StorageWorks 8505 8mm Cartridge Tape Drive SBB

this time will check the kernel to determine if the necessary drivers are built in, displaying the results.

If necessary, the program will rebuild the kernel. If this occurs, you will have to reboot the system in order to use the tape drive.

For further information on adding tape devices, refer to Hewlett-Packard’s Installing Peripherals manual, P/N B2355-40041.

E.2.1.3 Device Files (Series 700)

The System Administration Manager program automatically creates the appropriate device files and places them in the /dev/rmt directory.

The following naming convention is used on Series 700 computers for the EXB-8505 Cartridge Tape System SBB, as shown in the examples listed below:

 

/dev/rmt/c#d#[hlmc][n][b]

where:

 

c#

specifies the controller designation, which may contain either two or

 

three characters, specifies the following:

sis the system bus module:

2 = core I/O (the default)

4 = EISA

cis the slot number:

0 for core I/O

4 for EISA

fis the function number. This value identifies the location on the core I/O bus. For the single-ended SCSI interface, the value is 1. If you are using the EISA bus, omit the f value.

d#

designates the SCSI address of the tape drive, where # here identifies a

 

number value.

h/l/m/c

indicates density, with h meaning high density (EXB8200c format), l

 

meaning low density (EXB8200 format), m meaning standard DDS

 

format (EXB8500 format), and c meaning data compression (EXB8500c

 

format.

n

indicates no rewind.

b
