Hi,

I have two questions.

1) I have a SCSI adapter installed on a Solaris 10 box that I use to attach an LTO4 tape drive. What command do I use to find out the model of the SCSI adapter?

2) How can I find out how much data has been written to an LTO4 tape after a backup job?

Thanks.

Well,

I can answer the first question. And I am no SUN expert, so be advised. But this should help you:

You will need to install the sun device detection utility due to the lack of scsi probe utilities.

BigAdmin HCL: Sun Device Detection Tool


Also,

Try running this as root:

Have a look and let us know,

Hi,

It seems like the Sun Device Detection Tool only runs from X and not from command line. We cannot run X on the server. There might be a way to install it, but I am a Windows admin and don't know much about Solaris.

This is the output I got from your command:

Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown

c4 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown

Hey,

I am going to install a SUN virtual machine on my personal system. I need to test this stuff. However, like I said, I am no Solaris admin. However I am very interested. So stand by, I will have a fully operational sun system soon.

As of now,
Try this page. Should Help.
Please let me know if it does.......................
