I'm running DP 9 on a Windows 2012 R2 virtual machine. This replaced the Cell Manager that Ed and I originally were pointing two when you put together the VNX Snapshot scripting for me.
I have a client running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 (updated to latest patches) on a physical server (Proliant DL380) that I'm trying to use as a media server to stream data to tape.
Server is connected to fibre channel switches and zoned to see two Quantum Scalar i80 tape libraries.
When I look in the dmesg output, I can see the libraries (changers and tape drives) showing up. However, when I try to use the matching device entries for the changer with the uma command, I get either one of two results, neither successes. The command I'm trying is:
echo stat x | /opt/omni/lbin/uma -tty -ioctl <device>
Using /dev/ch0: command executes, but never returns any information (ar at least not within 3 minutes when I aborted it)
Using /dev/sg5: command executes but immediately fails with generic "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" message
I have used this for the past 10 years in various versions of DP, but always from an HPUX server to an HPUX cell manager. When I upgraded to DP8 the cell manager moved to a Red Hat Linux VM, and still worked fine. Even more recently we rolled out the DP9 Windows-based cell manager, and I can do the above commands from a Cygwin shell running on the Windows server that is connected to the libraries through the same switches.
It is only from the Linux server that I'm having this problem.
Any thoughts?
