Configuring Tape Drives

No rewind on close device files are in the /dev/rmt directory, and have the following

format:

/dev/rmt/

LOGICAL_DRIVE

cbn

Where:

◆ LOGICAL_DRIVE is the logical drive id, as shown by the sgscan command.

◆ c indicates compression.

◆ b indicates Berkeley-style close.

◆ n indicates no rewind on close.

Examples of No Rewind Device Files

Example 1

Using the sgscan output, if an Exabyte 8505C drive is SCSI ID 2 of adapter 1, the device

path you use follows:

/dev/rmt/7cbn

Example 2

Using the sgscan output, if a DLT7000 drive is SCSI ID 5 of adapter 2, the device path

you use follows:

/dev/rmt/11cbn

Configuring Nonstandard Tape Drives

Nonstandard drive types may require changes to the kernel before you can use them on

some levels of Solaris. The st.conf file must be edited and an entry must be added for

any drive types you are using that are not supported by Solaris or if you want to use any

of the VERITAS lab-tested drive entries. See “Editing the st.conf File” on page 19 and

“Lab-Tested st.conf Entries” on page 20.

Depending on your Solaris system level, you may be able to use some tape drives without

editing the entries in this file. Solaris operating systems have built-in defaults for drives

that may be used. Note that the drive must be natively supported by Solaris in a manner

that is compatible with NetBackup.

Refer to the header section of your st.conf file for a list of drives that are natively

supported in the Solaris kernel.
