by Hi,
I'd like to find out if there's a way to scan tapes and
recover data from a legato networker tape, while booted
from a Solaris 7 CD. I've seen some documentation on how
to do this, but was unable to get the instructions to
work using the devices we have.
The system being used is a Sun E5000 server running
Solaris 7, and attached is a Qualstar Jukebox with a
Sony SDX-300C tape drive. There's a custom st.conf
entry required to set up the Sony tape device. While
booted from CD, I've put the customized st.conf file into
place in /tmp/kernel/drv, and I've done a modunload,
and modload, of the st driver, giving the path to
/tmp/kernel/drv so that the customized st.conf file
would be read in when the st driver was loaded. This
doesn't seem to have worked however. Whenever I
scan the tapes, I get a "ENOMEM" error message, and
the scanner command ends without returning any SSID
numbers.
If anyone knows of a way to set this up, I'd appreciate
hearing about it.
Thanks a lot,
Carol
