I believe it gets it from however many devices are set up in st and sg.conf files and the devices don't even need to be configured to the O/S and will come back with a c*t*l* configuration as opposed to /dev/rmt.
If you run /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/goodies/scan -tape the information should be the same, just more of it. And what is the show switch? I tried it on my server and it doesn't do anything. I usually run with a -t -v. ~Kate -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 11:44 AM To: Veritas List Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] tpautoconf Can anyone tell me where the "tpautoconf -show" gets it device information from?
