Addiing support for tape drive to existing kernel

Hi,

I installed hp-ux 9.04, but its in not recognizing a tape drive. This is the drive i have to use for restoration.

Can anyone advise me how to add tape drive support to the existing kernel.

Thx,

Re: Addiing support for tape drive to existing kernel

Use SAM > Kernel Configuration > Drivers, then select any tape drivers (stape, tape2, etc) and then Action > Add to Kernel. The Actions > Process New Kernel to build a new kernel with the tape drivers included.

P.S. The SAM steps were from a 11.11 system so your 9.04 version of SAM may have slightly different choices.

I think it could be tape1 or tape2, depending on your server model.

Hope this helps!

Shalom and congrats.

You have installed a version of HP-UX that was obsolete 15 years ago.

I was wondering what the business need here is.

I would also point out, you seem to be relying on this forum for advice and not showing good etiquette. Your chosen user name gives the impression you have official standing with the forums and:
