Actions menu and select the Add function. The program at this time will check the kernel to
determine if the necessary drivers are built in, displaying the results.
If necessary, the program will rebuild the kernel. If this occurs, you will have to reboot the
system in order to use the tape drive. For further information on adding tape devices, refer to
Hewlett-Packard’s Installing Peripherals manual, P/N B2355-40041.
E.3
Series 700 System Device Files
The System Administration Manager program automatically creates the appropriate device
files and places them in the /dev/rmt directory, when adding the device through SAM.
Additionally, the device files are created automatically upon system initialization.
E.3.1 HP–UX 9.05
The following naming convention is used for the tape drive SBB, as shown in the examples
listed below:
/dev/rmt/c#d#[hlmc][n][b]
where:
c#
specifies the controller designation, which may contain either two or
three characters, specifies the following:
where
#
is
sc[f]
, in accordance with the following:
s
is the system bus module:
2
= core I/O (the default)
4
= EISA SCSI
c
is the slot number:
0
for core I/O
n
for EISA, the value is determined by the slot number as reported
by the H/W path reported by “ioscan.”
f
is the function number. This value identifies the location on the core I/O
bus. For the SCSI interface, the value is 1. If you are using the EISA
SCSI interface, the
f
value is 0.
d#
designates the SCSI address of the tape drive, where
#
here identifies a
number value.
h/l/m/c
specifies density, with
h
meaning high density,
l
meaning low density,
m
meaning standard DDS format, and
c
meaning data compression.
1
n
specifies no rewind on close.
b
specifies Berkeley behavior.
For additional information about magnetic tape operation, refer to mt(7) of the
HP-UX Reference
manual (P/N B 2355-90033) or the Man pages.
_______________
1The
h
,
l
, and
m
device designations all yield the same result. The
c
device designation enables
compression.
