How to verify robot connectivity on an HP-UX robot control host before configuring the /dev/sctl pass thru driverSolution
Use these commands to determine if the HP-UX OperatingSystem is communicating with the robot.
Look to see if the autoch driverexists in the ioscan command output.
# ioscan -fnC
# ioscan-fncan
Look to see if there is a device in the /dev/racdirectory. This is the default robot control device file that is createdby the HP-UX operating system when detects a robot.
# ls -l/dev/rac
If there is a device in /dev/rac, test it to determine if it cancommunicate with the robot.
Use the mc -p command on the device thatexists in the /dev/rac directory.
For example,
# mc -p/dev/rac/device_name
If that command returns an error, then that deviceis not communicating with the robot. If there are multiple devices in the/dev/rac directory, test each one.
If one of the /dev/rac device filesreturn robot information, then configure the /dev/sctl pass through driver perthe NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.
