Hi,

How to configure 4/8 tape drive in hpunix 11
no problem in tape drive.

Add the driver stape to your kernel.

Reboot the server
run : 'ioscan -funC tape' to see the device file

Shalom Aryan,

The easiest way to put the stape driver in the kernel is with sam.

from the command line as root:

make sure your TERM variable is set to something normal.
echo TERM
export TERM=vt100
# actual setting depends on connect software
sam
# enter twice to get it going
Kernel Configuration
drivers

scroll down to stape
stape In In Driver Static N/A

It will not say Out if this is the problem. Select it, choose in and you will be prompted to recompile your kernel followed by a system boot.

The boot is unavoidable.

See the o/p of
#ioscan -fnC tape
#insf -e
# /usr/sbin/kmsystem -q stape

it should be in configured state.
#man kmsystem
