Hi

We've dug up some old hardware, two robots, and are trying to add them
as storage devices. We using Netbackup 3.11 on Solaris 2.6. The first
device is a HP Model 200T Optical Disk Library. When we do an "sgscan
all" it comes back with the following:

/dev/sg/c1t0l0: Changer: "HP      C1715T"
/dev/sg/c1t1l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"
/dev/sg/c1t2l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"
/dev/sg/c1t3l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"
/dev/sg/c1t4l0: Unknown: "HP      C1716T"

It can sense the robot fine. But the drives don't seem to exist as disk
devices - as they have to if they are to be used. Any ideas on how to go
forward ? I tend to think that this hardware just is not supported.


The second robot is an Overland DLT Library. Configuring it up as a TLD
library is straight forward enough but it immedietly downs the drives
when I try to use them. Any ideas ?

/dev/sg/c3t2l0: Changer: "OVERLANDLXB"
/dev/sg/c3t4l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/8): "Quantum DLT4000"
/dev/sg/c3t5l0: Tape (/dev/rmt/9): "Quantum DLT4000"
