To add a DLT.
1. System O/S running
. connect a SCSI cable between the host and the DLT tape
drive, insure the drive is correctly terminated.
. power on the drive and insert a tape
. login as root
. # cd /dev/rmt
. # ls (are any devices seen-if as you stated no drive
was ever connected then you will not see any)
. # devfsadm -c tape (this command will configure the
new tape drive.)
. cd /dev/rmt
. ls /dev/rmt (you now should the new devices)
. # mt -f /dev/rmt/0 stat (should print out the status)
. (The 0 after /dev/rmt/ is the device instance #)
. If drive is seen then all is okay.
If the drive isn't seen by the devfsadm command then take the system down.
. Install the tape drive and power on
. At the ok prompt do probe-scsi-all (look for a tape)
. If tape drive is seen then boot -r
. after boot up load a tape if not loaded and repeat
the mt -f command.
