ServerNet/DA
To add the tape drive to the server configuration database, use the SCF ADD TAPE
command. Before issuing this command, check that the tape drive is installed properly.
To add the tape drive:
-> SCF
-> ADD TAPE $DAT72, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (1,1,51), SAC
1, DEVICEID 5, PRIMARYCPU 0, BACKUPCPU 1
-> START TAPE $DAT72
-> STATUS TAPE $DAT72, DETAIL
For complete details about the ADD and STATUS commands, including
command syntax, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
PMF CRU
To add the tape drive to the server configuration database, use the SCF ADD TAPE
command. Before issuing this command, check that the tape drive is installed properly.
To add the tape drive:
-> SCF
-> ADD TAPE $DAT72, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (1,1,50),
DEVICEID 5, PRIMARYCPU 0, BACKUPCPU 1
-> START TAPE $DAT72
-> STATUS TAPE $DAT72, DETAIL
In this example:
•
The LOCATION attribute specifies the location (group, module, and slot) of
the PMF CRU (adapter) to which the tape drive is attached.
•
The DEVICEID attribute shows the device ID that is configured for the
device. This ID must match the SCSI ID that is physically set in the device.
•
The PRIMARYCPU attribute specifies the processor in which the primary
tape process should execute.
•
The BACKUPCPU attribute specifies the processor in which the tape
process starts its backup process.
For more information about the ADD and STATUS commands, see the SCF
Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
