[Orca-users] can't see tape drives

[Pyles, Dave]

I thought I had the proper orcallator.cfg:

bus-bel-03-net-root: cd /tmp/orca-0.27/orcallator
bus-bel-03-net-root: ls -l orcallator.cfg
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other      18147 Oct 17 15:32 orcallator.cfg
bus-bel-03-net-root: grep -i tape orcallator.cfg
bus-bel-03-net-root: cd /tmp
bus-bel-03-net-root: ls -l orcallator.cfg-1.36.txt
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other      18998 Oct 16 10:00 orcallator.cfg-1.36.txt
bus-bel-03-net-root: grep -i tape orcallator.cfg-1.36.txt
title                   %g Tape System Wide Reads/Writes Per Second

The .txt version from your web site works properly. The version distributed with orca-0.27 did not contain the tape stuff. Is there anyway to get interface bits per second from st devices? Thanks for your help!

Hi Dave,

Did you upgrade your orcallator.cfg file?  It has the tape
plots in there?

Best,
Blair
