HP Ultrium Tape Drive manual What Next?, For compressed mode default

Page 17

•A hardware address specified by instance 5 (-I 5)

•No rewind (-n)

•Berkeley mode tape positioning on close (-u)

•A filename of 4mnb, where 4 is the tape device identifier (/dev/rmt/4mnb) You would execute the following:

% /sbin/mksf -d stape -I 4 -n -u /dev/rmt/4mnb

You can check that the appropriate device file was created using the lssf command as follows:

% /sbin/lssf /dev/rmt/4mnb

This should produce the following output to show that the device file now exists:

stape card instance 0 SCSI target 6 SCSI LUN 0 berkeley no rewind

BEST density at address 2/0/1.6.0 /dev/rmt/4mnb

To create a device file for Ultrium in uncompressed mode, you should use a command such as:

mksf -H -a -b U_18

and for compressed mode (default):

mksf -H -a -b U_18C

The hardware path can be found from previous ioscan output.

What Next?

Once the device files have been created, you should confirm that your new tape drive is working properly. Chapter 7, “Verifying the Installation” provides instructions on backing up

and restoring a sample file to test your installation.Systems UX-HP
