drive configuration after drive crash

[Manfred_Ratzke]

Hello,

we had a crashed tape drive and did got it replaced.

with cfgadm -al we the the tape device an it is configured

cfgadm -al | grep tape

c6::500507631360b05e           tape         connected    configured   unknown

but then I got lost as I never did it to get a new drive into NB.

We are running Netbackup 4.5 (yes old but company policy) on Solaris 8.

I do not see it in sg.conf

I see it with tpconfig -dtpconfig -d
Index DriveName              DrivePath                Type    Shared   Status
***** *********              **********               ****    ******   ******
11   gaga10                 /dev/rmt/10cbn           hcart2   No       DOWN
        TLD(0) Definition       DRIVE=12

 in var/adm/messages it says:

Fatal open error on gaga10 (device 11, /dev/rmt/10cbn), errno = 6 (No such
device or address), DOWN'ing it

so I guess I have to do more work on solaris side ??

A quick seaqrch of the Support Tech Note site found:

thanks, I did check it before and look slike that Netbackup 4.5 does not know this command ?

anytime i try it vcomes back with:

tpautoconf -replace_drive IBMULTRIUM-TD25 -path /dev/rmt/12cbn

 bash # tpautoconf
Usage:
tpautoconf -get_gdbhost
tpautoconf -set_gdbhost host_name

This looks more specific to v4.5:

Hi,

greatfull, that  did help and now it works.

I guess the trick was to synchronize the global DB - I thought I couldnt do it but even SUN couldnt help us so I used this forum.

Thanks again
