Operating Systems AIX p570 seeing LTO drive but not 3582 library (smc0) Post 302463928 by BobSmith on Monday 18th of October 2010 09:38:10 PM

p570 seeing LTO drive but not 3582 library (smc0)

I have a p570 running AIX 5.2 ml 10. We just got in a IBM 3582 library. The library is connected directly to the lpar via fibre cable.

I've installed:
Code:
Atape.driver              11.7.7.0
atldd.driver               6.8.4.0

After a reboot, I can see the one tape drive:
Code:
root@rgtsscsr60:/etc # lsdev -Cc tape
rmt0 Available 0H-08-00-0,0 LVD SCSI 4mm Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 0M-08-02     IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

I can also run a tapeutil command against it (tapeutil -f /dev/rmt1 status) and get the status of the drive.

My problem is that no smc device shows up. That is, I can't see the library.

Did I miss a step somewhere? Is there some other fileset I need to install?

Thanks (in advance) for any help you can provide.

I am not using any backup software other than wanting to use tapeutil to control my library/tape drive.

TAPEINFO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       TAPEINFO(1)

NAME
tapeinfo - report SCSI tape device info SYNOPSIS
tapeinfo -f <scsi-generic-device> DESCRIPTION
The tapeinfo command reads various information from SCSI tape drives that is not generally available via most vendors' tape drivers. It issues raw commands directly to the tape drive, using either the operating system's SCSI generic device ( e.g. /dev/sg0 on Linux, /dev/pass0 on FreeBSD) or the raw SCSI I/O ioctl on a tape device on some operating systems. One good time to use 'tapeinfo' is immediately after a tape i/o operation has failed. On tape drives that support HP's 'tapealert' API, 'tapeinfo' will report a more exact description of what went wrong. Do be aware that 'tapeinfo' is not a substitute for your operating system's own 'mt' or similar tape driver control program. It is intended to supplement, not replace, programs like 'mt' that access your operating system's tape driver in order to report or set information. OPTIONS
The first argument, given following -f , is the SCSI generic device corresponding to your tape drive. Consult your operating system's doc- umentation for more information (for example, under Linux these are generally start at /dev/sg0 under FreeBSD these start at /dev/pass0). Under FreeBSD, 'camcontrol devlist' will tell you what SCSI devices you have, along with which 'pass' device controls them. Under Linux, "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" will tell you what SCSI devices you have. BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
This program has only been tested on Linux with a limited number of tape drives (HP DDS4, Seagate AIT). AVAILABILITY
tapeinfo is currently being maintained by Robert Nelson <robertnelson@users.sourceforge.net> as part of the 'mtx' suite of programs. The 'mtx' home page is http://mtx.sourceforge.net and the actual code is currently available there and via SVN from http://source- forge.net/projects/mtx. SEE ALSO
