Not sure about this now..... I have gone through checked all the SAN configuration and it is all looks 100% happy. However, when doing cfgmgr followed by lsdev -Cc tape i get nothing in reply so suggesting the server cannot see the drives.

I know the Fibre card is working as this server is connected to the HP EVA so its definately logged into the SAN fabric, I know the drives are logged in and working via the SAN as the same 4 drives zoned to the HPUX servers appeared straight away.....

So if anyone can think of anything else to check i would be grateful........

-----Post Update-----

Hi,

I have solved part 1 and actually got the server to see the tape drives now....If i do an lsdev -Cc tape i get this output

rmt0 Available 07-08-02 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 07-08-02 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive
rmt2 Available 07-08-02 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive
rmt3 Available 07-08-02 Other FC SCSI Tape Drive

Just wondering now about making sure i have the right drivers. With these being HP Ultrium LTO4 drives and the fact that if i go to the drivers/patches on HP's site it does not quote AIX as an OS does anyone know where i can get the right drivers??? And as an AIX novice how i install them???

Thanks.......

NAME

       bscv, bscbus, i2bsc - Blade support chip interface driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  bscv,  bscbus  and	i2bsc drivers interface with the Blade support chip used on Sun Microsystem's Blade server products. These drivers
       provide a conduit for passing control, environmental, cpu signature and event information between Solaris and the Blade support chip.

       These drivers do not export public interfaces. Instead they make information available via picl, prtdiag,  prtfru  and  related	tools.	In
       addition, these drivers log Blade support chip environmental event information into system logs.
