Exporting MHVTL devices via pscsi?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there,


I am trying to make MHVTL (https://sites.google.com/site/linuxvtl2/) work
under LIO.

MHVTL emulates virtual tape libraries and currently it can integrate with
stgt framework. 

Here's what has been emulated on my test machine (Ubuntu 12.04LTS):

root@vUbuntu:~# lsscsi -g

[1:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  NECVMWar VMware IDE CDR10 1.00  /dev/sr0  /dev/sg0

[2:0:0:0]    disk    VMware,  VMware Virtual S 1.0   /dev/sda  /dev/sg1

[3:0:0:0]    mediumx STK      L700             0104  /dev/sch0  /dev/sg10

[3:0:1:0]    tape    IBM      ULT3580-TD5      0104  /dev/st0  /dev/sg2

[3:0:2:0]    tape    IBM      ULT3580-TD5      0104  /dev/st1  /dev/sg3

[3:0:3:0]    tape    IBM      ULT3580-TD4      0104  /dev/st2  /dev/sg4

[3:0:4:0]    tape    IBM      ULT3580-TD4      0104  /dev/st3  /dev/sg5

[3:0:8:0]    mediumx STK      L80              0104  /dev/sch1  /dev/sg11

[3:0:9:0]    tape    STK      T10000B          0104  /dev/st4  /dev/sg6

[3:0:10:0]   tape    STK      T10000B          0104  /dev/st5  /dev/sg7

[3:0:11:0]   tape    STK      T10000B          0104  /dev/st6  /dev/sg8

[3:0:12:0]   tape    STK      T10000B          0104  /dev/st7  /dev/sg9

 

With targetcli, I would imagine I'll have to use pscsi (iblock seems to only
work with disk devices) to export the tape lib and drives. However when I
try to add the backstores, I got following errors:

/backstores/pscsi> create name=tapelib1 dev=/dev/sg2

Cannot find SCSI device by path, and dev parameter not in H:C:T:L format:
/dev/sg2.

/backstores/pscsi> create name=tapelib1 dev=3:0:0:0

SCSI device does not exist.

 

As a matter of fact, even the disk could not be added:

/backstores/pscsi> create name=disk1 dev=/dev/sg1

Cannot find SCSI device by path, and dev parameter not in H:C:T:L format:
/dev/sg1.

 

Am I missing anything? Or is pscsi not supported at all?

 

Thanks,

 

Sean
