I think it has to do with the new symlinks in /sys/clas= s=20 scsi_tape. In the working configuration it has no symlinks under the scsi_tape directo= ry,=20 the entries are directories for nst* and st*. In the not working configuration the entries are symlinks and this I think = confuses NetBackup and cannot find the device configuration files. Is it=20 possible to create rules to change it back to directories?
