Dear Legends,
I'm new to using tape drive for RMAN Backups. Our Env details: RHEL 5.9 as host machine and Production in Oracle VBox R12.1.3 same O/s in vm also.
The Tape drive is connected with host machine.
How will I make use of the Tape drive from Host machine to VM ?
Some what I tried to find the tape drive commands in Host machine.
# lsscsi
[0:2:0:0] disk LSI RAID 5/6 SAS 6G 2.13 /dev/sda
[0:2:1:0] disk LSI RAID 5/6 SAS 6G 2.13 /dev/sdb
[1:0:0:0] tape IBM ULTRIUM-HH6 D2DB /dev/st0
mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x5a (no translation).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
I don't know what the status tells. Any kind of help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Karthik
