  • You do not say which unix you are using.

    ioscan is an hp-ux command

    If you are on hp, then yes ...

    ioscan -fn would be the command

    You do not want the 'k' option, as this pulls out what is in the kernel, you want a fresh scan as things may have changed.

    You can use the C option to specifiy class ...

    ioscan -fnCtape would show the tape drives

    You cannot restart a library from the unix command line, you would need to either use the library web console if it has one, or power cycle it.
