Solaris Device Driver (IBMtape) # /opt/IBMtape/tmd -s # rem_drv IBMtape # add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' IBMtape # /opt/IBMtape/tmd 5. Display information on the configured devices by running /opt/IBMtape/tapelist -l. Configuring IBM tape devices with Emulex FC HBAs To configure an IBM tape device with an Emulex FC HBA, complete the following steps: 1. Run the Emulex HBAnyware utility to find and record the mapped target and LUN of the tape device. 2. For lpfc.6.30g or later, update the parameters setting in /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf and reboot the system. If IBMtape driver is used as a tape driver, change the parameter for IBMtape: target-tape="IBMtape If IBMtape driver is used as a changer driver, modify the setting for IBMtape: target-tapechanger="IBMtape" 3. Remove the comment at the beginning of the entry for the Emulex HBA in /usr/kernel/drv/IBMtape.conf: name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=0; If this fails to configure the changer, you may need to add the entries for LUN 0 and 1: name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=X lun=0; name="IBMtape" parent="lpfc" target=X lun=1; 4. Update the entry for the device in the IBMtape.conf file, if necessary. The current entry in IBMtape.conf adds target 255 with LUN 0 and 1. For instance, the following command adds an entry for a mapped device with target 200 and LUN 3: name="IBMtape" class="scsi" target=200 lun=3; 5. Unload and reload the IBMtape driver: # /opt/IBMtape/tmd -s # rem_drv IBMtape # add_drv -m '* 0666 bin bin' IBMtape # /opt/IBMtape/tmd 6. Display information on the configured devices by running /opt/IBMtape/tapelist -l. Configuring IBM tape devices with Sun FC and SAS HBAs To configure an IBM tape device with a Sun FC HBA, complete the following steps: 1. Attach the IBM tape devices on the host. 2. Install the appropriate patch for the Sun HBA driver. 3. Run # cfgadm -al to display the configuration between the HBA and the tape device. Run # cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev Ap_Id to show the medium changer configuration with the HBA. Run # cfgadm -c configure device to configure the tape device with the HBA if needed. 4. Install the IBMtape tape driver by running the # pkgadd -d IBMtape command. 5. Enter the following appropriate lines in /etc/driver_aliases: 134 IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide
