[Veritas-bu] Netbackup Device Config on Redhat server

[Zaka777]

Hi, i am trying to install a new server with tape drives attached. Client has 
7.1.0.2 installed. 

the tapes drives have been zoned on to the server however Netbackup is unable 
to see the new drives. 

running cat /proc/scsi/scsi shows the devices so i guess the OS is happy with 
it. according to the Netbackup device config guide as long as the devices are 
listed using this command then Netbackup should see the devices. but in my case 
i get no removable devices found. 

running ./scan brings back nothing either.  i haven't been able to reboot the 
server yet as its not allowed and im hoping that i can resolve this without a 
reboot. 

i have setup other Linux servers with the same spec and versions without any 
problems. anyone got any ideas?

 running cat /proc/scsi/scsi shows the devices so i guess the OS is happy with 
 it.

Are the device special files (/dev/nst*) present, along with the
corresponding scsi-generic devices (/dev/sg*)?

Try
   lsscsi --device --generic
to see all the device special files.

You may need to install the lsscsi package to get this command, which
is actually quite handy.
