Configuring Robotic Controls
▼ To ensure the driver device files are accessible after a system boot
❖ Add the following command to the system startup script:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/mkdev_ovpass
▼ To remove the ovpass driver
❖ Enter: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/remove_ovpass
Upgrading The SCSI Passthru Driver
Note The following upgrade procedure is required only if you get an error while trying to
configure a FCP SCSI device. See step 5 on page 33 for details.
Some versions of Media Manager before release 4.5 used a version of the passthru driver
that did not support FCP SCSI controllers.
Caution Any device files (/dev/ovpassn) will be removed and must be re-created.
▼ To upgrade to the latest passthru driver
1. Remove the old ovpass driver.
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/remove_ovpass
2. Install the new ovpass driver.
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/install_ovpass
Configuring Robotic Controls
Robots are controlled through a SCSI or a network connection.
◆ SCSI control is covered in the following section.
◆ Configuration for network controlled robotic libraries (for example, ACS robots) is
discussed in the appendices of the VERITAS NetBackup Media Manager System
Administrator’s Guide for UNIX and Linux or the VERITAS NetBackup Media Manager
System Administrator’s Guide for Windows.
