2 HP-UX Systems

HP Servers and Workstations—HP-UX 11.x

NOTE:

HP-UX 10.x is only supported by Generation 1 Ultrium drives.

Introduction

Before you install your tape drive log on to the HP web site,

www.hp.com

, and download the

latest hardware enablement patch bundle for your operating system. This ensures that you will

have the correct device driver for your tape drive.

Determining the SCSI ID

Before you configure your system to support your new HP Ultrium drive, you need to determine

what SCSI ID to use. The SCSI ID must be unique for each device attached to the SCSI bus. To

list the existing devices, use the following command:

% /sbin/ioscan -f

The output of this should look similar to the following example:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=================================================================================
bc 0 root CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS
bc 1 8 bc CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS Psudo Bus Converter
ba 0 8/0 GSCtoPCI CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS GSCtoPCI Bridge

ctl 2 8/16/5.7.0 sctl CLAIMED DEVICE Initiator
processor 0 62 processor CLAIMED PROCESSOR Processor
memory 0 63 memory CLAIMED MEMORY Memory

After you have installed the new tape drive, you can check that it has been attached

successfully. From a shell window (

hpterm/xterm

), execute

ioscan

to display the list of

attached devices.
