Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support C4 scsci Tape library not detectable after lustarter patching on solaris 10 u4 Post 302703833 by hicksd8 on Thursday 20th of September 2012 12:08:45 PM

When you probe-scsi-all, if the library isn't listed try very hard to get it listed by resetting the library, power cycling the library, wiggle the scsi cables, replug the cables, et al. While the system is down (ok prompt) gives you the opportunity to run probe-scsi-all repeatedly to see what's there.

To your credit you assumed that the problem was caused by lustarter patching (which is the correct approach for an IT pro "last thing I did caused the problem"). It is however possible that the reboot caused the issue to appear not the lustarter patch. I would begin to think outside the box at a coincidence occuring.

Repeat, try very hard to get probe-scsi-all to see the library whilst the system is down. Might also power cycle the M5000 if you can't get a result.

NAME
scsi_hba_probe - default SCSI HBA probe function SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h> int scsi_hba_probe(struct scsi_device *sd, int(*waitfunc)(void)); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
sd Pointer to a scsi_device(9S) structure describing the target. waitfunc NULL_FUNC or SLEEP_FUNC. DESCRIPTION
scsi_hba_probe() is a function providing the semantics of scsi_probe(9F). An HBA driver may call scsi_hba_probe() from its tran_tgt_probe(9E) entry point, to probe for the existence of a target on the SCSI bus, or the HBA may set tran_tgt_probe(9E) to point to scsi_hba_probe directly. RETURN VALUES
See scsi_probe(9F) for the return values from scsi_hba_probe(). CONTEXT
scsi_hba_probe() should only be called from the HBA's tran_tgt_probe(9E) entry point. SEE ALSO
tran_tgt_probe(9E), scsi_probe(9F), scsi_device(9S) Writing Device Drivers SunOS 5.10 30 Aug 1995 scsi_hba_probe(9F)
