HP Ultrium Tape Drive manual Determine the device file by typing, Ls -l /dev/rmt/*m grep st@X

Configuring the Device Files

Determine the device file by typing:

% ls -l /dev/rmt/*m grep "st@X"

where X is the SCSI ID. Identify the line for the tape drive. For example, if the drive was at SCSI ID 2, look for the line containing “st@2,0”. This might be as follows (but on a single line):

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 Mar 1 00:00 /dev/rmt/0m

../../devices/sbus@1f,0/espdma@e,8400000/esp@e, 8800000/st@2,0:m

Here you could use /dev/rmt/0m (shown underlined above) as the device file.

Only if necessary, make the following file modifications to enhance performance:

1.In the file /kernel/drv/st.conf, after these lines:

########

# Copyright (c) 1992, by Sun Microsystems, Inc.

#ident "@(#)st.conf 1.6 93/05/03 SMI"

add the following depending on which version of operating system you are installing (there are 6 significant spaces between HP and Ultrium in line 2):

for Solaris 8 without st patch:

tape-config-list =

"HP Ultrium 3","HP Ultrium LTO 3","HP_LTO_GEN_3";

HP_LTO_GEN_3 = 1,0x36,0,0xd639,4,0x44,0x44,0x44,0x44,3;

name="st" class="scsi"

target=X lun=0;

where X is the SCSI target address of the device you have attached.

for Solaris 9 and 10 (and 8 with st patch):

tape-config-list =

"HP Ultrium 3","HP Ultrium LTO 3","HP_LTO_GEN_3";

HP_LTO_GEN_3 = 2,0x3B,0,0x18659,4,0x44,0x44,0x44,0x44,3,60,1200, 600,1200,600,600,18000;

name="st" class="scsi"

target=X lun=0;

where X is the SCSI target address of the device you have attached.

See “HP-Data Values” on page 29 below for the values of the parameters in these lines.
