Do not have doc for that. But roughly you will be required to follow following steps.

1. Shutdown system. (you can do online, but may run into lbolt errors and/or system problems.

2. Set correct scsi id for tape drive.

3. Check termination.

4. connect cables. check for connections.

Hope this helps.

You do need to do anything. Just connect the dat24 and reboot the box.

The device files will be created under /dev/rmt dir.

Hello Peter;

If you installed your system with no tape drive connected to it maybe you nedd to insert the driver to the kernel to make the tape works.

Go to SAM -> KERNEL CONFIGURATION -> DRIVERS and insert the "tape2" driver.
Aftre doing this (and of course reboot) you will see your tape as CLAIMED in ioscan and the device files created.
