Quantum Tape Drive LTO-3 - Manual (Page 70)

Chapter 6 UNIX Settings
Configuring for the Sun Environment (Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, and 9)
56 LTO-3 Tape Drive User’s Guide
For example, the command
.dmesg | egrep .target. | sort | uniq.
can find all
SCSI controllers and SCSI targets. The output may look similar to:
sd32 at ithps0: target2 lun0
sd34 at ithps0: target4 lun0
st21 at ithps1: target0 lun0
st22 at ithps1: target1 lun0
In this case, the LTO-3 Tape Drive can be set for SCSI ID address 2
through 6 and attached to controller ithps1 (this particular controller also
supports SCSI addresses 8 through 15).
Types of
Controllers
6
You may be able to view the main pages of three types of SCSI controllers
for Sun Sparc systems:
• esp
• glm
• isp
We recommend that the LTO-3 Tape Drive not be attached to esp
controllers. This controller is not fast enough to work with the LTO-3
Tape Drive. The minimum recommended controller would be a glm
controller, which is an Ultra Wide controller.
We recommend Ultra 160 SCSI-capable controllers capable of 80MB/s
data transfer as a minimum. Slow backups will result if using slower SCSI
controllers.
Configuring the
Device File st.conf
6
To configure Solaris 2.4 and above to use the LTO-3 Tape Drive correctly,
add the following lines to the file
st.conf
in the directory /kernel/drv.
tape-config-list=
"SEAGATE ULTRIUM06242-XXX", "Seagate LTO 1", "SEAGATE_LTO1",
"CERTANCEULTRIUM 2", "Seagate LTO 2", "Certance_LTO2",
"CERTANCEULTRIUM 3", "Seagate LTO 3", "ULTRIUM",
# THE LAST ENTRY IN THIS SECTION MUST END WITH A SEMICOLON
SEAGATE_LTO1 = 1,0x3b,0,0x1d639,4,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,1;
