Configuring Tape Drives
Adding Standard Tape Drives
Media Manager requires that no rewind on close device files are used to configure tape
drives. These files are created by the operating system at boot time. The device files are
located in the /dev/ntape directory and have the following format:
/dev/ntape/tape
ID
_d
DENSITY
Where:
◆ ID is the identification number of the tape device.
◆ Values for DENSITY can be 0 - 7. Typically, 1 (for high density) is used.
To display devices that are available on the system, use the following command:
# hwmgr -view devices
HWID: Device Name Mfg Model Location
3: /dev/kevm
34: /dev/disk/floppy0c 3.5in floppy fdi0-unit-0
55: /dev/disk/cdrom0c COMPAQ CDR-8435 bus-1-targ-0-lun-0
56: /dev/disk/dsk0c DEC RZ2DD-KS (C) DEC bus-2-targ-0-lun-0
57: /dev/disk/dsk1c DEC RZ2DD-KS (C) DEC bus-2-targ-1-lun-0
58: /dev/disk/dsk2c DEC RZ2DD-KS (C) DEC bus-2-targ-2-lun-0
70: /dev/changer/mc0 C6280-4000 bus-2-targ-3-lun-0
71: /dev/ntape/tape6 Quantum DLT4000 bus-2-targ-4-lun-0
No Rewind Device File Example
The previous output the from hwmgr command shows a Quantum DLT 4000 tape drive
connected on bus 2 at SCSI ID 4, lun 0. The corresponding device file is
/dev/ntape/tape6.
After adding a density suffix of _d1 (for high density) the device file is
/dev/ntape/tape6_d1. This file should be used to configure the device in Media
Manager.
