Bringing Up a Cartridge Tape Drive

If a tape drive is down, the PUP UP command makes the drive accessible to user

processes. You bring up a tape drive during installation and any time you want to

restore the device to an operational state after placing it in the DOWN state.

You must be a super-group user to use the PUP UP command.

Example

To bring up (place back in operation) the tape drive named $TAPE1, enter the following

command:

> PUP UP $TAPE1

To check that $TAPE1 is actually up, enter the following command:

> PUP LISTDEV $TAPE1

•

A plus sign (+) in the STATE column indicates that the tape drive was started

dynamically using COUP.

•

A blank in the STATE column of the PUP LISTDEV display indicates the tape drive

is in the UP state.

•

For a list of all the possible device states, see the Peripheral Utility Program (PUP)

Reference Manual.
