We just got done setting one of these up in fact and had that exact same issue
with HP. Here's the fun part - Veritas does not apparently support virtual
libraries claiming to be something they're not. So make sure you're up at the
1.1 firmware version for the CDL - that will make available an option to create
an "EMC Disk Library" type (4th from the bottom of the list). Try using that
instead of creating an L700 and see if you have better luck having your
robotics recognized.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] HELP needed configuring AIX Robot Control
host/media server & STK L700
Hello,
Is anyone out there using an AIX robot control host?
We're trying to configure our first AIX box as a robot control host and media
server in our
NetBackup 4.5 MP6 environment.
We are trying to get the AIX box to work with an EMC CDL (Clarrion Disk Library)
that's
emulating an STK L700 tape library.
We have Sun robot control hosts, but no IBM, so we don't know exactly what
devices
we should expect to see out there in AIX that will allow us to control the
"L700".
I've installed the ovpass driver per the installation guide, but then when I run
"cfgmgr -v"
on the box to update the devices, it tells me:
cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for
device support but are not currently installed.
devices.fcp.changer
And no library control device gets created (At least not any we can identify.)
IBM says they don't
provide any fileset called "devices.fcp.changer", and suggested that I install
the Atape driver - which
I've done, to no avail.
We do see the 20 drives out there, just no device for the robot/library itself.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Jay Sherman
