[Orca-users] can't see tape drives

[Pyles, Dave]

I have the tape charts working now, but nothing but zeros in them. If I run iostat, it shows the same results. These servers are dedicated Veritas Netbackup servers and use IBM tape drives
sgscan

Hi Dave,

Did you upgrade your orcallator.cfg file?  It has the tape
plots in there?
