Configuring the SCSI ID for SCO OpenServer

In the pre-configured kernel used to install SCO OpenServer, the following SCSI IDs are automatically set:

Disk = 0

Tape = 2

CD-ROM = 5

To determine the SCSI ID of the new tape drive (if not known):

1.Run System Configuration and look under “Review or Modify Hardware Settings,” then “View and Edit Details.” The values reported for controller number, target ID, LUN, and bus number are used during mkdev tape.

2.Boot the computer to single user mode and run the mkdev tape command.
