[. . . ] SCSI ID #7 is almost always dedicated to the SCSI controller. Never configure your target device for ID 7 unless you are absolutely sure that the controller is not addressed for ID 7. See figure 1 to view how to set the SCSI ID address jumpers for the Viper 200. Configuring the Viper 200 using SMIT The Seagate Viper 200 tape drive can be configured to work with AIX Versions 4. 1. x and later by using the SMIT "Other SCSI Tape Drive" option. NOTE: Record the SCSI ID of the tape drive before installing it. To configure AIX using the SMIT utility, use the following procedure: 1. Enter SMIT at the Tape Drive menu by typing "smit tape" T-010, Rev. B November 13, 2001 9LSHU 81, ;&203$7, %, /, 7<*8, '( 2. Select "Add a tape Drive" 6HDJDWH 7DSH 2SHUDWLRQV &RVWD 0HVD &$ 3. Select the type of tape drive you will be adding. Use the "Other SCSI Tape Drive" option. Select the Parent SCSI Adapter from the available list 5. The Add a tape Drive "Entry Fields" now appear. Some of the standard options need can be changed to maximize drive performance and functionality: 1. Set the Connection Address with the Drives Target and Lun ( always use Lun 0 ). 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 2. Set "Use DEVICE BUFFERS during writes" to yes. Set "RETURN error on ape change or reset" to no 5. Set "Use EXTENDED file marks" to yes. Set "RESERVE/RELEASE support" to yes 7. Set "BLOCK SIZE for variable length support(Num. )" to 0 8. Set "Density 1" to 0 Leave the "Set delay. [. . . ] We suggest not using the erase command nor commands which attempt to partition the tape. Partitioning is not suppported in the LTO format. For commands that use density and tape size settings the tape density is 124, 000 bpi and the tape length is 1800 feet. For commands which use a blocking factor we suggest a factor of 128. Configuring for SGI Irix Finding current SCSI controllers and targets In order to properly attach SCSI devices to hosts it is necessary to ensure that each target device has a unique SCSI address.
