Re: Need help for configuring MSL 6000 on Solaris 10 and SLES 9

Dear Kishan

I'm also having IBM AIX v5.3 and MSL6030 FC Library with HP Ultrium 2 LTO SCSI Drives. AIX does detects this drives as Other FC SCSI Tape Drive (OST) - rmt1 and rmt2 with connection seetings as 2 nd 3 (where as Drive SCSI IDs are 1 and 2).

rmt0 is an directly attached scsi drive and is working fine.

When cfgmgr is executed it does report devices.fcp.array and devices.fcp.changer not available.

My problem is tar,dd or cpio none works with the tape. Could you pls. throw some more light on how did you manage to make the drives working in AIX.

Regards
Ali
