Displaying information about attached tape drives and libraries
To display information about attached tape drives and tape libraries (medium changers), and their
associated serial numbers, enter the following command:
tpc008> storage show {tape | mc} [{alias | PPN | WWN}]
– alias is the logical name of the tape drive or medium changer.
– PPN is the physical path name.
– WWN is the worldwide name.
The following shows the result of a medium changer (mc) query:
Medium Changer: fcs009:0.129
Description: HP MSL G3 Series
Serial Number: CZJ04002H3
WWNN: 5:001:438007:5a2878
WWPN: 5:001:438007:5a2879
Alias Name(s): mc4
Device State: available
– Serial Number must match the device serial number of the configured library on the
StoreOnce backup system.
– Alias Name is the device file to be used in the DMA (NDMP client) configuration.
The following shows the result of a tape device (tape) query:
Tape Drive: fcs009:0.124
Description: HP Ultrium 4-SCSI
Serial Number: CZJ04002D1
WWNN: 5:001:438007:5a27ba
WWPN: 5:001:438007:5a27bb
Alias Name(s): st41
Device State: available
– Serial Number must match the device serial number of the configured tape device on the
StoreOnce backup system.
The Alias Name is the device file to be used in the DMA (NDMP client) configuration and can be
verified by issuing the following command:
tpc008> sysconfig –t
The sysconfig –t command displays device and configuration information for each tape drive.
If you have a tape device that Network Appliance has not qualified, the sysconfig -t command
output for that device is different from that for qualified devices. If the filer has never accessed this
device, the output indicates that this device is a non-qualified tape drive, even though there is an entry
for this device in the /etc/clone_tape file. Otherwise, the output provides information about the
qualified tape drive that is being emulated by this device.
The following shows the result of a sysconfig -t device query:
