Enterprise Tape Library 4/1000 Installation Guide for Sun Systems—January 1997
Cycling Power to the Tape Library
After setting the SCSI IDs for the tape library and drives, follow these steps:
1. Turn the power off to the tape library.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Turn the power back on to the tape library.
Starting Up Your Sun System
After you have finished configuring the tape library, turn the power on to any
peripherals and to your Sun system.
Verifying the
st.conf
File Configuration
Halt the operating system by following the normal procedure.
1. Reboot the system with the
-r
option to recognize the tape library:
Watch the boot messages for any indications of problems with the
st.conf
entry.
Note any indicated line numbers. If any error messages occur, edit the
st.conf
file again (see page ) and then reboot.
2. Install a tape cartridge in the tape drive and wait for the drive to fully
load the cartridge.
3. Verify that the
st.conf
entry is correct.
You may need to replace the 0 with 1, 2, and so on, until you find the
number that the system has identified for the new device.
