Hi. I have upgraded a solaris 9 server from networker 7.3.2 to 7.5.1. The 
upgrade appears to have been successful except that the CDL virtual tape 
library will no longer function. 
 
After investigation it appears that the CDL Library Robot is no longer visible 
by the networker server. When I run the inquire command it returns almost 
immediately with no output. I ran an inquire command before the upgrade so it 
was definately working then.
 
I have checked that the fibre card can see the CDL and i believe it can using 
lputil as the WWN is listed as online. I believe that the CDL 4 Virtual tape 
devices are online using other command line tools (cant use inquire!).
 
I have also upgraded some storage nodes that use the EMC CDL and they can see 
the tape devices successfully. It appears that the Virtual RObot is causing the 
porblem.
 
Persistent bindings were configured on all fibre devices before the upgrade.
 
Any advice on where this problem is originating and how i can resolve it? 
 
Thanks, Mark
