Installing Mylex Disk Array Controller Tape
Drivers
The driver that provides support for tape drives also gets installed as a part of
the standard controller SCO UNIX driver installation. It is recommended
that a tape drive installed on any Mylex Disk Array Controller channel be set
to SCSI ID 2.
To install UNIX from a tape drive, follow the standard SCO UNIX
OpenServer installation for tape as described in the SCO UNIX
documentation.
After SCO UNIX 5.0.x is installed, the tape drive is configured as a standard
tape device, and can be accessed by using the device
/dev/rStp0 . Also, any
tape control operation can be done using the tape command. Refer to the
SCO UNIX manuals for more details on using a tape drive.
If the installation of UNIX was not done from tape, use the mkdev tape
command to configure the tape drive. When prompted for the LUN of the
device, make sure to specify a LUN of 0.
