The instructions if it is supported would be in the Media Manager Device
Guide.   Make sure the extra targets and luns are in the st.conf and the
sd.conf.  Without the system knowing they are there you will not see the
devices.

As for the Overland drives downing, again make sure the extra targets and
luns are in the st.conf, sd.conf. 

Did you do a robtest and move tapes in and out of the drives to verify your
paths?  I would do that to make sure all of your configurations are correct.
You may want to go to the website and verify these Storage Units are
supported to be sure.

Good Luck

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Adding old robots



Hi

We've dug up some old hardware, two robots, and are trying to add them
as storage devices. We using Netbackup 3.11 on Solaris 2.6. The first
device is a HP Model 200T Optical Disk Library. When we do an "sgscan
all" it comes back with the following:

/dev/sg/c1t0l0: Changer: "HP      C1715T"
/dev/sg/c1t1l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"
/dev/sg/c1t2l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"
/dev/sg/c1t3l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"
/dev/sg/c1t4l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"

It can sense the robot fine. But the drives don't seem to exist as disk
devices - as they have to if they are to be used. Any ideas on how to go
forward ? I tend to think that this hardware just is not supported.


The second robot is an Overland DLT Library. Configuring it up as a TLD
library is straight forward enough but it immedietly downs the drives
when I try to use them. Any ideas ?

/dev/sg/c3t2l0: Changer: "OVERLANDLXB"
/dev/sg/c3t4l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/8): "Quantum DLT4000"
/dev/sg/c3t5l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/9): "Quantum DLT4000"
