Re: No robotic devices detected

At teh command prompt on the Media Agent 'rocsrv', run the command

 

        devbra -dev

 

Normally, this will output fields for Tape Drives 'Tape' and the robotics 'Exch' similiar to this:

 

Tape    HP:Ultrium 3-SCSI  Path: "/dev/rmt/0mn"  SN: "HU10938F7R"
        Description: HP LTO3 Drive
        Revision: D23W  Device type: lto [13]  Flags: 0x0001

Exch    HP:1x8 G2 AUTOLDR  Path: "/dev/rac/c0t4d1"  SN: "MXA94210HN"
        Description: HP StorageWorks 1x8 Cartridge Autoloader
        Revision: 2.80  Flags: 0x0006  Slots: 7  Drives: 1
        Drive(s) SN:
                "HU10938F7R"

 

I think that, when you run this command, you will be missing the' Exch' field, or, if it is ther, you will see a lot of 'N/A' entries

 

If your media agent is HPUX, run an

 

            ioscan -fn

 

and look for any 'Autoch' types.  If the media agent is Windows, go to the Devcie Manager, and see if you see any Media Changers

 

Tis may require a system reboot on either type of server to go out and idnetify SCSI-attached devices

 

If you are in a SAN, make sure that your zoning is correct

 

This may also be a problm with physical connections (cables, SCSI-intderfaces, terminators) between the server and the Tape library

 

'devbra' is your friend
