HP Servers and Workstations—HP-UX 11.x

NOTE: HP-UX 10.x is only supported by Generation 1 Ultrium drives.

Introduction

Before you install your tape drive log on to the HP web site, www.hp.com, and download the latest hardware enablement patch bundle for your operating system. This ensures that you will have the correct device driver for your tape drive.

Determining the SCSI ID

Before you configure your system to support your new HP Ultrium drive, you need to determine what SCSI ID to use. The SCSI ID must be unique for each device attached to the SCSI bus. To list the existing devices, use the following command:

% /sbin/ioscan -f

The output of this should look similar to the following example:

After you have installed the new tape drive, you can check that it has been attached successfully. From a shell window (hpterm/xterm), execute ioscan to display the list of attached devices.
