Today i have configured a C4 tape Library to a solaris server. We are running backup using networker 7.2.
The C4 tape library has got 38 slot with 2 drives.I made sure that all the connections are given properly with my colleagues working on hardware part.After that i logged into the server and i configured as root user.
Below i have mentioned steps on how to configure that.I have als o configured SL500 Tape library which i will include in my blog during the coming days
1)First take the output of cfgadm -al command output.After that,Run the networker command inquire which will display all the SCSI devices connected with the manufacturer name and its serial number.

This will reload the driver for the tape library.bash-2.05# cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured unknown c1 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c1::/dev/lus disk connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t2d0 disk connected configured unknown c1::dsk/c1t3d0 disk connected configured unknown c2 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c2::lus1 unknown connected configured unknown c3 fc-private connected configured unknown c3::100000e002236d82 med-changer connected configured unknown c4 fc connected unconfigured unknown usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[1] 2 14484:jbconfig: Scanning SCSI buses; this may take a while ... Installing 'Standard SCSI Jukebox' jukebox - scsidev@3.100.0.

Turn NetWorker auto-cleaning on (yes / no) [yes]? The drives in this jukebox cannot be auto-configured with the available information. You will need to provide the path for the drives.

(yes / no) [no] Please enter the device path information in one of the following formats: /dev/rmt/1cbn --for local path or host:device-path --for remote node or NDMP device(s) or host:drive-letter:directory path --for Windows disk file Drive 1, element 128 Drive path ? /dev/rmt/0cbn This path already exists in the database.

(yes / no) [no] Jukebox has been added successfully The following configuration options have been set: > Jukebox description to the control port and model. > Autochanger control port to the port at which we found it. > Networker managed tape autocleaning on. > Barcode reading to on. > Volume labels that match the barcodes. > Slot intended to hold cleaning cartridge to 38. Please insure that a cleaning cartridge is in that slot > Number of times we will use a new cleaning cartridge to 50. You can review and change the characteristics of the autochanger and its associated devices using the NetWorker Management Console.In the above "jbconfig" option you can select option 2 also but you will have to answer couple of questions.Thus the C4 tape library is configured and now after starting the backup you can see in the nwadmin & output that the C4 tape library with the 2 drives.
