DLT™ TAPE UNIT INSTALLATION

HP® 9000 Series 700 System

HP-UX® 9.X

Installation

The system must have the appropriate SCSI interface for DLT drive to attach to, i.e., a SCSI single-ended

DLT drive can be attached only to a SCSI single-ended interface. The same is true for SCSI differential

attachment. The hardware attachment simply requires the DLT tape peripheral to be attached to the

interface while the system is powered down. After the DLT tape peripheral has been attached, you will

need to perform certain system operations that will allow DLT device system recognition.

Perform the installation as follows:

1. Shutdown the system and remove ac power from the system. Install the DLT tape

peripheral and connect it to its SCSI controller. Refer to the following manual for

switch and jumper settings and SCSI bus termination:

• DLT1/DLT7 Install and Operations Guide Set the DLT SCSI device address to an

unassigned ID.

1. Power up the system. During the power-up, the process allows you to stop the

sequence by pressing the ESC key. By doing so, you can verify drive attachment

by issuing a search for boot device selection. This will display all attached SCSI

devices including the DLT tape drive. The boot process can continue by selecting

the appropriate boot disk.

2. Log on as root and change directory to /dev/rmt

In the next step, you will create a set of device files that will allow DLT device access. These device files

allow certain DLT device modes of operation.

1. Enter the following commands:

mknod 1m c 54 0x201402

mknod 1mn c

54 0x201403

mknod 1c c 54 0x2014c2

mknod 1cn c 54 0x2014c3

The device files created are for an installed DLT device with a SCSI ID of 4 and are shown below along

with their corresponding operating characteristics:

1m - drive 1, rewind on close

1mn-d

rive 1, no rewind on close

1c - drive 1, compressed, rewind on close

1cn - drive 1, compressed, no rewind on close

Associating the device files to a DLT device with a SCSI ID other than

requires that the number "4" in the minor number of the

mknod command be changed to the new ID.

DLT Mini-Library Usage

The HP-UX operating system does not support SCSI-2 media changer device commands. Therefore, an

installed DLT7 mini-library can not be utilized in random access mode and can only be accessed in

sequential mode. Refer to the DLT1/DLT7 Install and Operations Guide for detailed description of these

access modes.
