I am definitely a Linux novice yet I am trying to configure a RHEL5 machine with the commercially licensed Zmanda application to backup to a Exabyte VXA320 drive. After many hours researching, I am stuck. It seems I have a problem with my SCSI bus configuration but that is about as far as my knowledge goes. Here are some details:
HP ML310 server with an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card and Exabyte VXA320 single tape drive cabled and terminated as an LV device.
The SCSI card is definitely recognized but the tape drive definitely is not.
/proc/scsi/scsi returns the following:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3250620NS Rev: n/a
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3250620NS Rev: n/a
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Why is the hard drive listed twice on separate hosts?
I've booted to the SCSI controller config but I am unsure what to change. It may be as simple as that.
Technically the tape drive I am using is unsupported by RHEL5 (
https://hardware.redhat.com/list.cgi...ent/Peripheral), but I also know most tape drives should work as generic st0 devices, right?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
