Subject:    [Veritas-bu] Tape Configuration for AIX and HP-UX



 Hello.   Would anyone be  able to give me some AIX and HP-UX commands and
procedures for configuration of  tape devices and fibre cards.  I would
like the relevant AIX/HP-UX commands  that would compare with configuring a
solaris system.  My experience of  these systems is limited (especially
when it doesn't work first time) but they  are part of a Tape SAN that must
be configured as proof of concept.



1) What is  the procedure for configuring tape devices on an AIX or HP-UX
system?  In a  solaris system the procedure would be to edit st.conf and
use the commands  drvconfig and tapes.  Do theses other flavours of Unix
follow a similar  procedure and what would this be?

 2) Is  there a command similar to pkginfo which is used on solaris to see
what drivers/software are installed on an AIX or HP-UX  system?

 3)  The FC-HBA driver directory exists on the AIX server and when the
fibre cable is  plugged in the port on the switch lights. I would think
that this  would mean that the Emulex driver is installed.  Using sgscan I
can see no  tapes or robot.  I am not sure where to go from here.

 4)  Sun has a good website with  relevant files to help troubleshoot.  Is
there a good web site for HP-UX  and AIX.



Thank  You,  Mark
