10. vi ddr.dbase
11. Save the changes to the file:
12. :w!
13. Go to the /dev directory:
14. cd /dev
15. Create device files for the new tape drive:
16. MAKEDEV [
id
]
Where [id] is the SCSI ID of the new tape drive. For example,
MAKEDEV tz5
creates device
files for a tape drive at SCSI ID 5.
Assuming that no device files were previously created for any tape drives, the MAKEDEV
command creates the following eight device files in the /dev directory:
/dev/rmt0l
Low density rewinding device
/dev/rmt0h
High density rewinding device
/dev/rmt0m
Medium density rewinding device
/dev/rmt0a
Alternate density rewinding device
/dev/nrmt0l
Low density non-rewinding device
/dev/nrmt0h
High density non-rewinding device
/dev/nrmt0m
Medium density non-rewinding device
/dev/nrmt0a
Alternate density non-rewinding device
Your system is now ready to use the new tape drive.
You need to create device files for each tape drive only once. If you add more than one tape
drive, the next time you run MAKEDEV, it will create /dev/[n]rmt1[lhma], then
/dev/[n]rmt2[lhma], and so on for the additional tape drives.
