Operating Systems AIX p570 seeing LTO drive but not 3582 library (smc0) Post 302463928 by BobSmith on Monday 18th of October 2010 09:38:10 PM

p570 seeing LTO drive but not 3582 library (smc0)

I have a p570 running AIX 5.2 ml 10. We just got in a IBM 3582 library. The library is connected directly to the lpar via fibre cable.

I've installed:
Code:
Atape.driver              11.7.7.0
atldd.driver               6.8.4.0

After a reboot, I can see the one tape drive:
Code:
root@rgtsscsr60:/etc # lsdev -Cc tape
rmt0 Available 0H-08-00-0,0 LVD SCSI 4mm Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 0M-08-02     IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)

I can also run a tapeutil command against it (tapeutil -f /dev/rmt1 status) and get the status of the drive.

My problem is that no smc device shows up. That is, I can't see the library.

Did I miss a step somewhere? Is there some other fileset I need to install?

Thanks (in advance) for any help you can provide.

I am not using any backup software other than wanting to use tapeutil to control my library/tape drive.
