Determining the SCSI ID (Linux)
Look at the output of
dmesg
to find out what SCSI channel number is used for each connection.
To find out the SCSI IDs in use on each channel, type:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
This will produce output similar to the following for each device:
Attached Devices
Host: SCSI0 Channel: 00 Id:00 Lun:00
Vendor: HP Model ------------
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI Revision 02
Look at the ID information to establish which IDs are in use.
Configuring on Linux Systems
No changes are needed to support Ultrium on Linux platforms, however you should ensure that
you have the relevant drivers loaded.
To see the device drivers loaded currently, execute an
lsmod
command, this will give output
like:
Module Size Used by
sgm 4376 1
ide-scsi 7200 0
lockd 30792 1
sunrpc 53316 1
st 24656 0
sym53c8xx 52096 1
aic7xxx 136184 2
The lines of interest here are:
st
This is the tape driver. Its presence in the output of the
lsmod
command shows
that the tape driver is loaded.
