How to see the type of Drive in Library

[Popy]

Hi All,

Is there any way to find out what type of Drive (Ultrium-1 or 2) that I have in my Tape library from Unix ?

My hardware is rp5470/Hpux 11i/HP Surestore 10/180
What is Ultrium-230? is it ultrium 2 ?

Cheer's

hi,
Can suggest two command:

# ioscan -fnC tape
and
# /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

This should help.

Hi Raneesh,
Ultrium-230 is from 1st generation of ultrium. You can find the generation of ultrium by,
# ioscan -fnC tape
(or)
# mt -t /dev/rmt/0m stat

In the "Drive:" field you can find either it's a ultrium 1 or 2. hope this will help you..

Make sure you have the management card installed in the library and hook up a LAN cable to it. Then assign the IP address, subnet mask and router address to the LAN card from the front panel of the library. Now you can run a browser to see everything about the library including model and serial numbers for the tape drives. Click on the Status tab, then Drives. Note that to see each drive, you must click on the picture.
