sg driver configuration does not work on solaris 10 x86

Hi all,

i try to configure two HP Ultrium 6-SCSI tape drives on solaris 10 x86 but without success.

The OS could the tape drives:
# ls -l /dev/rmt/*cbn
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          63 Sep 23 22:50 /dev/rmt/0cbn -> ../../devices/pci@79,0/pci10de,377@a/pci1000,3150@0/st@31,0:cbn
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          63 Sep 23 22:50 /dev/rmt/1cbn -> ../../devices/pci@79,0/pci10de,377@a/pci1000,3150@0/st@32,0:cbn

But i try a lot of the hints from the forum without success.

# cfgadm -al
c7                             scsi-sas     connected    configured   unknown
c7::rmt/0                      tape         connected    configured   unknown
c7::rmt/1                      tape         connected    configured   unknown
c7::sg42                       unknown      connected    configured   unknown

In /var/adm/messages i could also see that the tape drives are there:
Sep 23 23:14:55 rosinbckp01 scsi: [ID 583861 kern.info] st41 at mpt6: unit-address 31,0: target 31 lun 0
Sep 23 23:14:55 rosinbckp01 genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] st41 is /pci@79,0/pci10de,377@a/pci1000,3150@0/st@31,0
...
Sep 23 23:14:55 rosinbckp01 scsi: [ID 583861 kern.info] st42 at mpt6: unit-address 32,0: target 32 lun 0
Sep 23 23:14:55 rosinbckp01 genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] st42 is /pci@79,0/pci10de,377@a/pci1000,3150@0/st@32,0

I tried to configure the sg.conf, st.conf and so on without success. Has someone an idea or can me provide how the *.conf files has to be configured?

Thanks ...

Regards,
Martin

    Hmm, right this second I'm struggling to see what we can do within NBU - as described, the setup of the sg driver is simple, and both mariannes and my methods work (the reason they are slightly different is because we just stick to 'what we know'. You say the systems are the same, I suspect the drives are scsi connected, are you using the same same cards ? Certainly there have been issues with cards but I thin those were FC HBAs (6GB ones, would have to look up the exact details, there's a TN out there somewhere on it) - but you don't have the same issue, as for that problem the word 'tape' appears in the path, which you don't have. However, it doesn't mean you haven't hit some other issue, especially if the cards are different than in your other machine. I have never seen this fail other than when there is a mistake in the config files, which you usually spot on the 2nd attempt ... Even then, as you are config via target/ lun the sg.build (as in mariannes post) captures the required entries in the files. The times that there are sometimes issues in when config is via WWNs and for some reason the sg.build script doesn't put the entries in the file, so you have to do it manually. I'm not around much tomorrow, so I'm not abandoning you, but you might want to log a call. Post the case number up here and I'll take a look. Before you log the call : 1. Do the modulnload command I posted before 2. Delete the files in /dev/sg 3. Delete the lines in /etc/devlink.tab 4. Delete the file sg.conf and links in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver 5. Re- run Mariannes method, exactly as before, and copy paste those steps into your explanation email, after steps 1-4 above. I want to avoid you going round and round in circles - so when you log the call send in an email explain you have done steps 1 - 5 and then explain the following : The ls -al on /dev/rmt shows st@31,0 and st@32,0 which means you need files covering targets / luns upto target 32 / lun 0. Include in the explanation copies of the 'new' sg.conf and links files to show this. Explain that you have repeated these steps a few times, and it just doesn't work. Sorry I haven't been able to get to the bottom of this today, as I mentioned, I've either just missed something simpe, or there is something odd going on. Martin

    Have you disabled OS multipathing?

    This is needed for sg drivers to work (documented in Device Config Guide).

    Use the following procedure to disable MPxIO.
     
    1 Use a text editor to open the following file:
    /kernel/drv/fp.conf
    2 Change the mpxio-disable value from no to yes. After the change, the line
    in the file should appear as follows:
    mpxio-disable="yes"
    3 Save the changes and exit from the text editor.
     
    Follow these steps to reconfig sg drivers:
     

    See http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH10725 for examples how to determine number of targets (to be used with -mt) and number of luns (-ml).

    Next, do the following:

    # cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver
    # /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all -mt <32> -ml <1>

    Install the new sg driver configuration:

    # /usr/bin/rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf
    # /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install

    Check/verify config:

    # /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan

     

    (I am aware that Martin's method is different, but this has always worked for me.)

    Hi Marianne,

    yes i have disabled multipathing. I try your configuration but without success:

     

    mpxio-disable="yes";
#
# You can describe a list of target port WWNs and LUN numbers which will
# not be configured. LUN numbers will be interpreted as decimal. White
# spaces and ',' can be used in the list of LUN numbers.
#
# pwwn-lun-blacklist=
# "target-port-wwn,lun-list"
#
# To prevent LUNs 1 and 2 from being configured for target
# port 510000f010fd92a1 and target port 510000e012079df1, set:
#
# pwwn-lun-blacklist=
# "510000f010fd92a1,1,2",
# "510000e012079df1,1,2";
"/kernel/drv/fp.conf" 80 lines, 2634 characters
#
# /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all -mt 32 -ml 1
The file ./st.conf should be appended to /kernel/drv/st.conf.
A reboot may be necessary to create any new device files.
Created file ./sg.conf.
Created file ./sg.links.
# /usr/bin/rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf
#
#  /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install

        Copied files to /kernel/drv/amd64.

Doing add_drv of the sg driver
Removing old /dev/sg entries.
Editing /etc/devlink.tab...
Copying original /etc/devlink.tab to /etc/devlink.tab.09-24-13-15:30:45.
Added entry in /etc/devlink.tab file.
Made links in /dev/sg
#  /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan
/dev/sg/c0t0l0: Disk (/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0): "ATA     HITACHI H7220AA3"
/dev/sg/c0t1l0: Disk (/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0): "ATA     HITACHI H7220AA3"

/dev/sg/c5t6l0: Disk (/dev/rdsk/c6t6d0): "ATA     HITACHI H7220AA3"
#

    But the drives still not there ...

    it's also possible to communicate with the tape drives from the OS:

    # mt -f /dev/rmt/0cbn status
/dev/rmt/0cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline
# mt -f /dev/rmt/1cbn status
/dev/rmt/1cbn: no tape loaded or drive offline

    We have an other master server which have the same hardware, patchlevel and so on and there we're able to configure the same robot without any issues.

    From this dir:

     

    cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver

    Please post up the contents of sg.conf and sg.links

    + the output of cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev

    Try these, replace the files in /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver

    sg.conf file

    Then :

    ksh
    modunload -i $(echo $(modinfo |grep "sg (SCSA" |awk '{print $1}'))
    mv /kernel/drv/sg.conf /kernel/drv/sg.conf.old
    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install
     
    Check drives are visible with scan
     
    OR, Mariannes method ...  but do NOT run the sg.build command, I have done that part manually
     
    # /usr/bin/rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf
    # /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install
     
    Check/verify config:
     
    # /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan

    i'm perplexed ...

    So am I now ...

    The file should be ok, I copied it off (working) server and just changed the WWNs

    OK, change this in sg.links :

    type=ddi_pseudo;name=sg;addr=w500104f000d1335a,0;       sg/c\N0t\A1l0
    type=ddi_pseudo;name=sg;addr=w500104f000d1335b,1;       sg/c\N0t\A1l1
    type=ddi_pseudo;name=sg;addr=w500104f000d1335d,0;       sg/c\N0t\A1l0
    type=ddi_pseudo;name=sg;addr=w500104f000d1335e,1;       sg/c\N0t\A1l1
     
    To this 
     
    type=ddi_pseudo;name=sg;addr=w500104f000d1335a,0;       sg/c\N0t\A1l0
    type=ddi_pseudo;name=sg;addr=w500104f000d1335d,0;       sg/c\N0t\A1l0
     
    And like wise in sg.conf
    name="sg" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500104f000d1335a";
    name="sg" parent="fp" target=0 lun=1 fc-port-wwn="500104f000d1335b";
    name="sg" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500104f000d1335d";
    name="sg" parent="fp" target=0 lun=1 fc-port-wwn="500104f000d1335e";
     
    to
     
    name="sg" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500104f000d1335a";
    name="sg" parent="fp" target=0 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="500104f000d1335d";
     
    Is anything created in /dev/sg - I guess not, but had better ask.
