Eric,

My AIX guy agrees with Arnaud.  You didn't say whether you'd run his
step1.  That may be the key.  Certainly worked for us.

Hi Arnaud!
I have issued the setHost 0,"aix" before installing the SAN Data Gateway. I
checked the Fibre Channel settings through the IBM StorWatch SAN Data
Gateway Specialist: The host type is set to AIX, so that shouldn't be the
cause...

Hi Mr Loon,

I could be false, be I believe I remember we had the same problem, until
we updated values in the SDG, as said before :
1) disableCC
2) setHost 0, "aix"   or   setHost  0  AIX
3) setHost 1, "aix"   or   setHost  1  AIX
4) and reboot the device.
5) remove the tape drives (rmdev -dl rmt?), the fiber object (rmdev -Rdl
fcs?), and then rerun cfgmgr.

Hi *SM-ers!
My 3590 drives are working through the SAN Data Gateway now. The problem
wasn't related to the missing device package message, but it was a wrong
SCSI cable (one without a terminator). However, I still receive the
following message when running cfgmgr:

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

I checked the AIX 4.3.3. CD, but it's not part of AIX. Could someone who
is using a SAN Data Gateway check if he/she has this fileset installed?
Maybe it is part of another fileset? I can't find anything about it, not
through IBM nor though Google. Thanks in advance! Kindest regards, Eric
van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Eric,
in case Adolph's recommendation don't work, or cfgmgr gives you another
error then the problem is with your 2108 SAN Data Gateway (SDG). Go into
the SDG (SAN Data Gateway) firmware and execute the following actions:
1) disableCC
2) setHost 0, "aix"   or   setHost  0  AIX
3) setHost 1, "aix"   or   setHost  1  AIX
4) and reboot the device.
5) remove the tape drives (rmdev -dl rmt?), the fiber object (rmdev -Rdl
fcs?), and then rerun cfgmgr. This action should let see the SDG
transparent to the cfgmgr routine.

Cheers.

This is part of AIX. It will be on the AIX install CDs.

Hi *SM-ers!
I have just connected a 3494 library through a SAN Data Gateway. When I
run cfgmgr is detects the drives:

rmt5  Available 10-68-01     IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer
(FCP)
rmt6  Available 10-68-01-4,0 IBM 3590 Tape Drive and Medium Changer
(FCP)

But it also returns the following error:

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

This driver, is it a AIX driver or is it part of the TSM devices
package? Thanks in advance!! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal
