not able to configure tape drive
o/s: Tru64unix 5.1
problem:
system not booting , want to restore a particular file from the backup in a tape...
(unable to even to boot in a singlr user mode)
so booted from cd...able to mount root disk partition..but unable to configure the tape drive..
from /dev ran ./MAKEDEV tape...but it fails since MAKEDEV doesnot know "tape"...it only can create tz devices..but it does not work..

Re: not able to configure tape drive
have you tried hwmgr -scan scsi, when in single user mode? This should create the necessary devices. It should also work, if you try scu show edt, ./MAKEDEV tz(bus*8+target).
greetings,
Michael

Re: not able to configure tape drive
# dn_setup -install_tape
Comes from chaptre 3.6.1 --> point 7
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_ACRO_DUX/ARH8TETE.PDF
Create a device special file for the tape device:
# /sbin/dn_setup -install_tape
You may see messages such as +tape0 that list the device names that
are created during this operation.
Enjoy..

Re: not able to configure tape drive
# scu scan edt all
# scu show edt all
# hwmgr -view dev
# /sbin/dn_setup -install_tape
# hwmgr -view dev
At this point you should see the tape drive as /dev/ntape/tapen (n is the number)
and it should work then

Re: not able to configure tape drive
Please have a look into the manual. Use hwmgr -scan scsi and hwmgr -show scsi to detect the name of your tape drive.
