NBU 7.6.0.1 cannot auto detect FalconStor VTL-S

[ndt]

Hi,

Please guide me how to install and configure the sg and the st drivers so that NBU can see VTL.

The following is my action:

bash-3.2# /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all -mt 15 -ml 15

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

bash-3.2# cat /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/st.conf

Replace the following seven entries in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file with all of the entries from the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/st.conf file:

bash-3.2# cp /kernel/drv/st.conf /kernel/drv/st.conf.03July2014

bash-3.2# cp /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/st.conf /kernel/drv/st.conf

Reboot

bash-3.2# reboot -- -r

bash-3.2#

bash-3.2# /usr/bin/rm -f /kernel/drv/sg.conf
bash-3.2# /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install

        Copied files to /kernel/drv/amd64.

Doing add_drv of the sg driver

Please show us output of the following:

# cd /dev/rmt
# ls -l *cbn

Please let us know if you are running Solaris Sparc or x86.

Herewith my steps that have always worked for me:

# cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver
# /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sg.build all 
******  Here you may need to add -mt and/or -ml depending on /dev/rmt output  *****

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

hello..

i have a similar problem ... i have storageTEK SL150 tape library contains one HP ulterum 5 tape drive conncted to a T-5 Sparc server with solaris 10 .. the server can see the tape drive and the medum changer robot.. but the netbackup can see only the tape drive as a stand alone tape drive ...

here is my /dev/rmt directory

ls -l /dev/rmt

i tried to uninstall the sg drivers and install them again but no luck
