Controlling data compression under AIX
After you run SMIT, device files will have been created for
your new tape drive. Typical filenames are listed below:
/dev/rmt0
/dev/rmt0.1 /dev/rmt0.2 /dev/rmt0.3
/dev/rmt0.4
/dev/rmt0.5 /dev/rmt0.6 /dev/rmt0.7
If you enter the configuration information specified in step 5
of the configuration process, devices rmt0, rmt0.1, rmt0.2
and rmt0.3 will cause the drive to write in compressed mode.
Using devices rmt0.4, rmt0.5, rmt0.6 and rmt0.7 will cause
the drive to write with compression disabled.
