Ooooo, that's tempting. Too bad I just fixed it. I had left myself enough information in my EDL configuration to figure out which fiber adapter I was using for robotic control.

Hello Use the smc device instead, check this http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH72966 Problem DOCUMENTATION: Configuring robotic control device files for IBM libraries on AIX. Solution Manual: Veritas NetBackup (tm) 6.5 Device Configuration Guide for UNIX, Windows, Linux Modification Type: Addition Modification: Starting with NetBackup 6.5.2 and greater all IBM robotics is supported via the Atape driver. Atape driver creates the smc device files for IBM robots controlled by SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS. The device file is the interface between AIX and the device. It is no longer required to create ovpass device file using the NetBackup ovpass pass-through driver, using the smc device files is the preferred method starting with NetBackup 6.5.2 and greater for IBM robots on AIX. smc device files will autodiscover in the Device Discovery Wizard.

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? Scott George "PLEASE NOTE: The preceding information may be confidential or privileged.
