How to verify robot connectivity on an HP-UX robot control host before configuring the /dev/sctl pass thru driver

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.
