To Make an Unsupported Tape Device Detach-

For the Solaris 9 operating environment, tape devices that are natively supported by
Sun Microsystems are suspend-safe and detach-safe. For details, refer to the
Sun Microsystems are suspend-safe and detach-safe. For details, refer to the
st
(7D)
man page for a list of natively-supported drives. If a system board to be detached
contains a natively-supported tape device, you can safely detach the board without
suspending the device.
contains a natively-supported tape device, you can safely detach the board without
suspending the device.
However, if you want to use a tape device that is not natively supported by Sun
Microsystems, you can use it, but you must make it detach-safe by performing the
following steps.
Microsystems, you can use it, but you must make it detach-safe by performing the
following steps.
1. Edit the
/kernel/drv/st.conf
file with the
ST_UNLOADABLE
(0x0400) flag set in
the entry. Refer to the
st
(7D) man page for more information.
2. After all DR configuration tasks are complete, be sure to reboot the domain so that
this configuration can take effect.
Preparing for DR Detach Operations
You must prepare a board for DR detach operations by following the steps described
below. Although the following list of tasks implies a sequence of order, strict
adherence to the order is not necessary. These steps apply to boards containing I/O
or non-network devices. .
below. Although the following list of tasks implies a sequence of order, strict
adherence to the order is not necessary. These steps apply to boards containing I/O
or non-network devices. .
1. Unmount file systems.
For example, if you are using Solstice DiskSuite metadevices, you must unmount
the file system for metadevices that have a board-resident partition (for example,
the file system for metadevices that have a board-resident partition (for example,
umount /partit
).
If you have suspend-unsafe devices that manage file systems, unmount those file
systems before a detach operation. If have to manually suspend unsafe devices
that manage file systems, lock those file systems using the
systems before a detach operation. If have to manually suspend unsafe devices
that manage file systems, lock those file systems using the
lockfs
(1M) command
before manually suspending the unsafe devices.
Caution –
Unmounting shared file systems by using the
share
(1M) utility may
affect NFS client systems.
2. Remove disk partitions from the swap configuration by using
swap
(1M).
