All...
I have a TRU64 DS20E V4.0F patch kit 5. This is connected through an KGPSA
through some fibre infrastructure to a storagetek L700 tape silo.
I have a couple of HP boxes connected through the same SAN to the same silo.
Ultimately, the 3 BOXES WILL BE Networker STORAGE NODES AND DRIVE SHARING
WILL BE USED.
HP boxes are ok and can see the tape drives:
root_at_hpserver# mt -f /dev/rmt/1mnb stat
Drive: QUANTUM DLT7000
Format: DLT 85937 bpi 52 quad-tracks compressed (70 GB)
Status: [41118585] BOT online compression immediate-report-mode
File: 0
Block: 0
The TRU64 server has a problem. If I try to stat the devices, it fails:
tru64_root> mt -f /dev/nrmt1h stat
/dev/nrmt1h: Device busy
However, if you go to one of the HP systems and stat the same drive:
root_at_hpserver# mt -f /dev/rmt/1mn stat
Drive: QUANTUM DLT7000
Format:
Status: [0]
File: 0
Block: 0
then repeat the stat on the TRU64 box, it works just fine:
tru64_root> mt -f /dev/nrmt1h stat

The problem appears on all the TRU64 tape drives connected through the SAN.
Once statted on the HP they all work ok on the TRU64 box.
Is this something to do with SCSI bus on the TRU64 box being in a weird
state at boot time - which is then fixed by the stat on another node.
Any ideas? - Many thanks
