Creating persistent DSF pass-through paths
NetBackup creates pass-through paths for all valid /dev/rtape paths. NetBackup creates the paths during device discovery or when you run the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan command.
However, you can create them manually. The following example shows how to create a pass-through device file for a persistent DSF.
To create a pass-through path for a tape drive
- Enter the following command (# is the instance number of the device from the ioscan output):
mksf - P - C tape - I #
For more information about using the HP-UX mksf command, see the man page.
