I had this same issue installing SL500's on AIX.
You need to go into /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver and run install_ovpass
Then, you'll need to use mkdev with options similar to these:
mkdev -c media_changer -t ovpass -s fcp -p fscsi0 -w 0x0000ef,0
(this string is for an SL500. The argument to -w may need to be changed for the
L700)
The fact that AIX is saying it needs this package means it sees the device, it
just does not know what to do with it. devices.fcp.changer does not actually
exist.
Once you've gotten the ovpass device configured, you can verify that you are
seeing your library by doing this:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scsi_command -d /dev/ovpass0 -inquiry
That should return the SCSI inquiry string from the library.
Hope this helps.
