Madhumita,

have you used the MC SYSMAN IO FIND_WWID command yet?

You will find details of how to configure fibre channel tape devices in the clutsering manual:

Regards,

Duncan

Do a SYSMAN> IO FIND_WWID before you do the IO AUTO. Good luck.

I must apologize for the delay but the solution worked perfectly. io find_wwid and then io auto showed the devices. thank you greatly for the pointer to the documentation. might it not be strange to be in the clustering manual?
