Veritas NetBackup™ Device Configuration Guide

Verifying the device configuration on Linux

The /proc/scsi/scsi file shows all of the devices that the SCSI driver detects.

If the operating system detects the SCSI devices, NetBackup can discover them.

To verify that the operating system can see the devices

  • Run the following command from a terminal window:

    cat /proc/scsi/scsi

    The output that is displayed should be similar to the following:

    Attached devices:
