Adding a DLT tape drive on a L2000
I'm adding a HP DLT tape drive to my L2000 (running HPUX 11.0). My vendor provided me :
- a DLT tape drive to insert a SMART array
- a SCSI electronic board
- a SCSI cable
- a SCSI terminator.
My smart array has already a DAT tape drive.
While power OFF, I've inserted the board in an empty slot, the DLT in the SMART array and connected the cable and the terminator. Then rebooted.
Doing an ioscan -fnC tape shows me only my DAT and not the DLT.
Do I need to do anything in order the board is recognized, what are the steps ?
Thanks for your help.
Mike.

Re: Adding a DLT tape drive on a L2000
You can do only
insf -e
command to make device files. If it does not work you have to check at the back of the Smart array for the SCSI address of the slot, where you put the tape. Change it to proper one and do insf -e without rebooting.

Borislav

Re: Adding a DLT tape drive on a L2000
Just check the status of the card in ioscan.
SAM-> Pheripheral Devices->Cards
Check the status of all the cards.
It should display a driver and state as active for functional cards.Post the output.
If driver is not loaded for this driver then do it. Or if that card is not visible itself then go to action and do `Diagnose a missing card`.
If card is active & still DLT is not visible then check for SCSI ID set on the tape. Try by varying it.
HTH,
Devender

Thanks for your replies.
Hereafter the result of ioscan -fn.
Apparently the board is known as on device 0/1/0/0 .
regards.

Re: Adding a DLT tape drive on a L2000
According to the ioscan, the special have been created (/dev/rscsi/c6t7d0).
I've also tried insf -e
But how to link this special file to something like /dev/rmt/1** ?
Don't you think I need to execute the command mksf (something like mkfset -C tape ...)
