happens, use L&TT rescan to locate the device. In these cases the firmware update was usually
successful.
Prerequisites
• Windows
◦ Device drivers for the connected tape devices/libraries or default device driver should be
present.
• HP-UX
Devices do not need to be claimed by the operating system with ioscan for L&TT to access
them.
◦
◦ The sctl driver must be installed for L&TT to access the device you want to test. L&TT builds
its own pass-through SCSI device files using the sctl driver, so that driver must be installed;
however, L&TT does not need the operating system to list any of the devices as "CLAIMED."
They may be listed that way (if the appropriate driver is installed), but they don't need to be
for L&TT to fully access them.
◦ Devices must NOT be listed as "NO HARDWARE" in ioscan. If the device you want to test
with L&TT is listed as "NO HARDWARE" in ioscan, the communication path between the
host and the device is not working and must be fixed before L&TT will be able to communicate
with the device.
