1. zone drive in SAN accordingly(contact SAN admins)
2. scan all tape drives on the mover
Example:
[root@hpssmvr01 ~]# sg_map -st -x -i| grep nst
/dev/sg145 4 0 0 0 1 /dev/nst0 IBM 03592E07 398B
/dev/sg146 3 0 0 0 1 /dev/nst1 IBM 03592E07 398B
/dev/sg148 5 0 0 0 1 /dev/nst2 STK T10000D 4.08
3. there should be a link for every drive in /dev/hpss
Example:
[root@hpssmvr01 ~]# ls -l /dev/hpss
total 0
