    Hi All,

    This one is pretty simple, but I can't find out how to solve.
    Tru64 5.1A PK6, TruCluster, tape library MSL5026.
    I want to access the tape library using Veritas Netbackup, it says that
    tape drives are down, when I try to put it up the software makes some
    checks and fails back the status to down.
    hwmgr -view devices don't show the changer, but hwmgr -show scsi gives me:

    75: 23 anchova changer none 0 2 (null)
    76: 24 anchova tape none 0 2 (null)
    77: 25 anchova tape none 0 2 (null)

    And hwmgr -show scsi -did 23 -full gives me:

             SCSI DEVICE DEVICE DRIVER NUM DEVICE FIRST
      HWID: DEVICEID HOSTNAME TYPE SUBTYPE OWNER PATH FILE VALID PATH
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        75: 23 anchova changer none 0 2 (null)

           WWID:0c000008:0090-0d26-268b-aced

           BUS TARGET LUN PATH STATE
           ---------------------------------
           1 1 1 stale
           2 0 1 stale

    How can I make this devices accessible by operating system?

    Thanks!
