Product: Networker for OpenVMS v.6.0.1-D
 
OS: OpenVMS 7.3.2
 
Hardware: Compaq Alpha DS-20
 
NetWorker 7.2.1 Server: Windows2k3 SP2
 
Issue:  Configuring VMS storage node.  "show devices" does not show any 
fibre tape devices.  HBA is Emulex LP10000 (HP# FCA2684) 
When system is brought down to srm boot prompt and a "wwidmgr -show wwid -
full" is run all the wwn's of the devices show up. 
 
When the system is booted thought the OS reports no new devices.  There 
should be 18-DLt7k's (Quantum DX100) 18LTO-2's(Quantum PX720) and 2 Library 
controllers (robots).   We have tried installing the pass thru driver 
using "io connect gkc5/noadaptor/driver=sys$loadable_images:sys$gkdriver" 
command but when we run the "jbconfig" command we get the follwoing error:
 
 What kind of Jukebox are you installing? [1] 2
ww_libvms (748): scsi cmd error: %SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
ww_libvms (748): scsi cmd error: %SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
ww_libvms (748): scsi cmd error: %SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
 
     Unable to find any SCSI jukeboxes attached to this system.
     SCSI libraries on an OpenVMS system are accessed through the
     SCSI pass-through driver, sys$gkdriver.  In order for this
     program to find one of these libraries, you must first
     create the GK device, as follows:
 
     For devices that work with only one SCSI ID, the tape drive
     is LUN 0 and the library (or loader) element is LUN 1. 
     Assuming the SCSI ID is 5, the device names are:
 
         MKx500:
         GKx501:
 
         Where, x is the controller letter (A, B, C, etc.)
 
     The MK device is created and configured automatically by
     OpenVMS. To create the GK device, you must issue the
     following command:
 
     $ mcr sysman io connect -
     _$  GKx501/noadapter/driver=sys$loadable_images:sys$gkdriver
 
     For SCSI libraries that have multiple SCSI IDs, the GK
     device must be created for the SCSI ID associated with the
     library loader.  Assuming this value is 2, you would use the
     following command:
 
     $ mcr sysman io connect -
     _$  GKx200/noadapter/driver=sys$loadable_images:sys$gkdriver
 
     Note in this case, the device is not GKx201, but GKx200
     since the library control port is on a SCSI ID of its own. 
     Also, once again, "x" stands for the controller letter.
 
     Please re-run this program when you have connected the SCSI
     jukebox you want to install

Does anyone know of a SAN config program for OpenVMS?

Thanks,

Brian
