Title
Cannot add tape library connected to a filer to Netvault -
Description
Cannot add a tape library that is connected to a Netapp filer to Netvault as a tape library
We see the following error in the logs:
Severe Error 2006/08/24 08:50:19 0 Media SVR-BACKUP-02 Exceeding license for DSD(TM) (have '4' licensed for '0')
-
Cause
When trying to add the NDMP drives to the filer manually using the "scan filer only" option, Netvault actually added the drives as SCSI drives and NDMP drives to the changer ("mc0")
-
Resolution
WORKAROUND:1) Add the drives automatically2) Select "Manage Devices" and changed view into "Tree View"3) Select the changer (usually called "mc0") and click "modify"4) Delete the automatically added drives5) Click "View Drives" to view the changer (in this case called "MC0")6) Action click to "open" the changer node to browse the available SCSI and NDMP nodes and the associated drives7) Run the "storage alias" command on the connected filer to determine which NDMP channel (eg: st0) is mapped to which drive serial number8) Then add the corresponding drives to the Library in the order determined by the serial number to the drive bays as shown in the Tape Library GUI
