Tape San conf problem with AS 4 u6


Task: To setup Veritas Netbackup media server on Linux AS4 u6

problem: Unable to get tape devices to configure to the correct
target and lun's in a tape san.

Configuration:

Server HP dl360
OS AS 4 update 6
HBA's 2 x Qlogic qla 2342 fiber cards connected to
2 x 3800 silkworm Brodcdes, which are connected
to 2 x crossroad 10000 fiber to scsi switches,
which are connected to 9 x SDLT320 tape drives in
a STK L700 tape library.

At present Linux can see only 2 tape drives, one down each Hba
at target 0.

I need Linux to find the tape devices at targets 120 and 121.

The Support people at Veritas and Qlogic have been no help.

Using scli I have tried to hard code the Hba's to the required
targets.

Don;t know if this is a problem with Qlogic bindings or maybe
the Linux st driver?

I have almost the same setup under Solaris 9, 1 Netbackup Master
and 4 Netbackup media servers in a shared tape san, using the same
brodcade fiber switches and crossroad 10000 switches. It's been
running great for years now.
I have different Hba's on the Solaris side, there we are using
Emulix lp9002's.


Aslo I am new to Linux, but have been a Solaris UNIX admin for 8
years now.
