You don't have a managed hot-plug backplane, or if you do, the controller doesn't recognize it, doesn't support it, or you've disabled it in the controller setup. A supported (by the controller itself, not the FreeBSD driver) managed backplane is the only way for a drive insertion to automatically trigger a rebuild. You might want to also make sure you've got all the latest firmware/BIOS/bootblock/setup images flashed into the controller if you think you've got everything set up right. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

I do not use it myself but it has been reported many times to run as a charme. I got a benchmark test where the 3ware controller was more than two times faster (mirror) than one of the "smaller" scsi controllers. Thinking at the trouble I hat the last days with my mylex and the attached backplane I would definitely consider the 3ware, not speaking about the price :). 3ware even offers a web admin-interface which is a big advantage because most scsi-RAID controllers lack userland tools at the moment. As I said, I did not test it myself so please korrekt me if something was wrong. /ch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Tue May 22 11:39:51 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from siamese.engr.3ware.com (mail.3ware.com [209.213.222.214]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2DC7037B43C; Tue, 22 May 2001 11:39:44 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jdchung@3WARE.com) Received: by siamese with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) id ; Tue, 22 May 2001 11:39:43 -0700 Message-ID: <53B208BD9A7FD311881A009027B6BBFB644989@siamese> From: Jeffrey Chung To: 'Mike Smith' , Reverend K Kanno Cc: scsi@freebsd.org Subject: RE: 3ware Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 11:39:35 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C0E2EE.8CA56FC0" Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org This message is in MIME format.

We're the folks with the lost command problem, and even though we are having a strange problem with the controller, I'd recommend the 3ware controller. For about the price of 1 SCSI 75 GB disk drive we got a 4 channel controller and four 75 GB IDE disks. While it isn't working yet, I'm confident that 3ware will get it resolved.

Make sure that you've set the tape to variable record mode- do an 'mt status' to see what it's set to, and set recordsize to '0'.

I have a strange problem with Tandberg SLR 100 + dump(8) program. The drive operates normally with mt(1): the tape can be erased,rewinded, ejected and etc. But dump freezes on "PASS III - dumping directories" and the kernel writes the following message: (sa0:sym0:0:0:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state.

If I got it right the driver does not recognize my backplane (ESG-SHV SCA HSBP M14) correctly and therefore it is set to offline mode. That causes the automatic rebuild funktion to fail - the backplane does not recognize anything if a new drive is inserted. After days of tears I finally got a working patch thanks to Markus (msmeyer@gmx.net) (the patch is attached). The channel/SCSI-ID of the backplane is hardcoded and the initialization of the backplane is skipped. Everything works great but I just wanted to make sure that this patch can be used on a production system and does not introduce other critical problems. If anyone knows a better approach I would be glad to know about it. /ch ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C0E3C4.9B6A6430 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="mly.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mly.patch" *** backup/mly_cam.c Wed May 23 16:42:08 2001=0A= --- patch/mly_cam.c Wed May 23 19:11:23 2001=0A= ***************=0A= *** 243,248 ****=0A= --- 243,258 ----=0A= bus =3D cam_sim_bus(sim);=0A= target =3D csio->ccb_h.target_id;=0A= =0A= + #define MLY_ESGSHV=0A= + #define MLY_ESGSHV_TARGET 6=0A= + #define MLY_ESGSHV_LUN 0=0A= + =0A= + #ifdef MLY_ESGSHV=0A= + /* If this is the ID of the backplane, ignore command */=0A= + if (csio->ccb_h.target_id =3D=3D MLY_ESGSHV_TARGET &&=0A= + ccb->ccb_h.target_lun =3D=3D MLY_ESGSHV_LUN) break;=0A= + #endif=0A= + =0A= debug(2, "XPT_SCSI_IO %d:%d:%d", bus, target, ccb->ccb_h.target_lun);=0A= =0A= /* check for I/O attempt to a protected device */=0A= ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C0E3C4.9B6A6430-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Wed May 23 14:29: 9 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from post.mail.nl.demon.net (post-10.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B668437B423; Wed, 23 May 2001 14:29:07 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wkb@freebie.demon.nl) Received: from [212.238.54.101] (helo=freebie.demon.nl) by post.mail.nl.demon.net with smtp (Exim 3.22 #1) id 152gBm-0005Qs-00; Wed, 23 May 2001 21:29:06 +0000 Received: (from wkb@localhost) by freebie.demon.nl (8.11.3/8.11.2) id f4NLYUS01266; Wed, 23 May 2001 23:34:30 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from wkb) Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 23:34:30 +0200 From: Wilko Bulte To: Clemens Hermann Cc: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org, msmeyer@gmx.net, msmith@freebsd.org Subject: Re: quick mly hack Message-ID: <20010523233430.G832@freebie.demon.nl> References: <000201c0e3b3$e3e59920$3301a8c0@pcch> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i In-Reply-To: <000201c0e3b3$e3e59920$3301a8c0@pcch>; from haribeau@gmx.de on Wed, May 23, 2001 at 08:11:52PM +0200 X-OS: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE X-PGP: finger wilko@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, May 23, 2001 at 08:11:52PM +0200, Clemens Hermann wrote: I'm not sure what Mike thinks, but maybe it is a good idea to 'sendpr' this patch/problem so that it is recorded?

Amanda works well, tho I did not had to check on restore yet :) I think the restore works a bit like retore(8) does. You select the files you want from a list then extract, and it will prompt you for the tapes (or get them from your tape charger). One good point, the user list is *active*, developpers do answer questions, even stupid questions that could be solved by RTFM (I did ask such question :) I had it compiled on FreeBSD (various flavors), Solaris (old, including SunOS 4.1). I heard there is issue with older Linux kernel. >used with a decent sized tape library, probably LTO based, and FreeBSD >4.3-STABLE. Dunno what LTO is, my Amanda server is FBSD 4.3 According to a friend, best commercial would be by Veritas, tho their FreeBSD client is old (3.3).

This was discussed, although probably for a lower level, on the freebsd-stable mailing list recently. I believe that the more expensive Veritas tool was suggested, since it apparently has a native FreeBSD agent. I have used a number of changers; my favorite (of a small sample) is the Qualstar. If you don't want to spend much money some interesting changers appear on eBay, up to and including a StorageTek unit with a base capacity of 3 TB, maintenance-ready. I have an ADIC VLS DLT for my home system which cost $200, has a single DLT III XT - tapes are cheap. (I have no idea if the StorageTek unit can be controlled by FreeBSD; the ADIC unit is no problem. ADIC was very helpful to me, even though the unit was purchased used.)

Been using Amanda to backup a few FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x and Slowaris boxes, no problems; my drive is a 4xDDS2 python. There's an ftp-ish client for specifying files/dirs to restore which works OK, though it always takes me a little while to get used to the options I have to specify. Had to do a major restore when I lost an entire disk -- was *very* happy Amanda had been doing its thing, automatically, every night. :-) I like the fact that Amanda stores in a slightly enhanced "dump" format, just prepending a label to each tape, and a directory entry to each file. If you really lose everything, you can do some "mt fsf" to get to the right tape file, then a "dd" to skip the header, then finally a "restore" to copy the data to disk. I believe Legato uses a proprietary tape format so if you're hosed you have to restore Legato before you can restore the tape.

This has led me to miss a couple of FC-AL bugs. Oops. THe 2100 actually can work on any switch that support both public loop &AND& provide aliasing (Brocades && Ancors do). The 2100 only has hardware to insert 8 bit AL_PAs (the low 8 bits of a D_ID) into frames, but the switches add the rest. The QLA2200 is supported (and has full 24 bit D_ID addressing), and that also is known to work with the above switches and even the McData (which requires you to do an FC4 login). The switches must support the SNS subcommand of GET ALL NEXT - that's how the fabric is probed. Also, the login policy is in the HBA, not in the upper layers, and is a "First Come, First Logged into" policy. There's room for 253 devices in the QLogic 2X00. The 2100, or the 2200 in FL-port configuration, can only support fabric devices from ids 129..255 (the way this works is that the QLogic f/w automatically logs into local loop members- but fabric devices you have to explicitly log into), but the 2200, connected as an F-port, can also use up slots 0..125. -matt On Thu, 24 May 2001, Lauri Laupmaa wrote: > Hi > > Is there any fibrechannel cards which have switch fabric support under > FreeBSD ? > I know that qla2100 has fc-al support... > > -- > L. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-scsi Thu May 24 15:47:23 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org Received: from mail.wolves.k12.mo.us (mail.wolves.k12.mo.us [207.160.214.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3249A37B422; Thu, 24 May 2001 15:47:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us) Received: from mail.wolves.k12.mo.us (cdillon@mail.wolves.k12.mo.us [207.160.214.1]) by mail.wolves.k12.mo.us (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA35999; Thu, 24 May 2001 17:47:07 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us) Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 17:47:07 -0500 (CDT) From: Chris Dillon To: Cc: , Subject: Re: Seeking recommendations for backup system In-Reply-To: <13991.990660758@verdi.nethelp.no> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Thu, 24 May 2001 sthaug@nethelp.no wrote: > I'm seeking recommendation for a backup system (software) that can > be used with a decent sized tape library, probably LTO based, and > FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE. > > I'm sure we could roll our based on freely available tools (eg. > Amanda) - but by now I'm used to Tivoli ADSM/TSM, and *like* the > convenience ADSM/TSM offers.

I just mentioned this to someone else who asked a similar question elsewhere, but Veritas NetBackup (NOT BackupExec -- different animal) has a native FreeBSD 3.2 agent that works very well on FreeBSD 3.2 and up (I use it with 4.3-STABLE at the moment). They've got backup agents for a whole mess of platforms. You can also use any combination of NT, Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX servers. You've pretty much got the run of the park on that one. :-) If you call up Veritas, they should be more than happy to send you a time-limited (90 days, IIRC) demo. I asked for one before we decided to buy it and they shipped the CDs and demo license keys to me next-day. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

Have you tried removing 'device pass' from your kernel? That helped stop the long boot delays and some other errors I used to see relating to my enclosure controller.
