Re: [Veritas-bu] sso question

This is a perfectly good configuration. You've just uncovered a limitation of using robtest where the robotic control host can't see the drives.

In an L700, I'd be surprised if you actually needed to issue the unload command (lots of libraries can now accomplish the unload automagically while doing a move). Did you try a move without unload? If that doesn't work, then you've already found your appropriate solution.

guys i have master server running sol8 connected to L700.

L700 has 7 drives in it.

Master can see 6 of them through fiber

Med1 can see first 3 drives shared
Med2 can see first 3 drives shared

Med3 just added has access to drives 5,6,7 and can see them fine.

I have just loaded a tape on the master server ( robot control ) and put
a taper into drive 7. When i came to do an unload d7 so i could move the
tape back (m d7 s6) it wouldn't do it. I then realized thats because it
does unloads on rmt paths and i haven't added drive 7 to the master server.

Didnt add for 2 reasons. 1. its recommended to have only 3 drives per
2gb HBA ( which is why it has 6 drives in total ). Plus if i added drive
7 i would need another shared license i guess.

Question:- Is there something wrong with my setup then. Should the
master have device paths set up for every drive in the robot. I know it
can put tapes in but it cant take them out. What i was able to do was a
mt -f /dev/rmt/2 offline from Med3 and then moved it using robtest from
the master.

Cheers
