I had this same issue installing SL500's on AIX. You need to go into /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver and run install_ovpass
Then, you'll need to use mkdev with options similar to these: mkdev -c media_changer -t ovpass -s fcp -p fscsi0 -w 0x0000ef,0 (this string is for an SL500. The argument to -w may need to be changed for the L700) The fact that AIX is saying it needs this package means it sees the device, it just does not know what to do with it. devices.fcp.changer does not actually exist. Once you've gotten the ovpass device configured, you can verify that you are seeing your library by doing this: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scsi_command -d /dev/ovpass0 -inquiry That should return the SCSI inquiry string from the library. Hope this helps. ------------ Sean Fike Anheuser-Busch Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Kurian K Oommen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 19:48 To: Marianne Van Den Berg Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Error Storagetek L700 installation on AIX I can do that only if robot is visible on the OS ... issue is it is not I am looking ar following possiblities 1 ) There is some package devices.fcp.changer that i would have get installed in AIX .. 2) The firware of the Library ( L700 ) needs to be upgraded. 3) Or there is some other 1 Regards K.O Kurian (Embedded image moved to file: pic20281.jpg) IBM India Private Limited (+91-9810912456 | *: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project Office: A14,Sec 62,NOIDA, U.P - 201301, India Our Mission : Proactive, Pre-emptive & Predictive operations environment, by automating day-to-day tasks.
