Ooooo, that's tempting. Too bad I
just fixed it.
I had left myself enough information
in my EDL configuration to figure out which fiber adapter I was using for
robotic control.

Hello
Use the smc device instead, check this
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH72966
Problem
DOCUMENTATION: Configuring robotic control device files
for IBM libraries on AIX.
Solution
Manual:
Veritas NetBackup (tm) 6.5 Device Configuration Guide
for UNIX, Windows, Linux
Modification Type: Addition
Modification:
Starting with NetBackup 6.5.2 and greater all IBM robotics
is supported via the Atape
driver.
Atape driver creates the
smc device files for IBM
robots controlled by SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS.
The device file is the interface between AIX and the device.
It is no longer required to create ovpass
device file using the NetBackup ovpass
pass-through driver,
using the smc
device files is the preferred method starting with NetBackup 6.5.2 and
greater for IBM robots on AIX.
smc device files will autodiscover
in the Device Discovery Wizard.
To check if Atape driver is installed on the system run
-
# lslpp -l | grep Atape
Atape.driver
11.6.0.0 COMMITTED IBM AIX Enhanced Tape and
Medium Changer Device Driver
To list the smc device path run -
# lsdev -Cc tape
...
smc0 Available 06-08-01-1,1 IBM 3582 Library Medium Changer

I just did the upgrade to 7.01 this
morning from 6.5.5. Like a dummy, I removed the ovpass device instead
of the upgrade after NBU was done installing. I can't find any notes
on how I did it last time, and I am brain cramping big time. I need
it to drive my EMC DL4100. I have it serving up 110 drives across
6 adapters. I only needed one ovpass0 to serve all 110 drives in
6.5.5, so I don't think I need to do multiples.
Any ideas?
