5.4 Sun Solaris
5.4.1 Tape Drive Installation
1. Install the Tandberg LTO HH Tape Drive.
2. Turn on the SUN workstation or server.
3. Use rm –f /dev/rmt/* to remove any reference to old tape device, and then use devfsadm –c tape.
This reconfigures the /dev/rmt directory for the LTO HH to work properly on the machine.
For improved performance using the Tandberg LTO HH, a specific system file can be modified:
/kernel/drv/st.conf

5.4.2 Sun System Command
TAR, CPIO and DD allow simple Backup, Verify or Restore operations to be performed.
Two different device drivers can be used:
• A Non Rewind device driver (used to perform append backup)
• A Rewind device driver (used only to perform overwrite backup)
Tar command examples:
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0cb /etc performs the backup of the /etc directory
tar tvf /dev/rmt/0cb reads the data on the tape
tar xvf /dev/rmt/0cb restores the data from the tape to the current directory tree.
For a complete explanation on how to use the system commands, please refer to the Sun
documentation, or the online help. (MAN command).
