Hi,
I have 2 servers (HPUX and Redhat) connected to 2 partitions on a Quantum i2000, the HPUX has 12 tape drives attached and Redhat (6) has 4.
I moved 2 of the tapes drives from Partiton1 (HPUX) to Partition2 (Redhat) which was successful and I can see 6 drives attached to Redhat and 10 to HPUX from the i2000.
My problem is that although I can see the 2 drives from robtest and /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan on the Redhat server they are not being discovered by the Redhat server itself. Ive done numerous Redhat rescans (I am a RHEL admin) but am still unable to see the 2 new tape drives.
Im told that I will need to reboot the Redhat box which I find strange as discovering new LUN's is straight forward but apparently discovering tape drives needs a reboot??
Any information or advice would be appreciated...
Except from /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan where HU1145KDDJ and HU1149KWK4 are the new drives.
