Installation in Other Devices
2
Follow the instructions in this chapter to configure and install a DLT4000 tape
drive in systems or enclosures other than a Multi-Tape Backup Tray.
Caution – Do not install a SPARCstorage DLT4000 tape drive in a
SPARCserver™ 2000 system rack.
Installation
1. Determine your operating system using the
uname -rs
command.
Caution – For SunOS 5.4, 5.5, or 5.5.1 operating systems, you must perform the
procedures in Appendix A, "Modifying the
st.conf
File," before proceeding.
2. Shut down the operating system.
Use either the
init
or
shutdown
command. See the man pages for these
commands or the Solaris AnswerBook online documentation.
3. Determine the SCSI device identifier (SCSI ID) for the tape drive.
To check for an available SCSI ID, enter
probe-scsi-all
at the
ok
prompt. Use a SCSI ID that is not returned by this command. Tape drives
are usually set to a SCSI ID of 4 or 5. Write down the SCSI ID (and SCSI host
adapter identifier) for future use.
