Configuring Robotic Controls
3. The commands to create the passthru device file for the tape drive follow. See the
“Command Summary” on page 70 for the mknod command format or see the
scsi_ctl(7) man page.
cd /dev/sctl
/usr/sbin/mknod c3t0l0 c 203 0x030000
These commands create the following passthru device file.
/dev/sctl/c3t0l0
Although the passthru device file is used during NetBackup operation, it is not
specified during configuration. During Media Manager tape drive configuration, the
following no rewind on close device file path is used:
/dev/rmt/c3t0d0BESTnb
Configuring Device Files for the spt Passthru Driver
Use the following procedure to configure these types of device files. See “Determining
Which Passthru Driver to Configure” on page 55 to determine if you require these files.
Note The HP-UX kernel has to be configured to use the spt SCSI passthru driver. Refer
to the HP-UX scsi_pt (7) man page.
The device files for the spt driver have the following format:
/dev/spt/c
CONTROLLER
t
TARGET
l
UNIT
Where:
◆ CONTROLLER is the Instance number of the controlling bus. The Instance value is
displayed in the output of ioscan -f in the column labeled I of the controller’s
entry (ext_bus in the column labeled Class).
◆ TARGET is the SCSI ID of the robotic control.
◆ UNIT is the SCSI logical unit number (LUN) of the robot. This is usually 0.
You must create the device files for the spt driver manually, as they are not created
automatically when the system boots.
▼ To create these device files
These steps are also documented in the scsi_pt(7) man page.
1. Install and configure the driver as described in the man page.
2. Determine the character major number of the spt driver using lsdev -d spt.
