How to detach a system board with DR using the command line interface |
|
17 Sep 1999 |
Trying to detach a system board with DR (Dynamic Reconfiguration) CLI
with a StorageTek library silo that uses dlt tapes.
Error occurs when trying to complete the detach;
"DR Error: Error detaching board (st28): ioctl failed....I/O error"
Ran;
modinfo | grep -i tape
to get the "st" module id number "94"
tried a "modunload -i 94"
to unload the st module, it says;
"can't unload the module: Device busy"
which is why the detach cannot complete.
The following entry has been copied into the /etc/system file
(from Bug Id: 4042415)
set dr:detach_safe_list1="st"
but did not help.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
To complete the detach:
1) Load a tape into the drive.
2) Run "mt -f /dev/rmt/0 offline" (if it's a jukebox do it for all devices).
3) Run "modinfo | grep -i tape" (get the id#).
4) Run "modunload -i id#"
5) Complete the detach in the dr window.
