I have an HP Proliant DL380 with Intel Processors that I recently loaded Solaris 10 with latest patches on it. I'm trying to do a ufsdump to an HP DAT 40 tape drive via SCSI, but I can't get it to do anything because /dev/rmt is empty. I've tried the following with luck:
touch /reconfigure, reboot
reboot -r
editing st.conf, reboot
The SCSI card is
While booting, it will initally come up and say "Tape Drive Detected - SCSI Port 1 - SCSI ID 3. However toward the end of the boot process it says "Smart Array 5i Controller - WARNING: Bus=1 Device =3 Function=0"
I hope some of this information is helpful. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
first bring the system to the OBP and check whether the drive can be probed or not.
eg on Sun h/w , you will do probe-scsi-all
or from the OS,type the cfgadm -all ,
the tape drives and fc modules should up as connected/configured
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
pci4:hpc0_slot0 unknown connected unconfigured unknown
pci4:hpc0_slot1 unknown connected unconfigured unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/3 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/4 unknown empty unconfigured ok
In addition, I have the system running in Single User Mode, but the "probe" command doesn't work. Are there other commands that I can use to get some useful information?
Nope, you're wrong. Do a probe-scsi-all from the ok> prompt (this is for solaris / sun h/w)
For HP, think you will need to install the driver perhaps..
Ok, let me rephrase it: I've not gotten probe to work as of yet. I'm not running Sun H/W, so when I'm in Single User Mode there isn't an ok> prompt. However when I do attempt to run probe-scsi-all from SUM, it tells me "probe: command not found" because I'm actaully at the root prompt.
