Subject: [Veritas-bu] Tape Configuration for AIX and HP-UX
Hello. 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. Using sgscan I
can see no tapes or robot. I am not sure where to go from here.
4) Sun has a good website with relevant files to help troubleshoot. Is
there a good web site for HP-UX and AIX.
Thank You, Mark
