3 HP (OpenVMS) servers and workstations NOTE: Only SCSI tape drives and autoloaders are supported on OpenVMS. Determining attached devices After connecting the tape drive to your system, boot OpenVMS and check for the presence of the new tape device. Execute the following commands. $ sho dev mk Device Device Error Volume Name Status Count Label MKA4u0s0e:this valueOinnltihneenext comman0d line Free Trans Mnt Blocks Count Cnt $ sho dev MKA400/full Magtape MKA400:, device type HP C7438A, is online, record-oriented device, file-oriented device, available to cluster, error logging is enabled, controller supports compaction (compaction disabled), device supports fastskip (per_io).

Configuring an autoloader on OpenVMS and MRU 1. Find the name of the changer device by executing: $ mcr sysman io auto/log If the DAT tape drive is at device ID mka400, the changer device will be gka401. The parts of the device name are as follows: gk SCSI changer a First SCSI bus 4 SCSI target ID 4 01 LUN 01 2. Enter the following, replacing gka401 with the changer device file you found in step 1: $ mcr sysman io connect gka401: /driver=sys$gkdriver.exe/noadapter $ define/system mru_robot gka401 To maintain these changes across reboots, edit the sys$startup_vms.com file to include these two lines.
