help installing dds3 autoloader
Our full backups are now larger than we could fit on a single tape so we picked up an autoloader (HP A3716A.)
We are running HPUX 11.0
It's installed with an SE SCSI card (HP-PB 28642A) and ioscan shows the following
ext_bus 5 10/4/12 scsi1 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP 28655A - SE SCSI
ID=7
unknown -1 10/4/12.3 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP C1537A
unknown -1 10/4/12.3.0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP C1537A
unknown -1 10/4/12.3.1 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP C1557A
unknown -1 10/4/13 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP 28655A - Parallel
Interface
what do I need to do to properly install this device and get it ready to use?
I have very little HPUX experience so, don't be afraid to keep any instructions idiot proof and hand holding is encouraged :)

Re: help installing dds3 autoloader
If an HP device you may be able to find it on the HP Business Center " drivers and downloads" section.
The driver install will require a reboot.

Re: help installing dds3 autoloader
sam -> kernel configuration -> drivers.
I believe that was all I needed. that was on L-class running 11.0.
I don't recall if there were separate switch setrings for the changer and the drive or not. If they are separate, make sure they aren't the same instance number

Re: help installing dds3 autoloader
Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals: HP 9000 Computers:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90698/index.html
The sections you need are:
Selecting Device Drivers for a Tape Device and Interface:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90698/ch07s01.html
Configuring HP-UX for a Tape Drive:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90698/ch07s02.html
However if you have existing SCSI tape drives then you should already have those correct tape drivers on the machine.
It also seems strange that ioscan is finding a C1537A and C1557A. Do these drives exist on your system? If they don't - then maybe the A3716A is being recognised as a C1537A or C1557A?
Do you know if HP-UX 11.0 supports the A3716A or does it need a patch?

Re: help installing dds3 autoloader
We currently have a single dds3 tape drive and I suspect that is why the device is being labeled incorrectly as a C1537A I am not sure where the C1557A came into play.
Thanks for the repsonses, I will keep trying to resolve the issue and update as the issue evolves.
