Configuring Tape Drives
Creating SCSI Robotic Control Device Files
Media Manager requires that device files from the /dev/changer directory are used to
configure SCSI robotic control. These files are created by the operating system at boot
time.
To display devices that are available on the system, use the following command:
# hwmgr -view devices
HWID: Device Name Mfg Model Location
3: /dev/kevm
34: /dev/disk/floppy0c 3.5in floppy fdi0-unit-0
55: /dev/disk/cdrom0c COMPAQ CDR-8435 bus-1-targ-0-lun-0
56: /dev/disk/dsk0c DEC RZ2DD-KS (C) DEC bus-2-targ-0-lun-0
57: /dev/disk/dsk1c DEC RZ2DD-KS (C) DEC bus-2-targ-1-lun-0
58: /dev/disk/dsk2c DEC RZ2DD-KS (C) DEC bus-2-targ-2-lun-0
70: /dev/changer/mc0 C6280-4000 bus-2-targ-3-lun-0
71: /dev/ntape/tape6 Quantum DLT4000 bus-2-targ-4-lun-0
Example of SCSI Robotic Control Device File
The previous output the from hwmgr command shows an HP C6280 robot connected on
bus 2 at SCSI ID 3, lun 0. The corresponding device file is /dev/changer/mc0. This file
should be used to configure the device in Media Manager.
Configuring Tape Drives
Read the following topics if you plan to use tape drives:
Fast-Tape Positioning (locate-block)
For most drive types, Media Manager supports the SCSI locate-block command for
positioning a tape to a specific block.
NetBackup uses the locate-block command by default unless you disable it by
executing the following:
touch /usr/openv/volmgr/database/NO_LOCATEBLOCK
With locate-block positioning disabled, NetBackup uses the
forward-space-file/record method of tape positioning.
