Hello,

i am trying to get following configuration up running, but get no access to the library roboter.

Server: SunOS 5.10 Generic_138889-03 i86pc i386 i86pc
DELL TL-2000: 1 Tape: IBM ULT3580-HH4 and Robot: 3573-TL,
connected via ISCSI Bridge (build into the TL)

Backup software: bacula


i see both iSCSI connections:
(sudo iscsiadm list discovery-address -v)

Discovery Address: 192.168.100.14:3260
Target name: iqn.1988-11.com.dell.200ade:eui.5000e11132111002.1
Target address: 192.168.100.14:3260, 1
Target name: iqn.1988-11.com.dell.200ade:eui.5000e11132111002.0
Target address: 192.168.100.14:3260, 1


now i plumb the devices:
(sudo iscsiadm list target -S)

Target: iqn.1988-11.com.dell.200ade:eui.5000e11132111002.0
Alias: eui.5000e11132111002.0
TPGT: 1
ISID: 4000002a0000
Connections: 1
LUN 0
Vendor: IBM
Product: ULT3580-HH4
OS Device Name: /dev/rmt/0

Target: iqn.1988-11.com.dell.200ade:eui.5000e11132111002.1
Alias: eui.5000e11132111002.1
TPGT: 1
ISID: 4000002a0000
Connections: 1


ok, so the tape device was created but not the library robot, but why?
why is not at the second iscsi id the vendor name and device name presented?

i do not have a device /dev/sg* and no directory /dev/scsi.

So i looked for information about sg and libraries, found some infos about the files /kernel/drv/sgen.conf and /kernel/drv/st.conf and define there the name="sgen" ... and "st" ...

Can make a (sudo mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status) but get no information because no tape is loaded.

Rebooted the server, but still no library.

Do i need a special device driver? There is the IBM devdrv site, aber no file for SUN Solaris 10 on intel386 - only x64 ... bad ...


btw: where do i find a installable version of mtx for Solaris 10 i386 ?


Need your help.
Thank You.

Greetings

Its quite a while since I have looked after a tape library but this page:
Solaris Tips & tricks
talks about modifying the sgen.conf file to make Solaris aware of the robot.

The /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan command mentioned is from Veritas NetBackup.
