[Networker] AIX and HP-UX tape configuration
2003-04-15 11:02:10
Hi.
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. But the inquire command sees
no tapes. I am not sure where to go from here.
4) Am I to use the ioscan command rather than inquire on HP-UX. Is this the
same as the inquire command and can it negatively effect the server in any way?
5) Sun has a good website with relevant files to help troubleshoot. Is there
a good web site for HP-UX and AIX.
Regards and thanks, Mark
