Jason,

Please excuse me if I have misunderstood your question, if I am telling you
something you already know, or if someone else has already replied to you on
this.

>From my observations issuing the bpimagelist command without either the -U,
-L, or -l switches is equivalent to issuing the command with the -l switch,
i.e. the short format option.

If, however, you issue the command with the -L switch, it appears to lay out
exactly the same information as with the -l switch, but annotates all the
values with their meanings.

If I am correct in my observations, then this means that you should easily
be able to map all the fields in your output to the -L switch output, thus
answering your question in full.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
Simon Crabb.

I ran into this problem a couple of weeks ago.  Check your perms on
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/user_ops.  I fought with that for 3 days
trying to get it to work for a non-root account.

Can some one tell me if you can have a Win 2K machine as a NetBackup

NB on each OS, including ramifications on performance.

Hi,

Setting up a HP media server (Solaris master) 3.4.1 with fiber channel and
am wondering how I  find the proper dev file to use for the robot (on the
media server that is) I've run ioscan which showed me all the drives and
i've gone through the mounting on the master and mt -f check on the media
to verify I've got the right drives matched with the right dev file, but
ioscan doesn't show me the dev file for the robot ???

Thanks for the help,

Greg McAllister

Using NetBackup 3.4GA DataCentre, I'm trying to determine the output from

Go to the Media Manager Device Configuration Guide.  You'll be using
the sctl driver. 

You can also build the schgr driver into the system and HP/UX will
create a /dev/rac/ file for you.

Be sure to keep reading and build the sctl device files for the drives
also. 

If you're sharing this library, and both the Sun and the HP can see
the robot, you only configure robotic control on one (it doesn't
matter which, but the master is a much better idea).
