How to eject a tape drive manually on DR / QoreStor -
说明
Tape drive is not unloading from NDMP VTL, and there is no way to eject using the DR / QoreStor UI. -
解决办法
You can try using the mtx command to unload the tape.
If the mtx command is not available, you should be able to add it with "yum install mtx".
After you unload it with mtx, then you should be able to bring it online in for example NetVault (or other Backup software).Identify the library to use
service@QoreStor > lsscsi -g | grep medium
[15:0:1:0] mediumx STK L700 0104 /dev/sch1 /dev/sg23
[15:0:2:0] mediumx STK L700 0104 /dev/sch0 /dev/sg12
[15:0:3:0] mediumx STK L700 0104 /dev/sch2 /dev/sg34
[15:0:4:0] mediumx STK L700 0104 /dev/sch3 /dev/sg45
Check it’s status using the scsi generic (Mtx might need to be installed on QS instance)
