Using HP Storageworks 1/8 G2 with Debian Lenny
in [Debian]
|
From: Daniel Bareiro on 12 Jun 2010 13:50 Hi all! I'm doing tests with a brand new HP Storageworks 1/8 G2 I plan to use with Bacula on Debian GNU/Linux Lenny. The tape autoloader is connected to a PC through an HP Smart Array P212 card. It is HP's entry level PCI Express Serial Attached SCSI RAID controller. In these initial tests I intend to make the autoloader and the drive to recognize commands sent using mtx and mt, respectively. However, in the operating system I'm only seeing the tape drive, but not the autochanger: backup:~# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi3 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: ST3160211AS Rev: 3.AA Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 But I'm not seeing a /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0 device. When I was installing Debian, the installer found a device /dev/cciss in which the storage volume could not be determined. By canceling this, the installation continued normally installing the OS on a SATA disk. After it has finished installing the operating system and booted it, I noticed the following error message in the front panel display of autoloader: ERR: 0:8D 14 00 (Related to the message "mechanical block") I've seen in other previous installation with a internal HP RAID controller the same type of message (unable to recognize the volume of the storage device) because of not being created any locagicaldrive, so maybe the problem was observed for the installation of Debian is due to a lack of controller settings, although I'm not sure what that should be configured on the controller to work with an autoloader (regardless of whether the installation of Debian is not made in a cciss device). The inability to detect the autochanger, the error shown in the display, and the fact could not find a device for the tape drive may be due to a lack of configuration of the SAS RAID controller? Thanks in advance for your reply. Regards, Daniel -- Fingerprint: BFB3 08D6 B4D1 31B2 72B9 29CE 6696 BF1B 14E6 1D37 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux Lenny - Linux user #188.598

Now that I see, this has nothing to do with the tape drive: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- backup:~# smartctl -i /dev/sda smartctl version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 family Device Model: ST3160211AS Serial Number: 6PT56S0F Firmware Version: 3.AAE User Capacity: 160,041,885,696 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 7 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Sat Jun 12 14:49:31 2010 ART SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Also, if it were the tape drive type should be 'Sequential-Access'.
