Hi All,

I have master server running on 7.5.0.4 running on AIX . we need to add another tape library to the environment .

Please suggest the procedure about how add and make library functional.

First step is to check compatibility - only IBM robots are supported on AIX.
Symantec no longer supports non-IBM robots on AIX.

See NetBackup 7 Hardware Compatibility List (HCL):    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76495

Next step is to ensure OS sees devices.
See AIX chapter in:
NBU Device Configuration Guide: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3656 

Next step is to run NBU Device Config Wizard, select media server, and follow the prompts.
