Hi,

Although I am not quite sure what tape
drive model yours is, the general way
of setting up a driver for a stand-alone
drive is to add the 'stape' driver to
your kernel. There are two ways, you can
use SAM or the command line:

sam --> kernel configuration --> drivers
Select the 'stape' driver and change
the setting to in. From the actions menu
build new kernel which will prompt to
reboot the system.

If you have HPUX 11 you can easily do this
from the command line.

# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# vi system (and add "stape" without quotes)
save the file

# /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s system
# /usr/sbin/kmupdate
# cd /

Reboot or shutdown

HTH

Michael,

Had to do it manually. It worked.

Thank you,
