Beatriz,

Like Dwight already said, probably SAN switch zoning.

Also the latest Atape driver is (as far as I know) 9.0.7.0 (see
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/AIX).

Hello All,

We just got our new 3583 with 6 tape drives and I believe Multi-Path (we
don't want to use Multi-path for now). I have done the following and I
still
cannot get to see anything on AIX:
1. Installed latest atape drives (running AIX 5.2 ML3):
atape 8.4.9.0
2. Connected 6 tape drives (fiber) to McData switch
3. Connected Fiber adapter from AIX server to McData switch.
4. Reboot AIX server and ran cfgmgr several times.
5. Hard reset the 6 tape drives via the web specialist.

I cannot see /dev/smc0 or any of the drives. What should I do? am I
missing
a setting in the library itself? or on the Fiber adapter in AIX?


Thanks in advance,
Beatriz
