Determining the SCSI ID

Before you configure your system to support your Ultrium drive, you need to 

determine which SCSI ID to use. IDs must be unique for each device attached 

to the SCSI bus. To list the existing devices, use the following command:

% lsdev -C |grep SCSI

This will produce output that looks similar to:

scsi0 Available 00-00-0S Standard SCSI I/O Controller

hdisk0 Available 00-00-0S-0 1.0 GB SCSI Disk Drive

rmt1 Defined 00-00-0S-2,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive

The SCSI ID is in the series 

00-00-0S-

X

,0

, where 

X

 is the SCSI ID. Review 

the list of existing SCSI IDs and choose an available ID to assign to the new 

tape drive.

Configuring the Device Files

To install an HP Ultrium drive on an IBM workstation you will need to create 

the appropriate device files for the drive.

Note

Do 

not

 choose the 

smit 

option of “

4mm2gb

” as the Tape 

Device Type. This is reserved for Connor drives. If you use it 

with HP drives, you will get the error “

Device to be 

configured does not match the physical device 

at the specified connection location

”.

To change to variable block mode, use the following procedure: 

1 

If you are using a graphics terminal

 running X-Windows, then at a 

Windows terminal, type: 

smit tape
