Installation This section describes how to install the tape drive and how to configure the HP-UX operating system to recognize and communicate with the tape drive. 2. 1 Before You Begin Before you install the tape drive, follow these steps: 1. Attach the tape drive to the SCSI interface. Make sure that the hardware has the appropriate SCSI interface for the tape drive. If you have a SCSI single-ended (SE) tape drive, you need a SCSI SE interface; if you have a SCSI low-voltage differential (LVD) or high-voltage differential (HVD) tape drive, you need a SCSI LVD or HVD interface. Obtain the appropriate manual for your tape drive as listed in Table 1. These manuals provide detailed hardware installation instructions, including switch and jumper settings and information about SCSI bus termination. 4. 4 November 2002 6464118-01 Installing an SDLT or DLTtape Tape Drive into an HP-UX System Note: To view these manuals online, go to: http://www. quantum. com/AM/ support/DLTtapeDrivesMedia/Manuals/Default. htm.

Preferred over the SDLT 220 Product Manual; information is more up-to-date. 2. 2 Installing the Tape Drive To install the tape drive, follow these steps: 1. 2. Shut down your workstation or server and remove AC power from the system. Follow instructions in your product manual to install the tape drive and set the SCSI ID. 6464118-01 November 2002 5 Installing an SDLT or DLTtape Tape Drive into an HP-UX System 2. 3 Enabling Hardware Compression on the SDLT 320 Tape Drive To enable hardware compression on the SDLT 320 tape drive, follow these steps: 1. Type ioscan -f to obtain the instance number from the list for your tape drive, for example, 0 [zero]. Type mksf -d stape -I <instance #> -b <density code(in decimal)> -c <compression code(in decimal)>, for example: mksf -d stape -I 0 -b 147 -c 16 2. This creates a device file in the format <c#t#d#D###C###>, for example: c0t14d0D147C16. IMPORTANT: This device node is created with a rewind at the end of backup. To create a node with no rewind capability, and with the Berkley format, type in the following: n (non-rewind) b (Berkley) nb (non-rewind Berkley) add -n add -u add -u -n The following is an example of a line of code to enable hardware compression on the SDLT 320 tape drive: tar -cvf /dev/rmt/ c#t#d#D###C## /name of folder tar -cvf /dev/rmt/c0t14d0D147C16 /usr Another example (with no rewind and the Berkley format): tar -cvf -u -n /dev/rmt/ c#t#d#D###C## /name of folder 6 November 2002 6464118-01 Installing an SDLT or DLTtape Tape Drive into an HP-UX System 2. 4 Installing a Patch to the Operating System Patches allow the operating system to recognize your tape drive and utilize every possible feature. Patches can be one of the following two types: tape driver (PHKL) or fbackup/frecover (PHCO). The tape driver patch is necessary for installation, and the fbackup/frecover patch is required if you intend to use HP's fbackup/frecovery utility with your tape drive. Table 2 specifies the patches for each operating system and hardware. Table 2. Hewlett-Packard (HP) Patches Operating System and HP Model Number HP_UX 10. 01 HP9000/700 HP9000/800 HP_UX 10. 10 HP9000/700 HP9000/800 HP_UX 10. 20 HP9000/700 HP9000/800 HP_UX 11. 0 HP9000/700/ 800 PHKL_18543 PHKL_20530 PHKL_26784* PHCO_19732 Patch(es) PHKL_11522 PHKL_11521 PHKL_14062 PHCO_8968 PHCO_8968 PHKL_16167 PHKL_19804 PHKL_14061 PHCO_8968 PHKL_16750 HPKL_20528 PHCO_18135 PHKL_16751 PHKL_20063 PHCO_18135 PHCO_8968 *. Install this patch if you are using an HP-UX Model D370 with an SDLT 220 tape drive. Note: To download the patches from Hewlett-Packard's web site, go to http://www. hp. com/. Because of the nature of HP's patch database, patch IDs are subject to change. To install patches, follow these steps: 1. If you haven't already done so, log in as root. [. . . ] Therefore, you cannot use a DLT 2500, DLT 2500XT, DLT 2700, DLT 2700XT, DLT 4500, or DLT 4700 in random access mode. You can access the mini-library in sequential mode only. Note: At 10. 20 and above, you can use the HP-UX mc media changer commands to operate the mini-library robotics. Refer to HP-UX mc man page for requirements and usage. [. . . ]
