Solaris 10 and DELL TL-2000 Tape Library with ISCSI
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
ast

TGTD(8) [FIXME: manual] TGTD(8)
NAME
tgtd - The SCSI Target Daemon
SYNOPSIS
tgtd
tgtd [-C --control-port <INTEGER>] [-d --debug <INTEGER>] [-f --foregound] [-h --help] [--iscsi <...>]
DESCRIPTION
Tgtd is a SCSI Target daemon. It can be used to provide SCSI target service to a network. The most common service is iSCSI but other
services are also supported.
DEVICE TYPES
Tgtd provides support for both emulated and passthrough of real devices.
Tgtd can emulate the following types of devices:
disk : Normal disk device. Emulates a SCSI harddisk.
tape : Tape device. Emulates a SCSI tape drive.
cd : CD device. Emulates a SCSI DVD burner.
changer : Media changer. Emulate the changer device for a virtual tape library or DVD jukebox.
OPTIONS
-d --debug <INTEGER>
Set to non-zero value to activate additional debugging messages to be logged.
-f --foreground
Run the daemon in the foreground.
-h --help
Print help text to the screen.
-C --control-port <INTEGER>
This comamnd is used to specify the control port to use for this instance of tgtd. This allows to run multiple instances of TGTD on a
host.
TGTADM has a matching argument to control which instance to connect to.
--iscsi <...>
ISCSI specific options. See the ISCSI section below for options specific to this frontend.
ISCSI OPTIONS
These parameters apply only to the iSCSI frontend.
portal=<ip-address[:port]>
This option is used to bind tgtd to a specific ip-address/portal and/or port. By default tgtd will bind to port 3260 on the wildcard
address. The ip-address part (before the ":") can be missing to designate the wildcard address with a none-default port.
Example: to bind tgtd to a specific address and port
tgtd --iscsi portal=192.0.2.1:3260
Example: to bind tgtd to any address but a none-default port
tgtd --iscsi portal=:3251
