Managers,
Last week we put a new SCSI card on member2 of our cluster and attached
a new DLT tape drive. We booted the machine and all's well with member2, he
sees the new tape drive just fine, unfortunately member1 and member3 aren't
quite as happy. The new tape drive is available to the cluster. I can run a
backup on member1 and send the data to the tape drive on member2, but SysMan
is acting weird. Some of the messages we were seeing are:
30-Aug-2001 11:53:01 Device base name changed from unknown to tape1
(HWID=425)
30-Aug-2001 11:56:34 SysMan Station event
30-Aug-2001 11:56:45 DRD: Server member2 selected for device 425
30-Aug-2001 11:57:15 SysMan Station event
30-Aug-2001 11:57:18 DRD: Server member2 selected for device 425
30-Aug-2001 11:57:18 DRD: Added (mapped) DRD server member2
30-Aug-2001 11:57:20 DRD: Added (mapped) DRD server member2
30-Aug-2001 11:57:20 DRD: Server member2 selected for device 425
Which appear to be okay, but on the other two members we started seeing more
and more of the following messages:

This continued until we killed smsd on those two machines, as the processes
were taking up all the time of one full processor. The documentation shows
how to add a disk drive and make it available to the cluster, but that
didn't work for us. We couldn't find any information on what to do when you
add a tape drive and want to make it available to the cluster, so that
SysMan doesn't complain. Short of rebooting the other two members, is there
any way to do this?
