Finding Existing SCSI Controllers and Devices
SCSI ID #7 is almost always dedicated to the SCSI controller. Never configure your target device for
ID 7 unless you are absolutely sure that the controller is not addressed for ID 7.

Use File Manager to open the file /etc/ddr.dbase and create an entry as follows:
SCSIDEVICE
#
Type=tape
Name="CERTANCE""ULTRIUM 2"
#
PARAMETERS:
TypeSubClass=tk
TagQueueDepth=0
MaxTransferSize=0x0ffffff#(16MB-1)
ReadyTimeSeconds=180#seconds
CMD_PreventAllow=supported
CMD_ExtReserveRelease=supported
BlockSize=0
PwrMgmt_capable=0
DENSITY:
#
DensityNumber=0,2,3,4,5,6,7
DensityCode=default
CompressionCode=0x0
Buffered=0x1
DENSITY:
#
DensityNumber=1
DensityCode=default
CompressionCode=0x1
Buffered=0x1
Save the file. Then run the following command:
ddr_config-c
ddr_config
takes the default input file,
ddr.dbase
, and builds a new device database. This com-
mand takes effect immediately, without having to rebuild the kernel.
NOTE: ddr.dbase is a Unix shell script and is not written in C. This means # is used to signify a
comment, not /* and */ or //, as used in C. Make sure any comments included in this file are
preceded with the # character.
