Dear axp-ists,
I just buyed a tz885 DLT tape drive with 5 slots.
I installed it on my Dunix 4.0d alpha server ,
BUT
I'm not able to make a vdump which automatically changes the tapes when
the end of one is reached.
I've succesfully installed Media Robot Utility V1.2 and the
SCSI CAM Medium Changer Driver V3.1C (CLCMC313 subset).
The robot and xrobot commands works perfectely and I can move tapes
from each slot to the drive and viceversa.
I made 2 devices:
/dev/mc20b which is the changer
/dev/rmt2h which is the tape drive
I make dumps as follows:
vdump 0f /dev/nrmt2h /fileset
but end of media is reached at th end of the tape which is actually
loaded in the drive. There is not AUTOMATIC moving of tapes from the
next slot to the drive!
here what I get from scu
scu show edt bus 2
CAM Equipment Device Table (EDT) Information:
Device: TZ885 Bus: 2, Target: 4, Lun: 0, Type: Sequential Access
Device: TZ Media Changer Bus: 2, Target: 4, Lun: 1, Type: Medium Changer
If I try to vdump to /dev/mc20b device I get errors
write error: No such device
vdump: unable to write to save-set; [19] No such device
Any suggestion ?
Thanks to all from Italy,
Emanuele
