My experience is to do the install_ovpass command.  The part that I find peculiar involving luns / scsci ids is with regards to setting up the media changer device.  Here's a quick and dirty script I use to help me get the correct settings.  It works for me but no guarantees on any other environment.  Maybe it will help.
 
>> more get_tape_info
#!/bin/sh
ovpass=`lsdev|grep -i ovpass|wc -l`
if [ ${ovpass} -lt 1 ]
then
        echo "                               Looks like you need to:"
        echo "                               /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/install_ovpass"
fi
for RMT in `lsdev|grep rmt|cut -f1 -d" "`
do
        WWN=`lsattr -l ${RMT} -E -H|grep ww_name|awk '{print $2}`
        SID=`lsattr -l ${RMT} -E -H|grep scsi_id|awk '{print $2}`
        LID=`lsattr -l ${RMT} -E -H|grep lun_id|awk '{print $2}`
        DEVI=`lsdev|grep ${RMT}|awk '{print $3}'`
        FSI=`lsdev|grep ${DEVI}|grep "^fscsi"|awk '{print $1}'`
 
        echo "${RMT} ${FSI} ${SID} ${WWN} ${LID}"
        if [ "${LID}" = "0x1000000000000" ]
        then
                echo "                       Probable commands for changer"
                echo "                       mkdev -c media_changer -s fcp -t ovpass -p ${FSI} -w ${SID},0"
        fi
done
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample run (ovpass was active in my case)

>> ./get_tape_info

rmt0 fscsi1 0x77d01 0x2100000d77976f65 0x0
rmt1 fscsi1 0x77f01 0x2100000d779c4fe2 0x1000000000000
                       Probable commands for changer
                       mkdev -c media_changer -s fcp -t ovpass -p fscsi1 -w 0x77f01,0
rmt2 fscsi3 0x67d01 0x2100000d779c0ee3 0x1000000000000
                       Probable commands for changer
                       mkdev -c media_changer -s fcp -t ovpass -p fscsi3 -w 0x67d01,0
rmt3 fscsi3 0x67f01 0x2100000d779ceb79 0x0

Whoa!  Not that desperate yet.

My whole issue is with scsi id and lun id, and I remember there being something peculiar about it.  I was hoping that somebody else had the same experience.

[Veritas-bu] ovpass on AIX, anyone?

 
I just did the upgrade to 7.01 this morning from 6.5.5.  Like a dummy, I removed the ovpass device instead of the upgrade after NBU was done installing.  I can't find any notes on how I did it last time, and I am brain cramping big time.  I need it to drive my EMC DL4100.  I have it serving up 110 drives across 6 adapters.  I only needed one ovpass0 to serve all 110 drives in 6.5.5, so I don't think I need to do multiples.

Any ideas?
