How can I see if my storage fibre channel library is seen under AIX

[chrismous]

My problem is that my storage library Adic Scalar100 connected through a scsi to fibre channel bridge and a switch in not seen under TSM 5.1 and so on I want to be sure that the system can see it.

Hello,
1) is the adapter available.
2) are you able to see up to the scsi to fiber bridge.
3) then are you able to see the end device.

The two drives in the library use the same fibre channel port and they are seen by the system. So it seem that the overall channel (scsi and fibre)is working good. I want know if there is a command to know if the library is seen (like lsdev -Cc tape for tapes).
Thanks

lsdev -Cc adapter this will output 2 u all adapters of ur machine

Hi

As far I know there is no direct way to list the library (Autochanger, thats what you meant I beleive)within AIX. You need some software like Legato or Veritas to see the same. I am using the Legato with DLT7000 Library and this Legato is having a uitility called inquire which will list your drives and library.
