TAPEUTIL in a Sun (Solaris) System Environment
|
A SCSI Tape and Medium Changer Utility Program called
tapeutil is provided with the IBM SCSI Tape and
|
Medium Changer Device Driver for Solaris and installed in the
/opt/IBMtape directory as part of the
|
IBMtape package. This program fulfills several purposes:
|
It provides the following service aids for IBM tape subsystems:
|
– Query Device Type/Verify Device Attachment
|
– Query Device Serial Number
|
– Query Device Microcode Level
|
– Force Device Diagnostic Dump
|
– Store Device Diagnostic Dump
|
– Download Device Microcode
|
It provides a menu-driven test tool for exercising or testing IBM tape and medium changer devices
|
with a full set of supported operations:
|
– Reading/Writing Data
|
– Tape Motion Commands
|
– Setting/Displaying Device Information/Status
|
– Mounting/Demounting Cartridges
|
– Cartridge Inventory
|
In addition to the menu-driven front end, the
tapeutil program provides a command-line interface that
|
is convenient for use in shell scripts.
|
Note: When using the command-line calls to the
tapeutil program, the tape device is opened and
|
closed for each invocation. Configuration parameters that are changed in one call to the
|
tapeutil program are returned to default values when the device is closed.
|
The source code for the
tapeutil program is provided for example purposes, and is installed in the
|
/opt/IBMtape directory during the IBMtape package installation. This source code is commented and
|
demonstrates calls to all of the supported device driver entry points and
ioctl commands, thus giving
|
the application developer a starting point for interfacing to the IBMtape device driver.
|
The
tapeutil program provides both an interactive menu-driven interface as well as a command-line
|
interface. If the
tapeutil program is invoked with no command-line parameters, the menu-driven version will
|
be started. In the menu-driven version, the device to be operated on should first be opened using option 1.
|
Other options may then be selected.
|
The user will be prompted for additional information if required for the specific options selected. The
|
results of a command are displayed after it is executed. If an error occurs for the command, error
|
information and device sense data are displayed. The device can be closed using option 2, or it will
|
automatically be closed when the Quit option is selected. The menu is automatically displayed once when
|
the program is first invoked. To prevent unnecessary scrolling of the screen, the menu is not automatically
|
displayed again after each command, but is instead refreshed only after the M (menu refresh) command is
|
entered.
|
Figure 309 on page APPENDA-3 shows the menu that is displayed by the
tapeutil program.
