If they're visible as targets then a simple reconfig reboot should handle
it.  Either touch "/reconfigure" and reboot our "boot -r" from the BIOS
prompt.  
 
You can check the drive visibility with "sgscan tape" beforehand or with a
"probe-scsi-all" at the BIOS prompt.
 
Yet another alternative is to run:
"drvconfig && devlinks && disks && ports && tapes" as root on the cmd line
and it'll emulate the reconfigure boot - although experience tells me that
this sometimes locks up in high lun-count systems.
 
Make sure to use persistent addressing in your SAN scheme - you don't want
these addresses moving about.

My apologies. I should have mentioned that the drives are SAN-attached.

I will be using steam &c. to create /dev/rmt devices on a Solaris 8
master/media server. Does anyone have a walkthrough, how-to, process doc, or
any other information they'd be willing to share?
 
Thanks in advance.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Linux client from Solaris Master



Hi, all 

I've been tasked with adding a Redhat Linux client to NBU 
I'm using NBU 3.4 DataCenter running on a Solaris 2.6 server but the clients
that came with the product (packaged by Sun) did not include Linux. I
downloaded a Redhat Linux client from Veritas but it seems to be incomplete,
it only has three executables none of which are bpcd. 
Does anyone know where I can get the rest of the Redhat Linux client
distribution? 

TIA, 
Jim
