The pithy ruminations from Mike Vasquez on
<[Bacula-users] Setting up a Dell PV 132T> were:
=>
=> I am trying to migrate my bacula system to a newer machine. I have installed
=> bacula with mysql with no problems. I installed a Dell PV 132 T to this
I've also got an PV132T, which I've been using with bacula for about a year.
=> machine and ran "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and got the following results:
=> Attached devices:
=> Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
=> Vendor: PE/PV Model: 1x6 SCSI BP Rev: 1.0
=> Type: Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 02
=> Host: scsi0 Channel: 02 Id: 00 Lun: 00
=> Vendor: MegaRAID Model: LD 0 RAID1 279G Rev: 521X
=> Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
=> Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00
=> Vendor: IBM Model: ULTRIUM-TD2 Rev: 333K
=> Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
=>
=> Then when I run the command "mtx -f /dev/sg2 inquiry," I get the following
Um, why are you using /dev/sg2? There isn't necessarily a relationship between
the SCSI channel number or even the device listing in /proc/scsi/scsi and the
SG number.
If you've installed the sg3_utils package, try using sg_map.
On my server, the assignment of the tape changer to an SG device is not
fixed...the SG number will change depending on which (and how many) SAN devices
were detected at boot time, whether other SCSI devices are present, and whether
any devices have been manually added or removed (by sending the SCSI
"add-single-device" or "remove-single-device" commands to /proc/scsi/scsi).
See:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/sg.html
I find it very helpful to set up symbolic links from:
/dev/tape0 ==> the "0" tape drive in the changer
/dev/tape1 ==> the "1" tape drive in the changer
/dev/changer ==> the tape changer device
These are set at boot time, so that the configs for bacula and other tools can
always refer to the same devices, regardless of the /dev/sg numbering.
I use the following script to assist with setting the links:
===========================================================================
#! /bin/bash -x
# Shell script to create the /dev/changer symlink to the correct device. This
is necessary
# because the /dev/sg* devices can (and do) change their targets upon reboot.
if [ -z $CREATECHANGERATTEMPTS ] ; then
CREATECHANGERATTEMPTS=0
fi
if [ $CREATECHANGERATTEMPTS -gt 1 ] ; then
echo "$0: error. Could not determine the /dev/sg\* device connected to
the autochanger. /dev/changer not created."
exit 1
else
CREATECHANGERATTEMPTS=$((CREATECHANGERATTEMPTS + 1))
export CREATECHANGERATTEMPTS
if [ -e /dev/changer -a ! -h /dev/changer ]; then
echo "$0: error. /dev/changer exists but is not a symlink"
exit 1
fi
rm -f /dev/changer
# Walk through the /dev/sg* devices, running the mtx command. Upon
success, create
# the link
for device in /dev/sg*
do
mtx -f $device status 1> /dev/null 2>&1
# mtx -f $device status 1> /tmp/create_changer.out 2>
/dev/create_changer.errs
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
ln -s $device /dev/changer
exit 0
fi
done
# We can only get here if the attempt failed...in that case...try:
#
# force the HBA to rescan the devices
#
# adding any devices that aren't registered with the OS
#
# do a SCSI reset on those devices
# Collect the initial sg_map, so that we can determine any new devices
