C.3.1 Installation Procedure
NOTES
1. The “SWXTL” designation in the following procedure is the
StorageWorks product name for the TZ87 tape drive.
2. In order to support the addition of this device, drive infor-
mation must be supplied in the
/kernel/drv/st.conf file as
global properties that apply to each of the targets, or as
properties that are applicable to one target only. The "st
driver" looks for the property called "tape-config-list". For
additional information, read the man page
“st”
. We rec-
ommend here the use of the global properties approach.
C.3.1.1 System Modification
Perform the following steps to modify the system to communicate with the SWXTL tape
drive:
1. From the command line, type:
cd
/kernel/drv
2. Edit
the
“st.conf” file by adding the following before the first occurrence of
“name=":
# entry for TZ87 tape drive
tape-config-list = "DEC TZ87",
"DEC 10GB Cart. DLT Streaming /w Compression”, “TZ87-data”;
TZ87-data = 1,0x36,8192,0x1639,4,0x17,0x18,0x80,0x81,3;
