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.......

tapeinfo

TAPEINFO(1)						      General Commands Manual						       TAPEINFO(1)

NAME

       tapeinfo - report SCSI tape device info

SYNOPSIS

       tapeinfo -f <scsi-generic-device>

DESCRIPTION

       The  tapeinfo  command  reads  various information from SCSI tape drives that is not generally available via most vendors' tape drivers. It
       issues raw commands directly to the tape drive, using either the  operating  system's  SCSI  generic  device  (	e.g.  /dev/sg0	on  Linux,
       /dev/pass0 on FreeBSD) or the raw SCSI I/O ioctl on a tape device on some operating systems.

       One  good  time	to  use 'tapeinfo' is immediately after a tape i/o operation has failed. On tape drives that support HP's 'tapealert' API,
       'tapeinfo' will report a more exact description of what went wrong.

       Do be aware that 'tapeinfo' is not a substitute for your operating system's own 'mt' or similar tape driver control program. It is intended
       to supplement, not replace, programs like 'mt' that access your operating system's tape driver in order to report or set information.

OPTIONS

       The first argument, given following -f , is the SCSI generic device corresponding to your tape drive.  Consult your operating system's doc-
       umentation for more information (for example, under Linux these are generally start at /dev/sg0 under FreeBSD these start at /dev/pass0).

       Under FreeBSD, 'camcontrol devlist' will tell you what SCSI devices you have, along with which 'pass' device controls  them.  Under  Linux,
       "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" will tell you what SCSI devices you have.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       This program has only been tested on Linux with a limited number of tape drives (HP DDS4, Seagate AIT).

AVAILABILITY

       tapeinfo  is  currently being maintained by Eric Lee Green <eric@badtux.org> formerly of Enhanced Software Technologies Inc. The 'mtx' home
       page is http://mtx.sourceforge.net and the actual code is currently available there and via CVS from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtx/ .
