SCO OpenServer

Installing Mylex Disk Array Controller Tape Drivers

The driver that provides support for tape drives also gets installed as a part of the standard controller SCO UNIX driver installation. It is recommended that a tape drive installed on any Mylex Disk Array Controller channel be set to SCSI ID 2.

To install UNIX from a tape drive, follow the standard SCO UNIX OpenServer installation for tape as described in the SCO UNIX documentation.

After SCO UNIX 5.0.x is installed, the tape drive is configured as a standard tape device, and can be accessed by using the device /dev/rStp0. Also, any tape control operation can be done using the tape command. Refer to the SCO UNIX manuals for more details on using a tape drive.

If the installation of UNIX was not done from tape, use the mkdev tape command to configure the tape drive. When prompted for the LUN of the device, make sure to specify a LUN of 0.
