 Hello.   Would anyone be able to give me some AIX and HP-UX commands =
and procedures for configuration of tape devices and fibre cards.  I =
would like the relevant AIX/HP-UX commands that would compare with =
configuring a solaris system.  My experience of these systems is limited =
(especially when it doesn't work first time) but they are part of a Tape =
SAN that must be configured as proof of concept.


1) What is the procedure for configuring tape devices on an AIX or HP-UX =
system?  In a solaris system the procedure would be to edit st.conf and =
use the commands drvconfig and tapes.  Do theses other flavours of Unix =
follow a similar procedure and what would this be?

 2) Is there a command similar to pkginfo which is used on solaris to =
see what drivers/software are installed on an AIX or HP-UX system?

 3) The FC-HBA driver directory exists on the AIX server and when the =
fibre cable is plugged in the port on the switch lights. I would think =
that this would mean that the Emulex driver is installed.  Using sgscan =
I can see no tapes or robot.  I am not sure where to go from here.

 4)  Sun has a good website with relevant files to help troubleshoot.  =
Is there a good web site for HP-UX and AIX.



Thank You,  Mark
