sam will then scan the system for any tape drives connected.
For example, when an HP LTO Ultrium 4 drive is found, it will be displayed as something like:
Hardware Path Driver Description
===========================================================
8/0/2/0.3.0 stape HP Ultrium 4-SCSI
3. Highlight the drive and select the following from the tool bar:
Actions
Create Device Files
Create Default Device Files
This will create default device files for the drive. To view the device files that have been created,
select:
Actions
Create Device Files
Show Device Files
4. When you have exited sam, run ioscan to see the tape drive:
%/sbin/ioscan –fnC tape
All default device files displayed have compression enabled.
NOTE: HP recommends the ‘Berkeley’ device files for most applications:
cXtYdZBESTnb = Berkeley, no rewind, best available density
cXtYdZBESTb = Berkeley, with rewind, best available density
where:
X = card number
Y = target number (drive SCSI ID)
Z = LUN number
