Are you using the IBM ATDD device drivers?  This would be your first
requirement.

Hi,
I'm installing Netbackup4.5 on Solaris 2.6 system which attached with a
IBM 3494 tape library, there are 10 IBM 3590E1A drives in the library.
the problem is the Device Configuration Wizard could found all the 10
drives but only 4 drives are "configured", the other 6 drives are
"Unusable", it shows all the 10 drives have "no configuration device
file exists" in the limitations button.

Here is the output of tpconfig -l ( I just add one tape drive to the
robot)

Device Robot Drive       Robot                    Drive         Device  
Second
Type     Num Index  Type DrNum Status  Comment    Name          Path    
Device Path
robot      0    -    TLH    -       -  -          -             TDC3494
  drive    -    0  hcart    -      UP  -          RMT6
/dev/sg/c6t0l0  IBM Device Name = /dev/rmt/6st
drive      -    1  hcart    -      UP  -          IBM03590E1A1
/dev/sg/c6t1l0
drive      -    2  hcart    -      UP  -          IBM03590E1A2
/dev/sg/c7t2l0
drive      -    3  hcart    -      UP  -          IBM03590E1A3
/dev/sg/c5t3l0

the question is should I use /dev/rmt/6st or /dev/rmt/6stn in the "IBM
Device Name" field?
I also tried to use /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tlhtest -r TDC3494 -d
/dev/sg/c6t0l0 /dev/rmt/6st but it's hung at "Opening TDC3494".

By the way, all these 10 drives are working fine in TSM system at the
same time.

Could you please give me any direction here since I'm a newer to
Netbackup.

Thanks very much
Niu
