HP SMART ARRAY P212 CONTROLLER - SLES 11 SP1

SUSE Linux Enterprise Extensions SLES Hardware
1

Hi,

I have a HP DL 585 server wich has* LTO 4 tape *drive installed. It
shows the HBA controller in hardware level. But after *SLES 11
*installed it was not showing (checked with Yast hardware information
and /proc/scsi/scsi), which shows only the DVD and SAN. So I manually
added it using the information within this forum

Download and unpack prm:

-rpm2cpio cpq_cciss-4.6.22-6.sles11.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

–no-absolute-filenames

cd opt/hp/storage_drivers/cciss-4.6.22_2009_12_11/install-

“Install” startup scripts manually:
-# cp -f ./cciss_hotplug /sbin/cciss_hotplug

cp -f ./cciss_phys_devs /sbin/cciss_phys_devs

cp -f ./cciss_scsi /etc/init.d/cciss_scsi

mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man8/

cp -f ./cciss_*8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/

chown root:root /sbin/cciss_hotplug

chmod 755 /sbin/cciss_hotplug

chown root:root /etc/init.d/cciss_scsi

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/cciss_scsi

chkconfig --add cciss_scsi-

Now reboot or start script manually:
-# /etc/init.d/cciss_scsi start -

Then it was working fine till we make it the new SAP production server
which may caused some file replacements from old production server to
this server. ( I have troubleshooted few issues successfully because of
this)

How ever as again the HBA card/array controller is not showing there
and I tried with the same.
It gives following error now.

Hi
The ‘WARNINGS’? have you tried starting the service?

/etc/init.d/cciss_scsi start

PS, if you post text output use the code tags :wink:

Hi Malcom,

Thanks for your help. I tried the command but it also giving a
warning.
[color=blue]

sapprdsvr:~ # /etc/init.d/cciss_scsi start
sapprdsvr:~ # cciss_hotplug: The format of /proc/scsi/scsi is not as
expected.
cciss_hotplug: Will not remove any devices, as accidentally removing a
disk would be bad.[/color]

But I just checked the devices and now it shows tape, st0 and nst0.
So I tried taking a backup and re-store the same.
But I’m afraid that I may need to do this repeatedly after every reboot
of the server. It’s a production server with 100+ users online 24 hrs.
So, hard to test it as needed.
Also when I use the command -tar -cfz /dev/st0 tape_test-, it gives
following warning
TAR: REMOVING LEADING `/’ FROM MEMBER NAMES

PS: Please tell me how to use code tags :slight_smile:

C. C. Illeperuma

Hi
Just used the ‘Go Advanced’ button on the bottom right when you select
a reply, then select as indicated in ‘Advanced edit options’
(http://paste.opensuse.org/84859178)

Do you see the device appear in the output of dmesg;

Code:

dmesg |grep TAPE
