Quantum LTO-3 manual Types, Controllers, Configuring, Device File st.conf

Chapter 6 UNIX Settings

Configuring for the Sun Environment (Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, and 9)

For example, the command .dmesg egrep .target. sort uniq. can find all

SCSI controllers and SCSI targets. The output may look similar to:

		sd32 at ithps0: target2 lun0
		sd34 at ithps0: target4 lun0
		st21 at ithps1: target0 lun0
		st22	at ithps1: target1 lun0
		In this case, the LTO-3 Tape Drive can be set for SCSI ID address 2
		through 6 and attached to controller ithps1 (this particular controller also
		supports SCSI addresses 8 through 15).
		You may be able to view the main pages of three types of SCSI controllers
	Types of
Controllers		for Sun Sparc systems:
		•	esp
		•	glm
		•	isp
		We recommend that the LTO-3 Tape Drive not be attached to esp
		controllers. This controller is not fast enough to work with the LTO-3
		Tape Drive. The minimum recommended controller would be a glm
		controller, which is an Ultra Wide controller.
		We recommend Ultra 160 SCSI-capable controllers capable of 80MB/s
		data transfer as a minimum. Slow backups will result if using slower SCSI
		controllers.
		To configure Solaris 2.4 and above to use the LTO-3 Tape Drive correctly,
	Configuring the
Device File st.conf		add the following lines to the file st.conf in the directory /kernel/drv.
