Configuring Tape Drives
To use SCSI tape drives, the following drivers must be configured in the kernel or loaded
as modules:
◆ Standard SCSI driver
◆ SCSI-adaptor driver
◆ SCSI tape (st) driver
◆ Linux SCSI generic (sg) driver
▼ To create device entries (2.4 kernel)
1. Run mknod /dev/sgN c 21 N. N is a decimal number from 0 to 255.
2. Run make_scsi_dev.
Adding Standard Tape Drives (2.4 kernel)
make_scsi_dev creates device files in the /dev/st directory. The names of the no
rewind device files in this directory have the following format:
nh
HOST
c
CHANNEL
t
TARGET
l
LUN
Where:
◆ n is the no rewind on close device file.
◆ HOST is the host bus adaptor.
◆ CHANNEL is channel.
◆ TARGET is the target ID.
◆ LUN is the logical unit number.
When adding tape drives to a Media Manager configuration, you need to specify a no
rewind on close device path. Use the files in the /dev/st directory when configuring
tape drives.
