2.Rebuild the kernel by running /sbin/ddr_config, then reboot the system with the tape drive attached. The device files for the Ultrium drive will be generated in /dev/tape and / dev/ntape when you reboot.

3.The names of the device files can be interpreted as follows:

Devices in the /dev/ntape directory are “no-rewind” devices. Those in /dev/tape will do a rewind on close.

The device files then have the syntax: tapeX_dn

For example, /dev/ntape/tape66_d1 is a device file for device 66, no-rewind using density number 1. Since all density numbers have the same parameters it does not matter which density number file is used.

What Next?

Once the device files have been created, you should confirm that your new tape drive is working properly. Chapter 7, “Verifying the Installation” provides instructions on backing up and restoring a sample file to test your installation.
