Using COUP
Example 3: Defining and Adding a Tape Drive
After adding a controller for the tape drive (see the examples on page 2-8 and page
2-9) to your system configuration, you are ready to add a tape drive. The following
example uses COUP to define and add a tape drive named $TAPE1 to the controller
named TAPEA on the MFC.
The following are notes about this example:
•
The ASSUME command sets the object type so you don’t have to specify it in each
command that follows.
•
The SET commands define the attributes that you would define in the
PERIPHERALS paragraph of the CONFTEXT file:
°
Product number
°
Controller name
°
Unit number
•
The SHOW command lets you verify that you have set all required attributes. It
identifies missing but required attributes with an asterisk (*).
•
The ADD command names the device you have defined (the tape drive) and adds
it to the configuration file.
Considerations
•
Always use 5190 as the product number when configuring either the 5190 or 5194
tape drive.
•
Unit numbers are determined by the controller and must match the device ID of the
drive.
An MFC can control only one tape drive. Therefore, the only valid unit number for
a drive attached to an MFC is 5.
