Disabling SPC-2 SCSI reserve on Solaris

Use the following procedure to disable SPC-2 SCSI reserve.

More information about reservations is available.

See About SPC-2 SCSI reserve on Solaris.

To disable SPC-2 SCSI reserve

  • Modify the Solaris st.conf file on the NetBackup media server. In the tape-config-list section of the st.conf file, set the ST_NO_RESERVE_RELEASE configuration value (0x20000) in the appropriate data-property-name entry.

    For example, the following entry disables SCSI reserve and release for all tape drives that use the DLT7k-data configuration values:

    DLT7k-data = 1,0x38,0,0x20000,4,0x82,0x83,0x84,0x85,2;

    For more information about the st.conf file, see the Solaris st(7D) man page.
