Ooooo, that's tempting. Too bad I just fixed it.
I had left myself enough information in my EDL configuration to figure out
which fiber adapter I was using for robotic control.

Re: [Veritas-bu] ovpass on AIX, anyone?
Hello
Use the smc device instead, check this
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH72966
Problem
DOCUMENTATION: Configuring robotic control device files for IBM libraries
on AIX.
Solution
Manual:
Veritas NetBackup (tm) 6.5 Device Configuration Guide for UNIX, Windows,
Linux
Modification Type: Addition
Modification:
Starting with NetBackup 6.5.2 and greater all IBM robotics is supported
via the Atape driver.
Atape driver creates the smc device files for IBM robots controlled by
SCSI, Fibre Channel or SAS.
The device file is the interface between AIX and the device.
It is no longer required to create ovpass device file using the NetBackup
ovpass pass-through driver,
using the smc device files is the preferred method starting with NetBackup
6.5.2 and greater for IBM robots on AIX.
smc device files will autodiscover in the Device Discovery Wizard.
To check if Atape driver is installed on the system run -
# lslpp -l | grep Atape
Atape.driver 11.6.0.0 COMMITTED IBM AIX Enhanced Tape and
Medium Changer Device
Driver
To list the smc device path run -
# lsdev -Cc tape
...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ovpass on AIX, anyone?
I just did the upgrade to 7.01 this morning from 6.5.5. Like a dummy, I
removed the ovpass device instead of the upgrade after NBU was done
installing. I can't find any notes on how I did it last time, and I am
brain cramping big time. I need it to drive my EMC DL4100. I have it
serving up 110 drives across 6 adapters. I only needed one ovpass0 to
serve all 110 drives in 6.5.5, so I don't think I need to do multiples.
Any ideas?
