I can confirm I've gotten them working with NBU 6.5.3.1 on both Solaris
and Linux masters (as robotic control hosts)but didn't have any issue
with configuring them after the mappings file was applied...

There IS an issue with their CAP though in my environment.  It won't
come online unless the robot boots up without the robotic fibre
unplugged (physically or port manually disabled).

OK, trying again...another previous post to this forum I saved about
this library:

The SL3000 is set to HLI by default. I'm told this is what you'd use
with ACSLS. But for those of us who prefer FC... In SLConsole, select
Tools / Select Active Cells from the menu. Go to the "Select Active
Cells" tab, then change the "Interface Type" pulldown from HLI to
FC-SCSI. Click Apply.

To tie this thread back to NetBackup, I first noticed the problem when
volmgr/bin/scan said the robot had zero drives (though it did list the
drives separately). The device configuration wizard detected all the
devices as well, but said the robot was not serialized and all the
drives had the limitation of being standalone. Obviously all fixed after
changing the interface type.

Unfortunately we have applied the device mappings your technote
specifies.

David,

I saw this in a posting a few months back...since we resell the STK line
I hung onto it in case I ever needed it....it may or may not resolve
your issue...let us know:

Symptoms
Users of NetBackUp version 6.x cannot configure a new SL3000 tape
library.

When installing a new SL3000 tape library, users of Symantics Veritas
NetBackUp cannot configure the library.

Resolution
Configuring NetBackUp to work with SL3000 requires a package update

When installing an SL3000 with Veritas NetBackUp 6.0 or 6.5.  And the
library is connected  via Fibre Channel, NetBackUp will fail to
configure the library properly.
Netbackup doesn't contain the SL3000 library mappings.

The fix is provide by Symantic for the Veritas NetBackUp products in the
form of a package update.
The
 following link will provide the package update for download, package
install instructions and other package details.

Hi All

Hit another snag in a new deployment, seem to be requiring knowledge
from the group on a number of occasions over the last couple of months,
its appreciated.

Our DR environment has just acquired an STK SL3000 and we are having
issues with the robotic config in NBU.

If you run the wizard the results are that NBU interprets the library as
remote for some unknown reason.

We have downloaded the device mappings and applied successfully however
don't seem to be able to get it working.

The T10kB drives in the library are fine.

The library and drives are dual pathed and visible down both paths
