after upgrade os to hpux 11.31 ,inquire can't see driver device
hi,all
i have many hpux servers installed legato networker client software and windwos server installed legato networker server.
environment:
legato server:windows 2000 ,legato 7.1.1
legato client:hpux legato 7.1.1
tape library:stk l180 have 2 Ultrium 2-SCSI K710 tape driver and 1 robot jukebox
a few days ago,i delete old hpux 11.11 os and reinstall 11.31 os ,when i complete networker client & storage node 7.1.3 install on 11.31,the inquire tools can't see tape device but the ioscan can see the driver device.
ioscan result:

and use scsimgr lun_map also can see relative tape driver

inquire can't see relative stk tape driver device,but the other server that os version is 11.11 and they have not upgrade os to 11.31 can see the stk l180 tape driver.

i checked out it on hp website and found something below:
L700e Tape Library
(with HP Ultrium-1 SCSI, HP Ultrium-2 SCSI &
FC tape and IBM Ultrium-2 FC tape drives)
rp8420
rp8400
rp7420
rp7410
rp7400
rp5400 series
rp4440
rp3440
rp2400 series
L700e Tape Library
(with HP Ultrium-1 SCSI, HP Ultrium-2 SCSI & FC tape drives)
rx8620
rx7620
rx5670
rx4640
rx2600/rx2620
http://www.hp.com/products1/serverconnectivity/mass_storage_devices.html#storagetek_ts
is it means the stk l180 is not support by hpux 11 v3 ?so the 11.31 os can't inquire the tape device?

Hello,
I would suggest you to check with OS administrator, related to reason why the OS is not able to view the drives from OS level, Normally networker will not be able to detect the tape drives until the drives not visible from OS level.

Hi,
First of all you seems really skilled, so I guess that the file erased was /tmp/lgto_scsi_devlist not
rm -rf /tmp/lgto_scsi_device* as written in this dialog.
When we have these type of issues, we often forget to accnowledge the hw change, or in our case we reconfigure our VTL, we accknowledge that by running:
/usr/sbin/scsimgr replace_wwid -H 1/0/14/1/0.0x5006048c4a854fdf.0x0
But as your device is "Last Open or Close state = ACTIVE", that should not be the case, I guess that it would show AUTH_FAILED if you where to have the same issue as we do sometimes.
Best regards

I have bunch of HPUX 11.31 boxes and one thing to know is device management has changed in 11.31. Check if you have legacy device names enabled with insf -Lv. If it is not enabled, enable it with insf -L. Legacy mode is required hosts using storage node package. Wihtout things like inquire won't work. I have filled RFE to support agile addressing long time ago, but I believe even NW8 doesn't have it yet (no big deal until HPUX releases versions where only agile addressing will be supported).
