Before You Start
Before You Start
Observe the following points when performing the configurations described in this
chapter:
◆ The VERITAS support web site (http://www.support.veritas.com) contains server
platform compatibility information for a number of vendors and products (see the
NetBackup Product > Compatibility area of the site). Verify that your server platform
is supported before configuring devices.
◆ For NetBackup to recognize and communicate with connected devices and for device
discovery to discover devices, NetBackup issues SCSI pass-thru commands to the
devices in a configuration.
Device files must exist that follow the naming conventions explained in “Configuring
Robotic Controls” on page 55, “Configuring Tape Drives” on page 62, and
“Configuring Optical Disk Drives” on page 68.
◆ Use /usr/sbin/sam (HP utility) and ioscan -f to verify that the devices are
configured correctly. Make sure you can “see” your devices on the SAN before you
install and configure the SSO option.
◆ Some HP SCSI adapters do not support SCSI pass-thru, so devices on these adapters
are not auto-discovered.
If You Are Using NetBackup Server
Portions of this chapter include configuration topics and examples for configurations and
options that are not supported in NetBackup Server. It is important to refer to the
VERITAS support web site to determine support for NetBackup Server (see the
NetBackup Product > Compatibility area of the site), before using this chapter.
