The SCSI.RDM file on the NSSD diskette gives complete instructions on how to load these drivers and troubleshoot any problems.

Compaq Tru64 UNIX

Drivers for the SCSI controller and tape drive hardware are located on Support Software Diskettes and on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. The Support Software ships with each computer or can be downloaded from the Compaq website. Software support is version 4.0F or later.

The Tru64 UNIX operating system uses Dynamic Device Recognition (DDR), which allows the operating system to recognize the DAT drive without a software tape device driver.

If the following message is seen on any version of Tru64 UNIX, it should be considered an informational message only. No action is required.

ctape_ioctl: unmapped scsi density code (0x30)-DDR entry needed

NOTE: If the drivers are unseen after installation, you need to rebuild the kernal. See

Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” for additional information on where to go for help.

OpenVMS

Drivers for the SCSI controller and tape drive hardware are located on Support Software Diskettes and on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD. The Support Software ships with each computer or can be downloaded from the Compaq website. Software support is version 7.12 or later.

The OpenVMS operating system uses Dynamic Device Recognition (DDR), which allows the operating system to recognize the AIT drive without a software tape device driver.

SCO OpenServer

The drivers required to support the DAT tape drive under SCO UNIX are:

The SCO SCSI tape (stp) driver, which is built into SCO OpenServer; see the SCO System Administrator’s Guide for information on how to configure the driver.

An appropriate SCSI controller driver.
