Description Michal Sekletar 2020-04-02 09:50:53 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1814028

I am copying this bug because: if we introduce tape/by-path links for tape changers in RHEL-7 we should also provide in RHEL-8.


Description of problem:

Veritas (NetBackup) uses SAN connected tape devices with multiple paths. NetBackup is required to manage multiple paths to the SAN tape devices. The only way they can make this persistent through a boot is by using udev symlink's. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 6 - RHEL 8


How reproducible: Does not exist so every time. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results: Manually need to create the symlink's


Expected results: Script to create symlink's such as from https://access.redhat.com/solutions/285703. This was created by Laurence Oberman and specified by NetBackup Engineering. 


Additional info: A from Veritas NetBackup Engineering for this automation. 
They will work with us to provide a full test environment.
