Hello all,
I'm having trouble communicating with a DLT tape library from the command line. The system is running HP-UX 11.0 w/ Omniback II A.04.10. Everything seems just fine related to my nightly backups via Omniback, but I'm also running ftio backups nightly as well so I want to write a command into my script to load and unload the tapes.
I'm wondering if perhaps I can create a /dev/picker device file via mknod /dev/picker c 203 ox030000 or if that will cause me problems.
Here is all related output from the commands I could think of:
opt/omni/lbin # ioscan -fH 0/5

Re: tape library config questions
Alexander - thanks for the reply. That is actually the doc I was working off. It only left this one mini-hurdle for me.
Massimo - that's the path I needed! When going through the same doc that Alexander suggested it looked to me that I would see a device file that would work right in /dev called picker or something similar. I was using /dev/robot, which was obviously not correct.
Thank you both for your hellp!!
Sincerely,
Jeff
