First time setting up mhvtl in redhat 5.3
 
|
Hi,
I am new to this vtl tool, and has some questions: 1. Where can I find a detailed configuration guide for mhvtl? For example, the syntax for device.conf, library_contents.xx , how mhvtl search each library_contents.xx? 2. I setup my mhvtl like this: in /etc/mhvtl , I leave device.conf and library_contents.40 and mhvtl.conf there, removing all others: Contents of device.conf like: Library: 40 CHANNEL: 2 TARGET: 00 LUN: 00 Vendor identification: STK Product identification: L700 Product revision level: 0029 Unit serial number: 60000040 NAA: 40:11:22:33:ab:2:00:00 Drive: 41 CHANNEL: 2 TARGET: 00 LUN: 01 Library ID: 40 Slot: 01 Vendor identification: QUANTUM Product identification: DLT-S4 Product revision level: 0A0A Unit serial number: 60000041 NAA: 40:11:22:33:ab:2:00:01 Compression: factor 1 enabled 1 Drive: 42 CHANNEL: 2 TARGET: 00 LUN: 2 Library ID: 40 Slot: 2 Vendor identification: QUANTUM Product identification: DLT-S4 Product revision level: 0A0A Unit serial number: 60000042 NAA: 40:11:22:33:ab:2:00:2 Compression: factor 1 enabled 1 Contents of library_contents.40 like: Drive1: Drive2: MAP 1: MAP 2: MAP 3: MAP 4: MAP 5: Picker 1: Slot 1: QUT001S4 Slot 2: QUT002S4 Slot 3: QUT003S4 Slot 4: QUT004S4 Slot 5: QUT005S4 Slot 6: QUT006S4 Slot 7: QUT007S4 Slot 8: QUT008S4 Slot 9: QUT009S4 Slot 10: QUT010S4 Slot 11: QUT011S4 Slot 12: QUT012S4 Slot 13: QUT013S4 Slot 14: QUT014S4 Slot 15: QUT015S4 Slot 16: QUT016S4 Slot 17: QUT017S4 Slot 18: QUT018S4 Slot 19: QUT019S4 Slot 20: CLN020S4 When I start mhvtl: [root@redhat5 mhvtl]# /etc/init.d/mhvtl stop /etc/init.d/mhvtl: line 179: [: -lt: unary operator expected shutdown of mhvtl Sending exit to 41 Sending exit to 42 Sending exit to 40 [root@redhat5 mhvtl]# /etc/init.d/mhvtl start /etc/init.d/mhvtl: line 179: [: -lt: unary operator expected vtllibrary process PID is 7025 There must be something wrong.

There is no 'DLT' emulation at the moment. The documentation I have found is very generic and not enough to correctly code to. Try Ait, ultrium, Stk 9x40/T1000 or IBM 03592 As for documentation. Yep, it can do with improving. try 'man' pages, or ask here :) Sent from my iPad On Nov 8, 2011, at 20:14, "victor_mhvtl_2011 [via MHVTL - Linux Virtual Tape Library - CommunityForums]" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Mark,
Sorry to ask a foolish question: How can I access "man" pages? I tried to man mhvtl or man device.conf, no result. Regards Victor |
