OSB and scsi generic devices.
555914Dec 30 2007 — edited Jan 16 2008Dear community members,
i have been trying to install OSB version 10.1.0.3 on oracle enterprise linux version 4. the kernal version is 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.ELsmp. the problems i am facing are the following,
1- when i start the installation as a root user, all the installation steps completes succefully, but when it comes to the configuration of the tape device. i get some issues. that is the installob script ask if i have any tape libraries connected to my machine, and then asks about if i have any tapes connected to the machine. from the documentation i found out that i can determined the tape and the tape library information through the execution of the following command.
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
the output of the above command is as follows
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: C7438A Rev: ZP76
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
i figured out the above information meaning from the oracle documentation. but i only see one device in the output above.. the question is where is the other device(meanning the library)??
i am not so familiar with linux OS but the tape device available on my server is /dev/st0 and /dev/nst0, do i have to create any generic SCSI devices first, and if yes kindly advise how???
2- can someone please explain the information that i have to answer during the installation of the media library devices and the tape device from the above output.
3- after the installation, i was never able to see the OSB web interface. it doesn't even prompt me for a username and a password.as a note i am already running apache tomcat application server on my server for my application. the application is installed on the oracle user.
thank you in advance.
