PBS and iSCSI Tape drive

Hi,
I am trying to configure an iSCSI bridge to a tape drive (ATTO XstreamCore 8100T) on my PBS 4.2.1.

My tape is seen by the PBS:

Code:

lsscsi -g

[0:2:0:0]    disk    DELL     PERC H730P Mini  4.27  /dev/sda   /dev/sg0

[12:0:0:0]   tape    IBM      ULTRIUM-HH8      S2T1  /dev/st0   /dev/sg1

The LTO drive has been successfully added in the PBS GUI.
However, it seems that the PBS is unable to see the tape loaded in the LTO drive.
The Linux mt commands works, but the PBS doesn't.

Any idea ?

However, it seems that the PBS is unable to see the tape loaded in the LTO drive.

what is the output of the pbs commands?

what is the output of

Code:

proxmox-tape status --drive <drive>

The problem is:

Code:

root@pbs:/# proxmox-tape drive list

┌──────┬────────────────────────────────────┬─────────┬────────┬───────┬────────┐
│ name │ path                               │ changer │ vendor │ model │ serial │

root@pbs:/# proxmox-tape status --drive LTO

Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

root@pbs:/#

it seems pbs is not seeing the drive at all?

can you post the output of 'dmesg' or 'journalctl -b' ?

Here is the output of dmesg

dmesg.txt

can you send the journal too? and are you sure this is the right host? i can't see any tape drive at all in the log (or of IBM/Ultrium) ?

After a reboot, I can see my LTO drive, by still cannot use it:

Code:

proxmox-tape drive list

ok what error do you get if you try to use it? (the status command looks fine for a drive with no tape inserted)
