Configuring the NonStop BladeSystem Cluster I/O Module
If the NonStop BladeSystem is used as the host server and the Cluster I/O Module (CLIM) will be
used, you must configure the virtual tape drives on the NonStop. Complete the following steps to do
so:
1. Verify that the serial number specified for each virtual tape drive (in VTS) is unique.
2. Verify that the CLIM is connected to the VTS server using a Fibre Channel cable.
3. Issue the following command on BladeSystem server to verify the list of devices, including
those configured in VTS:
CLIMCMD clim_name lunmgr -f
Here is an example of the output:
dev type stable address controller serial # revision
sg0 3 tape CPQNSD 5257 #VFHP00 slot 1, port 1 VFHP00 VT36
sg1 3 tape CPQNSD 5257 #VFHP01 slot 1, port 1 VFHP01 VT36
sg2 3 tape CPQNSD 5257 #VFHP02 slot 1, port 1 VFHP02 VT36
sg3 3 tape CPQNSD 5257 #VFHP03 slot 1, port 1 VFHP03 VT36
sg5 3 tape CPQNSD 5257 #VFHP04 slot 1, port 1 VFHP04 VT36
4. If you do not see devices, issue the following command to scan the devices and detect new
devices:
CLIMCMD clim_name lunmgr -s
5. If the devices are not listed again, issue the following command, which enables you to set
LUNs:
CLIMCMD clim_name lunmgr -a, VERBOSE
6. If the last two steps were successful, issue the SCF command to add a tape. Here is an
example:
SCF ADD TAPE $VFHP00, SENDTO STORAGE, CLIM S1002531, LUN 1, PRIMARYCPU
2,BACKUPCPU 2.
7. Start the virtual tape drive. If a 224 error occurs, delete the drive and make sure steps 4 and
5 are successful.
