device config file path

[kps gill]

I need to edit the drive path for dataprotector in HPUX box....kindly let me know which file is used to edit the drive settings....

How about instead of messing with the device file you just change the drive in data protector to point to the correct device file.

The issue is that we have changed the drive path and it is now /dev/rmt/4m...in my earlier configuration it is
NAME "rter3d_dlt8000"
DESCRIPTION "DLT8000 drive on rter3d"
HOST rter3d
POLICY Standalone
TYPE DLT
POOL "rter3d_dlt8000"
DRIVES
"/dev/rmt/0mn"


..which file I need to edit to change this....

[Court Campbell]

open the dp manager. go to devices and media. Click on the drive. you should see some tabs in the right hand pane. click the tab that says drive. Under the data drive section choose the new device file. Click apply.

Sorry, but I have never used the CLI to modify devices for DP. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you. Also for the future, it may be helpful to post to this forum for DP issues.

i posted this in the other thread, but I don't know if you looked there:

you should be able to use:

omnidownload -device -file

to extract the current config to file . Edit that file to reflect the correct path to the drive.

then use:

omniupload -modify_device -f

to read the updated info
