I have a brand new HP MSL 2024 LTO 4 SAS auto tape library attaching to Smart Array P212 on my DL180 G6 server running on FreeBSD8 p3.
I have no problem in using the tape drive thru "
I did upgrade the firmware version of the Smart Array P212 to the latest available. What kind of information should I provide?
What is going on and what else should I try?
I have no problem in using the tape drive thru "
mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
" or even " tar -cvf /dev/sa0 testing.txt
" while whenever I tried to access the loader thru " mtx -f /dev/ciss0 inquiry
" or " mtx -f /dev/sa0 inquiry
" without luck and I have also tried to use the chio with luck either.I did upgrade the firmware version of the Smart Array P212 to the latest available. What kind of information should I provide?
