Solaris System
Tape Device Attachment Test
The following procedure tests the attachment of a tape device to a Sun Solaris
system. The procedure assumes that your device is attached at
/dev/rmt/0st
. When
you are told to enter information, press
Enter
after following the instruction. When
the utility displays information, use the appropriate hardware manual to verify
that the information is reasonable.
1.
Bring up a shell prompt.
2.
Enter
tapeutil
. A menu is displayed.
3.
Enter
1
(Open a Device).
4.
Enter
/dev/rmt/0st
when prompted for the device name.
5.
Enter
1
(Read/Write).
6.
Enter
D
(Device Info).
7.
Enter
10
(Inquiry).
8.
Enter
Q
to quit
tapeutil
.
Autochanger Device Attachment Test
The following procedure tests the attachment of an autochanger device to a Sun
Solaris system. The procedure assumes that your device is attached at
/dev/rmt/0smc
and that the ACF is in Random mode. You also need a cartridge in at least one of
the slots.
When you are told to enter information, press
Enter
after following the instruction.
When the utility displays information, use the appropriate hardware manual to
verify that the information is reasonable.
1.
Bring up a shell prompt.
2.
Enter

when prompted for the device name.
5.
Enter
1
(Read/Write).
6.
Enter
D
(Device Info).
7.
Enter
