STK was out yesterday and replaced two of our drives. We are a L700
robot with 9840 tapes.
Question? The drives that were replaced are not showing up when I do
and sgscan all. NetBackup will down the drives if it tries to use them.
How do I get them back so the OS recognizes them?
robtest looks like it did before STK came. We are a fiber connected/SSO
shop. The robot can mount and move things around okay.
Thanks,
