try the cmds

You can find the HBA Details by the following commands in Linux.

 df -h

Or use the cmd " lspci"  to list all your pheripherals.

For HBA .lspci |grep -i -e fib -e hba

Thank you

Thanks a lot,

How does the netbackup find the Library ?

I'll have to DAS (Direct Actched Storage) because there is no Switch SAN

After installing the HBA, w/ drivers and stuff

what should be the next step??

Getting Started, Configure Storage Devices

if hardware is correctly installed, use the Netbackup Device Configuration Wizard during the install to discover the library.

I'll install

I 'll install a HBA FC

ok.. drivers compile and stuff..

How should I config the SL24 Library to Netbackup?

When I plug it will Netbackup find the Drive/ Robot?

There is no luxadm in red Hat Linux, I am really lost

Verifying the Linux drivers

To use SCSI tape drives and robotic libraries, the following drivers must be configured in the kernel or loaded as modules:

■ Linux SCSI generic (sg) driver. This driver allows pass-through commands to SCSI tape drives and control of robotic devices.

■ SCSI tape (st) driver. This driver allows the use of SCSI tape drives.

■ Standard SCSI driver.

■ SCSI-adaptor driver.

 

 

Verify that the drivers are installed and loaded in the kernel. You can use the

/sbin/lsmod

command to verify that the st and the sg drivers are loaded in the kernel. Example output is as follows:

 

Module Size Used by
sg    14844   0
st     24556   0

The standard Enterprise Linux releases have the sg and the st modules available for loading. The modules are loaded as needed. Also, you can load these modules if they are not in the kernel. Use the following commands:

/sbin/modprobe st
/sbin/modprobe sg

(from the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.)

Verifying the device configuration

The

/proc/scsi/scsifile shows all of the devices that the SCSI driver detects. To verify that the operating system can see the devices, run the following command from a terminal window to view this file:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

The output that is displayed should be similar to the following:

Attached devices:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00

Vendor: HP

Model: C7200-8000

Rev: 1040

Type:

Medium Changer

ANSI SCSI revision: 03

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00

Vendor: QUANTUM

Model: DLT8000

Rev: 010F

Type:

Sequential-Access

ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00

Vendor: QUANTUM

Model: DLT8000

Rev: 010F

Type:

Sequential-Access

ANSI SCSI revision: 02

 

If the operating system detects the SCSI devices, NetBackup can discover them.
