Verifying The Device Configuration
Adding Standard Tape Drives (2.6 kernel)
Tape devices have multiple device files. However, NetBackup uses only the /dev/nstX
file where X is a decimal number from 0 to 127.
Verifying The Device Configuration
The file /proc/scsi/scsi shows all devices recognized by the SCSI driver. 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 displayed should be similar to the following example:
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 can see your SCSI devices, Media Manager device discovery will
also see the devices.
Other Considerations (Advanced Topics)
You may require the following advanced topics.
Support for Additional Tape Devices
The st tape driver supports up to 32 tape devices in its default configuration. This
configuration provides eight minor device numbers. The driver can be re-configured to
support up to 64 tape devices (with four minor device numbers) or up to 128 tape devices
(with two minor device numbers).
