Hello,

Is anyone out there using an AIX robot control host?

We're trying to configure our first AIX box as a robot control host and media
server in our
NetBackup 4.5 MP6 environment.

We are trying to get the AIX box to work with an EMC CDL (Clarrion Disk Library)
that's
emulating an STK L700 tape library.

We have Sun robot control hosts, but no IBM, so we don't know exactly what
devices
we should expect to see out there in AIX that will allow us to control the
"L700".

I've installed the ovpass driver per the installation guide, but then when I run
"cfgmgr -v"
on the box to update the devices, it tells me:

      cfgmgr: 0514-621 WARNING: The following device packages are required for
         device support but are not currently installed.
      devices.fcp.changer

And no library control device gets created (At least not any we can identify.)  
IBM says they don't
provide any fileset called "devices.fcp.changer", and suggested that I install 
the Atape driver - which
I've done, to no avail.

We do see the 20 drives out there, just no device for the robot/library itself.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,
Jay Sherman
