HP-UX - Discovering Tape / Robot devices

[OzzMosiz]

Ok, I'm not familiar with HP-UX and was wondering if anyone could either explain, or point me to some documentation.

I'm interested in finding out how to do tape/robot discovery within HP-UX - attached via SCSI or fibre....hope someone can help a HP-UX newbiew

for a start:
man ioscan

Here is a tape library robot and a Optical Jukebox we have on a test server...

CIIXSX05 root # ioscan -funC autoch
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

autoch 2 0/4/1/0.6.0 schgr CLAIMED DEVICE HP C1107M

ioscan -funC tape

Follow HOINZ advise and do the man on ioscan.....
