Configuring Tape Drives
You can display the newly created logical identifier for the device by using the lsdev
command.
/usr/sbin/lsdev -C -s scsi
hdisk0 Available 00-01-00-0,0 400 MB SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 00-01-00-1,0 400 MB SCSI Disk Drive
rmt0 Available 00-01-00-3,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive
rmt1 Available 00-01-00-5,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive
ovpass0 Available 00-01-6,0 VERITAS Media Changer
The rmt1 device file has been created.
4. If the device files do not exist on a FCP controller, use the following command to
create them, where device is the controller number from step 1 on page 40. For
example, fscsi0.
/usr/sbin/cfgmgr -l
device
5. Ensure that the device being used is configured for variable-mode and extended file
marks as required by Media Manager by using the chdev command as follows,
where Dev is the logical identifier for the drive (for example: rmt0 or rmt1).
/usr/sbin/chdev -l
Dev
-a block_size=0
/usr/sbin/chdev -l
Dev
-a extfm=yes
No Rewind Device File Example
Assume the device files for the desired SCSI 8-mm tape drive (controller 1, SCSI ID 5) do
not exist.
1. Determine the logical identifier for the SCSI controller as follows:
/usr/sbin/lsdev -C -c adapter | grep SCSI
The following output shows that scsi0 is the logical name for SCSI controller 1:
scsi0 Available 00-01 SCSI I/O Controller
2. Check if the device files exist for any device at SCSI ID 5.
/usr/sbin/lsdev -C -s scsi
The following output shows that some device files exist for tape and disk, but not for
the 8-mm tape drive at controller 1 (scsi0) and SCSI ID 5 (5,0):
hdisk0 Available 00-01-00-0,0 400 MB SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 00-01-00-1,0 400 MB SCSI Disk Drive
rmt0 Available 00-01-00-3,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive
