[Xen-users] how to get a scsi tape device to work with xen 3.3.1

[Sabuj Pattanayek <sabujp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm using Centos 5.2 i386 and have installed xen 3.3.1 from the
repository mentioned here:

http://grantmcwilliams.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=229:install-xen-33-on-centos-5-the-easy-way&catid=97:xen-howtos&Itemid=465

I'm trying to get tape devices on the dom0 (virt4) to work on the domU
(seabass):

####

[root@virt4 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen
xen-libs-3.3.1-0
kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
xen-3.3.1-0

[root@virt4 ~]# xm list

[root@virt4 ~]# lsscsi

[0:0:4:0]    tape    HP       C1537A           HP02  /dev/st1

[root@virt4 ~]# xm scsi-attach seabass 0:0:3:0 0:0:3:0
[root@virt4 ~]# xm scsi-list seabass

[root@seabass ~]# modprobe st

dmesg:

SCSI subsystem initialized

[root@seabass ~]# ls -l /dev/nst0
ls: /dev/nst0: No such file or directory
[root@seabass ~]# ls -l /dev/st0
ls: /dev/st0: No such file or directory
[root@seabass ~]# lsscsi
[root@seabass ~]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

[root@virt4 ~]# xm scsi-detach seabass 0:0:3:0
Error: Driver status is not connected
Usage: xm scsi-detach <Domain> <VirtDevice>

####

Ok so maybe I need to try to get the PCI scsi card attached to the domU first?

####

[root@virt4 ~]# lspci | grep -i scsi
01:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 02)

[root@virt4 ~]# xm pci-attach seabass 01:01.0
Error: Device 0 not connected
Usage: xm pci-attach <Domain> <domain:bus:slot.func> [virtual slot]

Insert a new pass-through pci device.

>From /var/log/xen/xend.log:

[2009-02-11 12:11:24 5643] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:688)
XendDomainInfo.pci_device_configure: ['pci', ['dev', ['domain',
'0x0'], ['bus', '0x01'], ['slot', '0x01'], ['func', '0x0'], ['vslt',
'0x0']], ['state', 'Initialising']]

[root@virt4 ~]# xm pci-list seabass
VSlt domain   bus   slot   func
0x0    0x0  0x01   0x01    0x0

[root@seabass ~]# lspci

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks,
