Hi,

I have a problem control our Dell 128T (HP 2/20) library connected via
Fibrechannel to FreeBSD host.

The LUNs seem to be visible but problem is that library controller is
reported as "Fixed Storage Array SCSI-0 device":

sa0 at isp0 bus 0 target 129 lun 0
sa0: <HP Ultrium 1-SCSI E32L> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-3 device
sa0: 100.000MB/s transfers
pass1 at isp0 bus 0 target 129 lun 1
pass1: <HP C7200 FC Interface 009t> Fixed Storage Array SCSI-0 device
pass1: 100.000MB/s transfers

root at backup:~# camcontrol inquiry pass1
pass1: <HP C7200 FC Interface 009t> Fixed Storage Array SCSI-0 device
pass1: Serial Number A00PA7
pass1: 100.000MB/s transfers , Tagged Queueing Enabled


The mtx fails on pass1, chio as well:

root at backup:~# chio -f /dev/pass1 status
chio: /dev/pass1: CHIOGPARAMS: Inappropriate ioctl for device

It seems as if the problem is actually on the Library side as it is
recognized as array in linux as well, is there any way to force this LUN
to be recognized as changer device despite of it claiming to be an array?

Does anyone have a 128T / HP2/20 working under BSD?

Cheers

Kirill
