6 Recompile the kernel by running
autoconfig
and then reboot the
system. When you reboot, the device files for the DAT drive will be created
automatically.
The following device files will be created in
/dev/rmt
:
These device file names can be interpreted as follows:
For example, the device file
tps0d3
indicates a device on controller card 0 at
SCSI ID 3, and the device file
tps0d3nrv
indicates a device on controller
card 0 at SCSI ID 3 that does not rewind on close and supports variable block
sizes.
Note Some versions of IRIX 6.x (depending on how the OS was
installed and which patches are installed) may not create the
compression device files using the procedure above. If this is the
case:
1 Locate the file
/dev/MAKEDEV.d/TPS_base
.
2 After the line starting
*Device:*Python*
, add the following new entry:
*Device:*HP*C15*) # HP DDS with DC
mdev=‘expr $mdev + 8‘;
mknod ${prf}$1c c ${C_TPS} $node;
