are dedicated to that library and are not shared among other libraries. Commands issued by the application travel to the library through two unique control paths. Thus, the dataprocessing for:

•DepartmentXisconfinedtothestorageslotsanddrivesinLogicalLibrary1
•DepartmentYisconfinedtothestorageslotsanddrivesinLogicalLibrary2

UsingMultipleControlPaths

Inaddition to creating multiple logical libraries, any logical library can be configured to have more than one control path. When configuring additional control paths, additional library sharing configurations and availability options are made possible. Access to the logical library is on first-come, first-served basis and each control path for logical library can accept commands while the library is in use by another control path. By default, only the first drive logical library will be un-labeled.

Foraparticularlogicallibrary,youcanenableasmanycontrolpathsasthereare drivesinthatlogicallibrary.

Note: Only cables and terminators specified for Ultra160 or Ultra320 use or labeled as MultiModes should be used.

Note: The hostbusadapters should be LVDSCSI. Asingle-ended (SE)SCSI hostbusadapter will work, but will severely degrade performance, and limit cable length. If therecarcany SE devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance.

ChoosingGeneralLibrarySettings

If your library contains only one or more drive logical library, both general and specific settings will be combined into one table (see Figure 4-24 on page 4-25).

  1. Expand Configure Library in the left navigation pane of the Web User Interface.

  2. ClickGeneralandenterthefollowing:

- LibraryMode(selectoneofthefollowingperlogicallibrary):

-Random:Inrandommode, the library allow stheserver's (host's) application software to select any data cartridge in any order.

-Sequential: Insequential mode, the library's firmware predefines the selection of the cartridges. After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select the first available cartridge found (counting from the I/O Station through the last slot into your library) for loading into the drive.

Important: If a Logical Library in Sequential Mode contains more than one drive, only the first drive in the Logical Library will be utilized.

Figure4-29.FeatureActivationKeyscreen

  1. On the Encryption screen, enter the Feature Activation Key to make available the librarymanagedencryptionoptions.

  2. Click Activate to save the key and expand the screen for additional encryption settings.

  3. Internal Label - Selective Encryption: Check your tape backup software applicationdocumentationtosceifthisfeatureissupported.

  4. Internal Label - Encrypt All: Check your tape backup software application documentation to see if this feature is supported.

  5. A primary and secondary key management server can be set for a logical library. Each partition has its own encryption and key management settings. Maintaining primary and secondary key management servers is desired for maximum availability of encrypted backup and recovery. These settings are required for Library Managed Encryption only. Enter the EKM Server Setting information.

Note: The IP address of the key management host must be consistent with the library Network settings. This means if the library is set to IPV4 only networks support, the key management host must be an IPV4 address. If the Dell Power Vault library is required to function in a mixed network environment the library must be set to IPv4 + IPv6.

- Primary IP address (IPv4 or IPv6): Enter the IP address of the primary key managementserver.

- Primary TCP port: After entering the Primary IP address, the library will automatically set the value of the Primary TCP port.

- Secondary IP address (IPv4 or IPv6): Enter the IP address of the secondary keymanagementserver.

- Secondary TCP port: After entering the Secondary IP address, the library will automatically set the value of the Secondary TCP port.

Note: The Default Port for TCP (SSL disabled) is 3801. The Default Port for SSLis443. These values are the default value set by the library. They can be changed depending on the user configuration but the user has to make sure they match the EKM properties file.

Note: If SSL is enabled the encryption host configuration will request a SSL port instead of TCP port. Review your IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSWPVP/welcome?lang=enforinstructionstolocatetheappropriate port settings.

  2. Ensure that all there required or latest available Operating System files and/or

VerifyingtheConnection

  1. Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the SCSID or FibreChannel Loop ID of the library, if the current ID does same as another device on the bus.

  2. WhenthehostserverispoweredON, installthesoftwareand/ordriver(s) that arecompatiblewiththelibrary.Backupsoftwarepackagesmayrequire additionalsoftwareorlicensingtocommunicatelwiththelibraryaccessor.

  3. If this is a SCSI attachment, ensure the library is properly terminated. If the library is then SCSI device, other than the SCSI host adapter on these selected SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the library is physically the last SCSI device, the SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Only the devices physically located at the beginning and end of the SCSI bus should be terminated.

  4. Confirm that the host server operating system recognized the library. In Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you can verify this by going to: Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Tape Drive and/or MediumChanger.

PopulatingtheLibrarywithDataCartridges

Important: Cartridges placed in the library must be labeled with the correct bar

codelabels.Foradditionalinformation,seeChapter6,"UsingUltrium

Media "onpage6"

  1. Put magazines back into the library. The library will automatically start up and perform an inventory check.

InsertingtheCleaningCartridge

Important:Cleaningcartridgesplacedinthelibrarymustbelabeledwiththe correctbarcodelabels.Foradditionalinformation,seeChapter6, "UsingUltriumMedia,"onpage6-1.

Note: Earlier versions of the 4 Library contained a Dedicated Cleaning Slot (DCS). This DCScan beretained and suppressed by future library firmware updates. However, library firm warclater than 3.90 will allow removal of the DCS, thus enabling this slottobe used as storages slot. Once the DCS is removed, the AutoClean cleaning cartridge slot must be configured as described below. If the DCS has been removed, it can only be reinstated by restoring factory default settings. Toremove the DCS, perform the following procedure using the Operator Control Panel (OCP): OCP->Configure->Library Settings->General->Remove DCS->No/Yes->Save.

The following criteria must be followed for AutoCleantofunction:

  1. Astorageslotmustbereserved(ResorRSVD).

- Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any particularlogicallibrary. A reserved slot (or slots) is always the last slot in the last magazine of any particularlogical library. A cleaning cartridge get thatis in a reserved slot is available to an logical library drive even if there reserved slot is not in that particularlogical library. If the library contains multiple logical libraries, typically, the last logical library is chosen to be there reserved slot containing the cleaning cartridge. As with a library with as single logical library, this slot is the last physical slot in the library (top right magazine, uppermost car slot).

  1. The AutoCleanfunction must be Enabled.

• AutoloadOption:

- If the Autoload option is set to ON (Configure > Library Settings > Autoload), the accessor will load the first cartridge (cartridge located in the slot with the lowest numeric value) found in the storage inventory arc aintothedrive upon power ON of the library. If the library powers with a cartridge already in the drive, sequential mode will start with that cartridge unless the host issues are wind and unload command to the drive. In that case, then next cartridge sequence will be loaded into the drive.

-If the AutoloadOptioniOFF, sequentialmodemustbestarted by selecting the Move Cartridges option (Control > Move Cartridges) to load the first cartridge (or any cartridge) into the drive. Whatever cartridge is loaded into the drive, that is where these sequences start from. For example, if a cartridge from the fifth lowest numeric storage slot containing a cartridge is loaded using the Move Cartridges option, after the host tissues are wind / unload command, then next cartridge loaded will be the cartridge from then each higher numeric slot. Cartridges need not be in contiguous slots.

For example, if your library has 4 drives installed, you must have formed a data cartridges in the library, prior to this start of the test. If there are carried in this library, an error message "Slot Empty" will occur, and the test will not complete successfully. The media type must be compatible with the drivetype. Otherwise, an error message "Incompatible Media" will occur and the test will fail.

  2. These firmware updates are intended to increase overall reliability, improve tape handling, reduce the possibility of data errors, and enhanced diagnostic capabilities.

Note: Library firmware and tapedrive firmware are verified and released together. When you are updating the latest firmware, verify that all installed components such as tapedrive, and library area the latest levels noted on the Support website. Mixing different level so library and tapedrive firmware is not supported and might cause unpredictableresults.

Thispagedisplaysthecurrentlibraryanddrivefirmwareversions.Firmwareis downloadedtothehost,thenuploadedtothedriveorlibrary.

ClickBrowse...tochoose the firmware file you downloaded from the website for the library or drive you want to update. (You can update only one device at time). Besure that you choose the correct firmware for the library or drive type. ClickUpdate to initiate the file transfer and firmware update.

Note: During the update, no host drive action is possible. The drive updatetakes approximately 5 minutes. Thesystemstatuspanel (inth right of the browser window) changes from "update" to "ready".

If incompatible firmware is transferred to the library or drive the Update function terminates with message that indicates incompatible firmware. If the library has a BCR (barcodereader) that requires 9.00 or greater firmware, the Update function terminates with message that indicates the library requires firmware 9.00 or higher.

To ensure that the drive is updated with the correct firmware, referto the drive identification information provided in the Upgrade Library Firmware banner. Ensure that the drive firmware is for the correct drivetype (Full Height, Half Height), correct protocol (SCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel), and correct version (V2). Drivecode for V2 drives is not compatible with driver that are not V2.

DataCartridges

The different generations of Ultrium data cartridges can be identified by color:

When processing tape in the cartridges, Ultrium Tape Drives use a linear, serpentin recording format. Then at acapacity and recording format of Ultrium data cartridges as follows:

InstallationProblems

Problemsencounteredduringtheinstallationofthelibraryareusuallycausedby improperSCSibusconfiguration,applicationsoftwareconfigurationerrors,oran incorrectlyconfiguredoperatingsystem.Iftheapplicationsoftwarethatyouare usingisnotcommunicatingwiththelibraryafterinstallation,checkthefollowing:

- AccessorShipLockKey:

Ensure that the Accessor Ship Lock Key on the top cover has been removed before powering on the library. Referto "Removing and Storing the Shipping Lock" on page 4-4.

•DriveSCSIorLoopID:

Ensure that the SCSIID of the Drive (or FibreChannel Loop ID) is correct and not the same as other devices that maybe on the same bus or loop. To determine the SCSI or Loop ID foreach SCSI or Fibre Channel drive in your library, navigate to:

- Operator Control Panel: Monitor > Drive > Identity

-WebUserInterface:MonitorLibrary>DriveIdentity

Tochangeadrive'sID, navigateto:

- Operator Control Panel: Configure > Drive > Drive Interface -WebUserInterface:ConfigureLibrary>Drives

•HostBusAdapter(HBA)Compatibility:

Ensure that the library is compatible with the IBA. For best performance, the HBA used for this library should be SCSI-31.VDS. Pay particular attention to an steps describing settings of various jumpers and/or switches.

•HBALUN0/1Support:

AsingleIDwilladdressbothdriveandlibrarysincethedriveisLUN0andthe libraryisLUN1. These models require an HBA that supports LUNscanning which must be enabled at the HBA. Referto "LogicalUnitNumber(LUN) Scanning" on page 3-7.

•CableConnections:

Ensure that there are no bent pinson cables and that all connections are securely fastened.

Ensure that the proper device driver, if applicable, is installed for the library.

Note: Many backup applications usetheirowndriversforthelibraryanddrive. Before installing a driver, makes sure it will not be in conflict with the software. Contact your Backup Application vendor for this information.

If the library is taking an extended amount to time to initialize, to perform inventory over ten months, can be carried through the library, them to improve its integrity should be verified. Prior to exchanging a library component. This situation can be noted by the Activity Line in the Operator Panel posting Recovery. Prism is integrity verification can be done by releasing the magazines and inspecting the cell prisms. Normal initialization or inventory time for a 2L library on each epcicker mechanism starts its operations should be approximately 1 to 2 minutes. For a 4L library, 2 to 3 minutes. As single missing or damaged prism can add 1 to 2 minutes. If the accessor trays sensor / emitter is inoperable, or several prisms are remissing or damaged, initialization or inventory could exceed 30 minutes or longer. Referto

If the Library does not power on:

  1. With library power OFF and the power cord unplugged, loosent the three thumbscrews (5), graspt two of the thumbscrews, pull the powersupply out halfway, reseat the powersupply, and tight the three thumbscrews.

  2. Ensure the power cord is plugged in at the power supply (6) and at the electrical outlet, then turn library power ON.

a. For powersupplies with LED's, the "Blue" LED will belitif AC power is good.

b. If your powers supply does not have LED's, feel for airflowing out of the cooling fan grill on the car of the library (4). AC is good if air is flowing from the cooling fan grill.

  1. If power appear to be missing

a.Plugthepowercordintoanotherelectricaloutlet.

b. If power is still missing, plug another device into the outlet to test.

c.IftheoutlettestsOK,tryanotherpowercordwiththelibrary.

  1. For powersupplies with LED's, if the "Amber" LED is lit, replace the power supply (referto "Replacing Power Supply" on page 10-10).

  2. If your powersupply has not led's, and you have verified that the electrical outlet works properly, but the powersupply is still failing, replace it (referto "Replacing a Power Supply" on page 10-10).

  3. If the powersupply seems to be delivered power to the library (Operator Control Panel and front panel LED's maybe functioning); however, air does not flow from the powersupply cooling fan grill on the car of the library, replace the powersupply (referto "Replacing a Power Supply" on page 10-10).

  4. If the powersupply seem to be delivered power to the library (Operator Control Panel and front panel LED's may be functioning), and air is flowing from the powersupply cooling fan grill on there are the library, observe the "Green" LED (lowest of the three). If it is, the powersupply is OK.

Note: If your library has -04 level redundant powersupplies (seelabelontop of powersupply), it is normal for the one in "Standby" modetoturnits.

Note: If you are instructed by Dell Technical Support to copy the driven dump to your host computer, use one of the following methods:

- WebUserInterface:Referto"ServiceLibrary:SaveDriveDump" on page5-61.

- ITDT:Referto"UsingtheITDTFirmwareUpdate,DumpRetrieval andDriveTestTool"onpage9-5.

  1. Ensure that the drive firmware is at the latest level. Todetermine current library and drive firmware version using the OperatorControlPanel:

- Library firmware: Monitor > Library > Identity

- Drive firmware: Monitor > Drives > Identity (select a drive) Drive firmware is identified in the FWRevfield.

  1. Tryreseatingthedrivesled.

Note: The drivesled is shot-pluggable so it is not necessary to power off the library. See "Removing/Installing/AddingaTapeDriveSled" on page 10-3.

  1. Cyclepowertothelibrary.

  2. If aird does not flow from the drives led cooling fan grill on there are of the library, replace the drives led CRU. Several library error codes also point to cooling problems. See "Removing/Installing/Adding Tape Drive Sled" on page 10-3.

  3. If the drive is experiencing permanent temporary errors or if the amber Clean LED disiton the front panel of the library, select Clean Drive from the Operator Control Panel Service Menu (Service > Service > Clean Drive) and clean the drive. Use only an approved cleaning cartridge (see "Cleaning Cartridge" on page 6-4).

  4. Run the Library Verify Diagnostic which includes a drive performance Read/Writetest.Besuretouseaknowngoodscratchorblankdatacartridge. •Ifthedrivetestfails,replacethedrivesledCRU(referto "Removing/Installing/AddingaTapeDriveSled"onpage10-3).

  5. If the drive passes all the tests, inspect themediato ensure themedia is compatible with the drive and not causing drive errors. Referto Chapter 6, "Using UltriumMedia," on page 6-1.

- If the card appear stohavenoabnormalities, reseat the card back in the library, tightenthumbscrews, and turn library power ON.

  1. If both the Operator Control Panel and Web User interfaces are inoperable or frozen and the latest firmware has been installed, the controller card CRU electronics is themost likely failure. If only the Web User Interface has failed, please see "solating Web User Interface Problems" before replacing any CRUs.

  2. If a control card error code has been obtained and reseating, power cycling, and updating the library firmware did not fix the problem, the controller card CRU is chemost likely failing CRU (referto "Replacing a Library Controller Card" on page 10-11).

  3. If the error code indicates an accessory type error (slider, elevator, sled, etc.), recascand remove both magazines (see "Control: Magazine" on page 5-17, "ManageLibrary: Release Magazine" on page 5-12, or "Releasing the Magazines Manually" on page 9-1) and observethaccessor path for any obvious obstruction or problems. Resolve any observed problem if possible. Execute a Library System Test. See "Service Library: Perform Diagnostics" on page 5-6 for the web or "Service: Run Tests" on page 5-30 for the OCT if the problem is persistent, contact Dell technical support.

  4. If the library is taking an extended amount to time in recovery to complete initialization, perform inventory, or executing a cartridge movement within the library, and, after finding the magazine cell fiducialist possible with no visible damage and correctly installed, suspect the sensor / emitter on the accessor mechanism to be inoperable. Execute a Library System Test. See "Service library: Perform Diagnostics" on page 5-62 for the Webbor "Service Run Tests" on page 5-30 for the OCPI if the problem is persistent, contact Dell technical support.

IsolatingWebUserInterfaceProblems

If the WebUserInterface is not functioning at all or if it is intermittently functioning, review the following steps to ensure that it is properly configured, or, to help determine which CRU or part need to be replaced. The complete Web UserInterface electronics reside on the library controller card CRU.

  1. Ensure that the ethernet cable is securely plugged in therear of the library at the ethernet port. See 7 on the "RearPanel" on page 1-3.

A F 1.01 4M V: 1 10: 11 1 1: 1

IsolatingAccessorScannerProblems

If the server has reported inventory problems relating to inability to read barcode labels, or, if some oral of the cartridge labels are not being displayed on the Web User Interface, use the following procedure to determine if the scanner (library enclosure CRU) need to be replaced.

  1. Ensure that as supported barcode label (or labels) are being used.
  2. With library power OFF, reseathelibrarycontrollercardCRU (referto "ReplacingaLibraryControllerCard" on page 10-11), and henswitchlibrary power ON.
  3. Performare-inventoryviatheOperatorControlPanel(Control> Re-Inventory) and view the inventory via the Web User Interface (Monitor Library>Inventory) todetermineifthelabelsarenowbeingread.
  4. If the labels are still not being read properly, please contact Dell technical support.

IsolatingHostAttachmentInterfaceProblems

Aftersuccessfullyexercising"IsolatingDriveSledProblems",andmorespecifically the "Library Verify" diagnostic on the Operator Control Panel (Service > Library Verify)whichincludesadrive(ordrives)read/writediagnostic,thefollowing proceduresaresuggestedtohelpisolatethefailuretoproperlyestablish connectivitytotheHostBusAdapter(HBA).

  1. Use the utility, ITDT, to evaluate connectivity from the HBA through the cabling to the drive (or drives). ITDT does not require a separated device driver, thus the Operating System has the ability to scan and find all the LTD devices that are attached. If ITDT cannot successfully locate the LTD drive, suspect cabling or IBA problems, and skip step 2. If ITDT successfully located the LTD drive, proceed to step 2. See Using the TDT Firmware Update, Dump Retrieval and Drive Test Tool "on page 9-5 for about brief description of ITDT and instruction on how to download the tool from the web.
  2. If ITD ^s successfully locates the LTO device(s), verify that the correct application device drivers and backup applications software is properly installed.
  3. Ensure that all there required or latest available Operating Systemfiles and/or updates (dll's PTE's etc.) have been installed and applied

  4. Remove cartridge. If cartridge was reported as Bad, properly dispose the cartridge.

TheITDTTool:

  • Runsquickorextendeddiagnosticsontapedrives. If the library is on lineto the server / host where the tool resides, ITDT will communicate with the drive through the library to load and unload at test cartridge thereby exercising some library functions.
    •Retrievesfirmwaredumpsfromtapedrivesandlibraries.
  • Perform sa firmware update on taped drives or libraries. Seen note below regarding library firmware update.
  • Teststheperformanceoftheenvironmentbycompletelywritingacartridgeand measuringperformance.

  • Verifiestheencryptionenvironment.
  • Does not require special device drivers.
    •Isavailableformostmajorplatforms.

Note: ITDT Version7 or higher is required for Ultrium5 and Ultrium6 tape drives. Before using ITDT, verify that your library host operating system is athelatest released level. This will ensure optimum read/write operations for diagnostics.

Note: If the library has a BCR (Barcode Reader) that requires 9.00 or greater firmware, the Update function will terminate with an error code of "UnexpectedData" if you attempt to down level the library firmware.

SCSIElementAddressing

Every logical library starts at the first drives slot with the current assigned element start address (default value 256). It will be incremented from the bottom to the top slots forever drives slot. There is one exception to this addressings schemeto accommodates libraries currently in the field. A4 Ulibrary which contains only full height drives will continue to have the addresses assignments 256 and 257, thus causing no interruption to the operation. Drives slot will still be incremented by 1 before drives slot position.

Note: Exchanging drives with different form factors will result in the library needing to be reconfigured.

AppendixD.EnablingLUNSupportinLinux

Toverify the detection of ataped drive, administrator should check for its entry in /proc/scsi/scsi.Current versions of linux may not scan the logical storage unit (LUN) I do every device. This can result in some TL2000 / TL4000 devices not being identified or listed in the /proc/scsi/scsi output. Administrators can follow these step to enable support for such devices.

  1. Type cat /proc/scsi/scsi. The output will look similar to the following: Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: ULT3580-HH3 Rev: 88M3 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03

  2. Identify the host adapter, channel number, target ID number, and LUN number for the first LUN of the device to be configured. In this example, the IBM Model ULT3580 (drive in the TL200) /TL4000 is shown at the address, or nexus, 0 0 0 0 — which means host adapter, channel number, ID1, and LUN0. The TL200 /TL4000 always shasthetaped drivcat LUN0 and therobot at LUN1.

  3. ForeachLUNthatneedstobediscovered by Linux, issuethe following command: echo "scsi-add-single-deviceHCIL">/proc/scsi/scsi HCIL referstothenexusdescribedinstep2.So, withtheTL2000/T1.4000robot configuredatl.UN1,type:echo "scsi-add-single-device001 0">/proc/scsi/scsi.Theechocommandwillforceascanofeachdeviceatthe givennexus.

  4. Type cat /proc/scsi/scsi again to verify that all devices are now listed. The outputwilllooksimilartothefollowing: Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: ULT3580-HM3 Rev: 80M3 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 01 Vendor: IBM Model: 3573-TL Rev: 7.10

Vendor: IBM Model: ULT3580-HH3 Rev: 88M3

  1. You will need to add the following to /etc/modules.conf options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255

Note: InRHEL4, it is max_luns = 255

# mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.9-e.38.img 2.4.9-e.38

This should give some output, then go to anew prompt. If it gives any errors, check the syntax you put into /etc/modules.conf or contacts someone knowledgeable with Linux.

  1. If successful, the server Will need to be rebooted. Once it comes backup, check / proc / scsi / scsi again.

  1. After the STARTUP.NCF file has been edited, save the file and reboot the server to activate thenew STARTUP.NCF.

  2. Upon reboot navigate to the System Console and type scan all. This will start ascanofalltheLUNSoneachadapter.

  3. When the scan is complete, verify the Linux device has been detected using the list storage adapters command. Typical output with both the tape drive and loader being recognized: 0x08 [V321-A3] Adaptec SCSI Card 39160/39600 - Ultra160 SCSI [slot 201] 0x16 [V321-A3-D5:1] DELL PV-124T 0931 0x15 [V321-A3-D5:0] IBM ULT3580-TD3 5BG2 0x09 [V321-A4] Adaptec SCSI Card 39160/39600 - Ultra160 SCSI [slot 202]

Netwaremaydisplayunbounddevice,meaningadriverisnotboundtothe loaderunlessadriverfromabackupsoftwareisloaded. Thisdoesnotprevent thebackupapplicationfromdetectingtheLUNandbindingtheappropriate driver.

Note: The command scan all must be typed upon OS boot every time. If backup software services automatically start on OS boot, you must disable them, run the scan all command, and re-enable the services.
