Upgrading SNMS on IRIX
For instructions on upgrading an IRIX machine to SNMS 2.4.1, contact ATAC. After upgrading to SNMS
2.4.1, you must perform the following post-upgrade task to turn off mediaid.
If you upgraded StorNext on a machine running IRIX (all supported versions), use this procedure to turn off
mediad for any StorNext-managed storage device.
1 Log on as root. Type:
su root
2 Edit the mediad.config file. Type:
vi /etc/config/mediad.config
3 Add the following statement for each SNMS-managed storage device.
ignore device <device_name>
...
ignore device <device_name>
where <device_name> is the description path to the storage device.
For example:
/dev/rmt/tps0d6nrv
4 Save the changes and quit the edit session.
5 Stop the mediad process. Type:
mediad -k
6 Re-start the mediad process. Type:
mediad
