Power Off the Tape Drives, Create the Device Specific Configuration Entries Optional

Page 79 highlights

HP-UX Device Driver (ATDD) Note: This example shows that three devices are CLAIMED by the ATDD. If you have a single 3590 device operating in one LUN mode, then you would have only a single ATDD_HWPATH entry. If you have four tape devices attached, four ATDD_HWPATH entries are required in the configuration file. Create the Device Specific Configuration Entries (Optional): The ATDD is shipped with default settings for all configuration parameters. To change these settings, an entry is made in the configuration file assigning an appropriate value to the desired configuration variable. Each device may have a different value for each configuration variable. The index number associated with the configuration variable associates the parameter setting with the device at the hardware path with the same index. Example 1: ATDD_IMMEDIATE[0]=1 This parameter allows application control to return from the device before the rewind completes for the device at hardware path 0/10/0/0.1.0 (based on the hardware path entry in "Create the Hardware Path Entry" on page 60). Example 2: ATDD_TRAILER[1]=1 This parameter allows write operations after an early end-of-tape warning for the device at hardware path 0/10/0/0.6.0. Refer to Table 9 on page 76 and Table 10 on page 77 for a description of all configuration parameters. Note: If you experience difficulties with your tape device, check the /etc/rc.log for errors and correct the problem. Power Off the Tape Drives When the ATDD software is initially installed, it attaches itself to all tape drives that are in the CLAIMED state as shown by entering the command: # ioscan -fk -C tape Before you continue, make sure all devices CLAIMED with the preceding command are devices you want this device driver to manage.

Note:
This example shows that three devices are CLAIMED by the ATDD. If you
have a single 3590 device operating in one LUN mode, then you would
have only a singleATDD_HWPATH entry. If you have four tape devices
attached, fourATDD_HWPATH entries are required in the configuration file.
Create the Device Specific Configuration Entries (Optional):
The ATDD is
shipped with default settings for all configuration parameters. To change these
settings, an entry is made in the configuration file assigning an appropriate value
to the desired configuration variable. Each device may have a different value for
each configuration variable. The index number associated with the configuration
variable associates the parameter setting with the device at the hardware path with
the same index.
Example 1:
ATDD_IMMEDIATE[0]=1
This parameter allows application control to return from the device before the
rewind completes for the device at hardware path
0/10/0/0.1.0
(based on the
hardware path entry in “Create the Hardware Path Entry” on page 60).
Example 2:
ATDD_TRAILER[1]=1
This parameter allows write operations after an early end-of-tape warning for the
device at hardware path
0/10/0/0.6.0
. Refer to Table 9 on page 76 and Table 10 on
page 77 for a description of all configuration parameters.
Note:
If you experience difficulties with your tape device, check the
/etc/rc.log
for
errors and correct the problem.
Power Off the Tape Drives
When the ATDD software is initially installed, it attaches itself to all tape drives
that are in the CLAIMED state as shown by entering the command:
# ioscan -fk -C tape
Before you continue, make sure all devices CLAIMED with the preceding
command are devices you want this device driver to manage.
To list device file names in the
/dev
directory and its subdirectories, enter:
# ioscan -funC tape
In HP-UX 11i v3, you can also enter:
# ioscan -funNC tape
To remove a tape drive from the CLAIMED state so it is not configured by this
driver, power Off the tape drive and run
ioscan
without the
’-k’
argument as
follows:
# ioscan -f -C tape
