David,

Did you remember to stop and restart the daemons after making the changes?  If this is not the master or stand alone server you should stop and restart them on the master and the media server.  It should remind you when you run tpconfig (at the start) but it should be:

    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/stopltid
    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid

I guess I didn't... the move worked

The Device Monitor still doesn't see the drives, although "media and device management' does.


Sláinte,

David

Did you rewind and offline the tape OR wait 3 min before you tried to unload?

mt -f /dev/device rewoffl
then move it

Tpconfig worked flawlessly. Robtest moved a tape from s1 to d1 fine, but is
giving SCSI errors when trying to move back. Devfsadm seemed ok. I'm
starting to suspect a physical tape library problem, which is of course, not
maintained and really old.

Sláinte,

David,

I never had any luck with the wizard creating drives in a library.  I
always used tpconfig and set it up that way.  It sounds like everything else
is working.  You should be able to add the drives to the library using
tpconfig.

I was asked to assist with a NetBackup 3.4 problem today. Basically
ltid will not stay up. Further investigation shows that the software
no longer had and device config info. When I try running the config
wizard, it does see the drives, but not in a library, only as
standalone. NetBackup sees the library fine and will inventory
successfully.
I realise this is an extremely old config, so any pointers would be
greatly appreciated.
