mc command

[Jenifer Martins]

I have received some help on this, but "mc" isn't working.... I followed the "mc" man doc, and then it directed me to the "scsi_pt" man doc. When I did "mc", it said I didn't have /dev/scsi/3. I went through the process to find the pass-through device file and to configure the scsi_pt. It isn't working. In SAM it says that the spt driver is installed, but I am stumped. I have a deadline to get this working by June 30, and I don't know what I am doing wrong. All the drivers needed to run the autoloader seem to be there. Any suggestions?

mc uses /dev/scsi/3 as the default device.
The device file that is created for the autoloader is /dev/rac/cxtxdx.
If you create a soft link from /dev/scsi/3 to /dev/rac/cxtxdx mc should work.
ln -s /dev/rac/cxtxdx /dev/scsi/3

Or you can use the mc command with the -p option and specify the device.

mc -p /dev/rac/cxtxdx -r DS

Thanks for all your help.

The /dev/rac/cXtXdX tip worked great. Once I had that device name, the mc command and options worked great!

I appreciate your help!!! I am not so worried about my deadline date now!
