[. . . ] Operating-system configuration dip switches The figure below shows the location of the operating-system configuration dip switches on the bottom of the internal Scorpion 40. Note: If the drive is to be used with an operating system other than those described here, these switches should be left in their default positions.

SYS driver from Microsoft, you must set Switch 10 (the Inquiry-String switch) to OFF. If you use Windows NT 4. 0 with the STDAT4. SYS driver from Seagate, you can leave the Switch 10 in to ON (the default setting). In either case, switches 5 through 8, the UNIX configuration switches, should all be set to ON (the default settings). [. . . ] Look through the file to locate the database entry for the "TLZ07 RDAT" drive. Make a copy of this entry and paste it later in the file, taking care to maintain the syntax of the C source. Modify the new entry as shown below. /* Seagate DAT Drive Returning "SEAGATE DAT" Inquiry */ {"SEAGATE DAT", 14, DEV_TLZ07, ALL_DTYPE_SEQUENTIAL << DTYPE_SHFT) | SZ_RDAT_CLASS, struct pt_info *)ccmn_null_sizes, SZ_NO_BLK, (DEC_MAX_REC - 1), &tlz07_dens, NO_MODE_TAB, SZ_NO_FLAGS, NO_OPT_CMDS, SZ_READY_DEF, SZ_NO_QUE, DD_REQSNS_VAL | DD_INQ_VAL, 36, 64 }, 4. Rebuild the kernel using the doconfig script. Then reboot the system. Scorpion 40 configurations for Windows NT, Novell, and UNIX 7 Configurations for the Sun UNIX environment Dip switch settings Before using the Scorpion 40 in a Sun UNIX environment, set the operating-system dip switches as shown below: Operating System / tape driver software Sun UNIX Switch 5 ON Switch 6 OFF Switch 7 ON Switch 8 ON Sun OS 4. 1. x To configure SunOS 4. 1. x to use the Scorpion 40, you must modify the stdef. h and st_conf. c files (in the directory /usr/sys/scsi/ targets), then rebuild the kernel, as described below: 1. Modify the stdef. h file by adding a define statement for the Seagate drive like the one shown below: #define ST_TYPE_SEAGATE_DAT <value> This statement should be added after the last ST_TYPE_ define statement in the file. <value> should be the next unused hexadecimal value. This value will depend on the release and number of devices supported by the system. For example, if the last value for an existing device is 0x2d, then use a value of 0x2e. Modify the st_conf. c file by adding the following lines at the end of the device definition list: /*Seagate DAT drive support */ { "SEAGATE DAT", 7, "SEAGATE", ST_TYPE_SEAGATE_DAT, 10240, (ST_VARIABLE|ST_BSF|ST_BSR|ST_LONG_ERASE|ST_KNOWS_EOD), 5000, 5000, {0x0, 0x8c, 0x8c, 0x8c}, {0, 0, 0, 0} } 3. Use the config command to rebuild the kernel and include the new device definition. Refer to the config man page for details. Scorpion 40 configurations for Windows NT, Novell, and UNIX Solaris 2. x 1. To configure Solaris 2. x for compatibility with the Scorpion 40, add the following lines to the file st. conf in the directory /kernel/drv. tape-config-list= "SEAGATE DAT 06240-XXX", "Seagate DAT Drive", "SEAGATE_DAT"; SEAGATE_DAT = 1, 0x34, 0, 0xd639, 4, 0x00, 0x8C, 0x8C, 0x8C, 3; 8 Note: The inquiry string above contains four spaces between the word DAT and the value 06240. After modifying the file st. conf, you must reconfigure the kernel by booting the system using the boot -r command Scorpion 40 configurations for Windows NT, Novell, and UNIX 9 Configurations for the SGI environment Dip switch settings Before using the Scorpion 40 in a SGI UNIX environment, make sure the dip switches are all set to ON, as shown in the table below: Operating System / tape driver software SGI UNIX Switch 5 ON Switch 6 ON Switch 7 ON Switch 8 ON Note: The main difference between tape drive support in Irix 5. x and 6. x is the introduction for Data Compression switching via software in Irix version 6. 2. When running Irix 5. x, the drive will always operate in the compression setting determined by switch 6 on the bottom of the drive (off=compression enabled (default), on=compression disabled). Irix V5. x To configure Irix 5. x to use the Scorpion 40, you must modify the file /var/sysgen/master. d/scsi as described below: 1. Edit the file /var/sysgen/master. d/scsi and add the following entry: {DATTAPE, TPDAT, 7, 12, "SEAGATE", "DAT 06240"/*DAT*/, 0, 0, {0, 0, 0, 0}, MTCAN_BSF|MTCAN_BSR|MTCAN_APPEND|MTCAN_SETMK|MTCAN_PART|MTCAN_PREV| MTCAN_SYNC|MTCAN_SPEOD|MTCAN_CHKRDY|MTCAN_VAR|MTCAN_SETSZ| MTCAN_SILI|MTCAN_SEEK|MTCAN_CHTYPEANY, /* minimum delay on i/o is 12 minutes, to allow the Drives * full error recovery sequence to be performed. */ 40, 12*60, 12*60, 12*60, 512, 512*512 }, Note: The string above contains four spaces between the word DAT and the value 06240. Rebuild the kernel using the autoconfig command (see the autoconfig man page for details ). After the kernel is rebuilt you will need to reboot the system again to bring the changes into effect. Scorpion 40 configurations for Windows NT, Novell, and UNIX Note: Irix 5. 3 and later will detect the changes made and automatically rebuild the kernel the next time the system boots. Irix V6. x through V6. 5 10 To configure Irix 6. x-6. 5 to use a Scorpion 40, you must modify the files /var/sysgen/master. d/scsi and /dev/MAKEDEV. d/TPS_base, as described below. After modifying these files you must rebuild the kernel. [. . . ] The Add a tape Drive entry fields now appear. Some of the standard options need to be changed to maximize drive performance and functionality: · Set the "Connection Address" with the tape drive's Target and LUN (always use 0 for the LUN). In the list, the Target is the first number and the LUN is the second. For example, if the drive is ID 5, choose 5, 0 Set the Fixed "Blocksize" to 1024 Set "Density 1" to 140 · · Scorpion 40 configurations for Windows NT, Novell, and UNIX · Set the "Maximum delay for the Read/Write command" to 900 15 6.
