A quick follow-up in case anyone else is trying to use IBM tape device within a KVM guest. I didn't get SCSI passthrough below working, but there were two alternatives recommended to me: (1) Use PCI passthrough to give the KVM guest dedicated access to the Fibre Channel HBA PCI card. PCI passthrough seems to be more solid. (2) Use ISCSI to share the tape devices and tape changer

Hello, i'm trying to configure a host SCSI device (tape drive) so that it is available in a KVM guest VM, but am receiving an error when attempting to attach the device. My guest xml has the following scsi controller defined: <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'> <alias name='scsi0'/> <address type='pci'

Hi, Hi, I have been googling, and can't find anything that will help me: mt -f /dev/st0 status /dev/st0: No such device or address Any suggestion? I am using CentOS 3 [RHEL ES3 without the licenses] The tape drive is recognized at boot [from dmesg] scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 <Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7892:

Anybody know, how I can hook up my tape drive (which is /dev/st0 on my LINUX box) so that I can do remote backups through samba for my WinNT/95 LAN? Thanx' Adrian Lattke

hi all, i want to use a compaq sdlt 320 under centos. the tape drive was already installed and after rebooting i was not able to see it(dmesg | grep tape or dmesg | grep scsi). i add the correct module (modprobe st) but i'm not able to use with mt. the st0 file is missing, can someone help to resolve this issue. thanks ?

Hi All, I have a Quantum scalar i40 tape library. I need to configure it to TWO tape partition libraries, e.g., library_a and library_b, so that each library has its own tape drive. Then connect this physical tape library to two different CentOS servers so that each server can see its own media changer and tape drive. I once had a successful configuration on one host but NOT on the other. One

Hi, after installing centos 4.2 I've noticed that my internal Seagate scsi DAT 72GB tape drive hasn't been recognised in /media or doesn't show up in gnome when putting in a tape. Do I need to edit fstab first or load additional modules in the kernel during startup? regards, Geert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello all, today I've been sitting at work and upgrading a very-very-very old server with RedHat Linux 6.2 installed up to CentOS 3.8. The process went smoothly, as it is not the first time I was doing the things like this. Just after upgrading I went to rpm -qai list and got an interesting observation: there are at least two "tar" utilities installed on the system. One is tar, and

I have gotten a hard system lockup several times using star on my system with a Quantum DLT-V4 SATA tape drive. I am including what got recorded in /var/log/messages from the most recent event showing stack trace.

Hi, For some time now (starting with the 3.10 or 3.11 kernels, but I'm not sure) I have the following problem: I have a machine with 6 SATA slots and two SAS controllers, one onboard HBA and one RAID controller in a PCIe slot. The problem is that the order of the SAS controllers changes randomly after a reboot, so the SCSI addresses of the devices change. One time lsscsi prints (empty

Hi I have check and Star Trek Bridge Commander is listed as working under wine, however, I can install it, and the 1.1 patch, I can run the game and it will process the startup vids, however the program then seems to freeze only showing some of the graphics for the main menu? I am currently running Wine 1.3.26 and Lucid 10.04 32 bit. I have tried to execute stbc.exe from the Terminal and below

My unit's firmware: library 05.03, tape d22h, shows the device as set to random mode. But mtx -f /dev/st0 status gives an error that google says the device is in sequential mode. dmesg|grep -i hp does reflect CentOS thinks the device is a sequential unit. I've tried this with Fedora 8, too, and both show the same, so it is either an issue with CentOS/Fedora RPMs, or the version of

We're using RMAN to back up our 9.2 RAC database to an OCFS v1 volume. We have an existing shell script that we use for copying files from disk to tape via tar, one file at a time. (Don't ask why. It's a legacy script. Long story.) We're tweaking this script to use --o_direct when tarring the file to tape and that seems to be working fine: # tape device is /dev/nst0 $ tar

Hello Family, In yesterday's head thumper I had to attempt to (remotely) grab some wedding photo's for my wife from my Win2000 machine to Solaris-8 running Samba-2.2.2 The examples show the following; smbtar -s dumbo -t /dev/st0 -x windows That assumes your backing up a directory, the directory is on your (windows) C:\WINDOWS I just needed a few jpg's from another drive on my

I need to install an HP Surestore dlt on a Centos 4 machine and I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Can someone either provide or point me to an online reference on how to proceed to add and configure a SCSI adapter and tape drive. I have read, but not really understood, the man page entry for st. Does kudzu handle this? Regards, Jim I am a digest subscriber so the favour of an

I want to keep track of how long a task is running. Thinking it wouldn't take that long, I opted not to run time before it. The fact that it is taking a long time, if I revisit the machine in the morning, what would be the best way to find out what time it ended? In this case, I'm using mt to erase an lto3 tape - sudo mt -f /dev/st0 erase. But I'd like to use the knowledge from

Greetings, Does anyone know if it is possible to give a guest domain access to character device hardware such as a SCSI tape drive (/dev/st0 | /dev/nst0)? I have recompiled the guest xenU kernel with hardware access and declared the pci SCSI card in the config file directive as follows: pci = [ ''4,3,0'' ] The log file when started reports: [2005-11-01 17:24:57 xend] DEBUG

I do this manually: smbmount //Beverley/C /home/data pwd: "insert pwd" cp -ruv /home/samba/public /home/data smbumount /home/data This lets me do the following: make a copy of all my samba shares on the server to a client named Beverley C drive. ruv does the following recursive (all subdirectories and subfolders) unchanged (only write over when newer) verbose pwd: "insert
