Solstice Backup 5.1 Installation and Release Notes

Device Driver Installation

If you plan to use an autochanger or silo with a Backup server or storage node for data backup and recovery, you may need to install the device driver software package (SUNWsbus2) on the Backup server or storage node where the device is attached.

Backup supports autochangers connected either by SCSI or serial (RS-232) ports. If your autochanger is connected with SCSI, you must install a driver for the SCSI port.

If your autochanger is connected through a serial port, you do not need to install the device driver package. Simply skip the remaining instructions that apply to the device driver installation. However, you need to follow the hardware instructions that were shipped with your autochanger to configure and connect the machine to the Backup server or storage node. You must also properly enable and register your Backup Jukebox Software Module product.

How to Install Device Driver Software

To install the device driver software on the machine with the device attached:

  1. Become root on the Backup server or storage node machine.

  2. If you have a previous release of the Backup device driver package installed, remove the old device driver package before you install the new driver.

    See "How to Remove the Backup Software" for instructions.

  3. Install the current release of the device driver software (SUNWsbus2) from the Backup distribution files.

  4. Enable the optional Backup software (Jukebox Software Module or Silo Support Module).

  5. Fax or mail a copy of your registration window to the Licensing Center to register the optional Backup software and receive the permanent authorization code.

How to Verify the Device Drivers Are Properly Installed

After you install the device driver software, follow these steps to verify that the drivers are properly installed:

  1. Enter the following command:


    # /etc/LGTOuscsi/lusdebug 1

    You should see the following response:


    debug level was 0; is now 1

  2. Enter the following command:


    # /etc/LGTOuscsi/lusdebug 0

    You should see the following response:


    debug level was 1; is now 0

  3. Enter the following command:


    # /etc/LGTOuscsi/inquire

    A list of SCSI devices attached to your server, if any, appears on your screen. If you attached your autochanger or silo before you installed the device driver software, the devices should appear in the list.

    For example:


    scsidev@0.0.0:FUJITSU M2263S-512 01 | Direct Access
scsidev@0.4.0:Quantum DLT4700 | Sequential Access
scsidev@0.4.1:Quantum TZ Media Changer | Changer Device
