When configuring a tape drive, have available the following additional
documentation:
■ Continuum 600 and 1200 Series: Tape-Drive Operation Guide (R442), HP-UX
Operating System: Continuum Series 400 Hardware Installation Guide (R002H),
HP-UX Operating System: Continuum Series 400-CO Hardware Installation
Guide (R021H), or other appropriate installation guide

■ the online man pages
Tape drives can be configured using either SAM or the command-line interface.
Configuring a Tape Drive
The simplest way to configure a tape drive is to use SAM. If SAM is not loaded on
your system or if you prefer to use the command-line interface, the following
procedure will guide you through the task. You should understand the
instructions before getting started. Instructions on using SAM can be found in the
HP-UX Operating System: Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) and the
Managing Systems and Workgroups (B2355-90157).
1. Log in as root.
2. Check what SCSI addresses are available (that is, what addresses have not yet
been used) on the external SCSI port to which you are attaching the tape drive.
To do this, enter
ftsmaint ls
Check for SCSI addresses used at LSM locations. The new tape drive can use
any unused legal (0–5; 5 recommended) SCSI address. Figure 5-1 shows
sample ftsmaint output.
