Product Notes for Hewlett-Packard
This appendix describes how to include the tape drive SBB in an HP 9000 Series 700 system running HP-UX
9.05 (or later) and Series 800 system running HP-UX 9.04 (or later). The information covers configuration of
the host system to communicate with the tape drive.
E.1 General Information
If the necessary drivers are not already built into your existing kernel, you will need to
rebuild your kernel.
When using the dump utility under HP-UX, you must supply the correct density code and
tape length size for dump to use in its calculations. Refer to Section E.2.2 for details. We
recommend a value of 126 for the blocking factor parameter.
Compression can be enabled/disabled at any time by selecting the appropriate device file
name. See Section E.2.1.3 and E.2.1.4 for device names.
E.2 Modifications Required for HP-UX 9.05 on Series 700 Systems and HP-UX 9.04
