Solaris

Hi,

I'm executing the command devfsadm to check the tape drive as I did to 5.9 version but it gives me this message "devfsadm: not found" Is it different command to check the tape drive in 5.6 version?

Thansk in advance.

yes, in solaris 6 you had to use "drvconfig", "devlinks" and "tapes", i think "devfsadm" has been included since solaris 8... (or 7? hmm, long long time ago )

regards pressy

Haloo Pressy Thank you very much tape drive is now detected.
I also have external drive an SCSI drive what is the command to have this detected on the system, tried to ran iostat -En and no external device found

appreciate your help and sorry for always asking you know I'm a newbies in this OS

for disks the commands would be:
"drvconfig", "devlinks" and "disks"

Hi pressy the device still not show up do you know what is the reason?
I checked the connection of the cable and its plug in and the 2nd node has terminated. What do you think?

hmm, perhabs there is a problem with the dynamic reconfiguration... could you reboot the server? ... then you could try to make a reconfiguration boot invoking "reboot -- -r"

Hello Pressy Its me again.

Device is now detected but it shows an error during start-up "SCSI BUS Message OUT Phase parity error" anyway if I do the iostat -En

it appears the external drive:
c0t2d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: SEAGATE Product: ST373405LW Revision: 0003 Serial No: 3EK1NV7H
RPM: 10040 Heads: 8 Size: 73.40GB <73404694528 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

I reviewed our documentation on this server at it appears that there is a mount point /bulk how i able to mount these since the external drive is already detected.

Appreciate your help.
