Refer to IBM SCSI Tape Drive, Medium Changer, and Library Device Drivers: Installation and User's Guide
for information about installing and configuring the IBM tape drive.
The devices must be fully installed and the host
device driver must be configured and available.
You might require assistance from the customer
during this process.
To verify that the device driver and the devices are
functional, use the tapeutil program, which is
provided with the IBM SCSI Tape Device Driver for
SolarisOS.
The diagram shows an example of the software and
hardware paths that are used in the following tests.
Note: Port 1 of a 3592 tape drive is connected to
two hosts. The host drivers are configured so that
one initiator is at fibre ID address 7 and one
initiator is at fibre ID address 6. The tape special
file names on each host are independent and might
be different.
1. Load a CE scratch tape into the 3592 tape drive.
Attention: This test overwrites any data or label that exists on the tape cartridge.
2. Type
/opt/IBMtape/tapeutil
. The following menu opens. (The menu reappears at the
