SMO-F551 / RMO-S551 Installation Guide
Installation Procedure on SUN System
Test equipment:
The following procedure was confirmed with the following system and drive combination:
Host: | SUN Ultra Enterprise 450 |
OS: | Solaris 2.3, Solaris 2.4, Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6 |
Target: | |
| - device type is set to 0 |
| - 512 byte/sector media is used. |
Since the SCSI driver “sd” which comes with the SUN’s UNIX system is for device type 0 (hard disk drive, in general), the cases with device type 7 or 1024 bytes/sector media are not supported.
Installation:
1)Connection
-Set the SCSI host adapter into the host computer using proper SCSI cable.
-Set proper SCSI ID on the MO drive.
-Set proper termination.
-Set the Device Type 0.
2)Login
-Turn on the MO drive and the host computer.
-Login as root or be a super user with “su” command.
3)Format and partition

Create a ‘format.dat’ file prior to issuing the ‘format’ command
4)Edit “format.dat” file
