My experience is to do the install_ovpass command. The part that I find peculiar involving luns / scsci ids is with regards to setting up the media changer device. Here's a quick and dirty script I use to help me get the correct settings. It works for me but no guarantees on any other environment. Maybe it will help.
>> more get_tape_info
#!/bin/sh
ovpass=`lsdev|grep -i ovpass|wc -l`
if [ ${ovpass} -lt 1 ]
then
echo " Looks like you need to:"
echo "
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/install_ovpass"
fi
for RMT in `lsdev|grep rmt|cut -f1 -d" "`
do
WWN=`lsattr -l ${RMT} -E -H|grep ww_name|awk '{print $2}`
SID=`lsattr -l ${RMT} -E -H|grep scsi_id|awk '{print $2}`
LID=`lsattr -l ${RMT} -E -H|grep lun_id|awk '{print $2}`
DEVI=`lsdev|grep ${RMT}|awk '{print $3}'`
FSI=`lsdev|grep ${DEVI}|grep "^fscsi"|awk '{print $1}'`
echo "${RMT} ${FSI} ${SID} ${WWN} ${LID}"
if [ "${LID}" = "0x1000000000000" ]
then
echo " Probable commands for changer"
echo " mkdev -c media_changer -s fcp -t
ovpass -p ${FSI} -w ${SID},0"
fi
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample run (ovpass was active in my case)
>> ./get_tape_info
rmt0 fscsi1 0x77d01 0x2100000d77976f65 0x0
rmt1 fscsi1 0x77f01 0x2100000d779c4fe2 0x1000000000000
Probable commands for changer
mkdev -c media_changer -s fcp -t ovpass -p fscsi1 -w
0x77f01,0
rmt2 fscsi3 0x67d01 0x2100000d779c0ee3 0x1000000000000
Probable commands for changer
mkdev -c media_changer -s fcp -t ovpass -p fscsi3 -w
0x67d01,0
rmt3 fscsi3 0x67f01 0x2100000d779ceb79 0x0

Whoa! Not that desperate yet.
My whole issue is with scsi id and lun id, and I remember there being something
peculiar about it. I was hoping that somebody else had the same experience.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ovpass on AIX, anyone?
I just did the upgrade to 7.01 this morning from 6.5.5. Like a dummy, I
removed the ovpass device instead of the upgrade after NBU was done installing.
I can't find any notes on how I did it last time, and I am brain cramping big
time. I need it to drive my EMC DL4100. I have it serving up 110 drives
across 6 adapters. I only needed one ovpass0 to serve all 110 drives in 6.5.5,
so I don't think I need to do multiples.
Any ideas?
