Installing a Tape Library on an HP S700 Running HP-UX 10.x
See the man page for “scsi_ctl” for the most recent and accurate information on this procedure.
-
Use the command /usr/sbin/lsdev -d sctl to check whether the SCSI pass-through driver is installed.
-
If the driver is installed, output similar to the following appears:
-------------------------------------------------
Character Block Driver Class
203 -1 sctl pseudo
-------------------------------------------------
In this sample the major number of the sctl driver is 203. If the driver is installed, proceed directly to step 8.
- If the driver is not installed, the second line of the output will be blank. If the driver is not installed, proceed to the next step.
-
-
Start SAM (system administration tools) to add the pass-through driver.
-
Choose Kernel Configuration.
-
Choose Drivers.
-
Select sctl SCSI pass-through driver.
-
The pass-through driver is added to the kernel by the operating system.
-
Verify that the driver has been added successfully by executing
/usr/sbin/lsdev –d sctl
-
On your controller node, run detect -i at the command prompt. detect -i generates the device file for the media changer and places it in the dev directory.
Example:
/dev/c0t5d0_sa.It also creates all necessary mappings for the media changer device.
The installation of the tape library media changer device file is complete. To test the installation, proceed to Chapter 36: Tape Library Verification. Use the media changer device file name (for example, /dev/c0t5d0_sa) as the argument for the tape library interface test program (JItest).
