Storage tape loader L280 with veritas. newbie installation
I'm running sunos 5.7 with a sun tape loader L280 (storage edge i think)
I am doing backups using veritas netbackup 3.4
I rebooted and everything went haywire! Backups no longer work. Here is the error message in the backup job monitor:
(52) timed out waiting for media manager to mount volume
Then did a boot -r.. no luck. Here's what i've done so far:
1. --> #sgscan:
/dev/sg/c0t0l0: Disk (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0): "FUJITSU MAG3091L SUN9.0G"
/dev/sg/c0t6l0: Cdrom: "TOSHIBA XM6201TASUN32XCD"
/dev/sg/c2t0l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/1): "QUANTUM DLT7000"
/dev/sg/c2t5l0: Changer: "HPC6280-7000"
2. --> #/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -d:
Index DriveName DrivePathTypeMultihost Status
***** ********* *********************** ******
0Drive0/dev/rmt/1cbndltNoUP
TSD(0) DefinitionDRIVE=1
Currently defined robotics are:
TSD(0)robotic path = /dev/sg/c2t0l0, volume database host = ed
3. --> #robtest
Configured robots with local control supporting test utilities:
TSD(0)robotic path = /dev/sg/c2t0l0
Robot Selection
1) TSD 0
2) none/quit
Enter choice: 1
Robot selected: TSD(0)robotic path = /dev/sg/c2t0l0
Invoking robotic test utility:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tsdtest -r /dev/sg/c2t0l0 -d1 /dev/rmt/1cbn
Opening /dev/sg/c2t0l0
SCSI command failed
Sense Key: Illegal Request (0x5)
Invalid move attempted (ASC 0x24, ASCQ 0x0)
Enter tsd commands (? returns help information)
q
4. -> #mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status
/dev/rmt/1: no tape loaded or drive offline
I have a feeling i might need to reinstall the veritas driver? How would i do that if that is even the fix. Thanks!!!!!

This says your changer is on c2t5l0

That's not good. That's the path of your drive, not your robot. Somehow your robot config is wrong. Maybe you want to either redo the device configuration wizard, or delete the existing robot and make a new one.

That part looks fine.

What veritas driver? Why do you think you need to reinstall it? Looks like a simple misconfiguration to me.

may i know how u configure it to work? Bcos, im facing the same problem as u have.
What happen is:-
1. The turn off the autoloader and did a full shut down of the server.
2. After it is turn on again, the backup cannot be done. Its gives an error saying that it cannot find the storage unit.
3. When i turn the drive up, it automatically goes down again.
What i did after that:-
1. Using the Device Configuration wizard to configure the robot and device.
2. Encounter a problem when selecting a drive, it gives me the error message as follow:-
The following robot(S) are enabled but do not have enabled drive configured Robot0 - TLD
Details:-
#/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -d
IndexDrive Name Drive PathType Shared Status
---- ---
1 Quantum/dev/rmt/1cbndltNo Down
Currently defined robotics are:
TLD(0) robotic paths = /dev/sg/c0t0l0
where database host =oracle
What i need to know:-
1. How do u reconfigure ur robots to work?
2. Can anyone please help me with this problem im facing?
Thanks for any reply at all...
