Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem by
Modifying the CONFTEXT File
5190 or 5194 Drive for a Memory Dump (NonStop Himalaya K-Series Servers) on
page 4-56.
Tape Load Considerations
How the system is configured affects what devices can be used for a tape load. If you
want to perform a tape load with a 5190 or 5194 tape drive, verify that the system is
properly set up to do it. For details, see Using a 5190 or 5194 Drive for a Tape Load
(NonStop Himalaya K-Series Servers) on page 4-57.
Modifying the MULTIFUNCTION_CONTROLLERS Paragraph
For a multifunction controller (MFC), you need an entry in the
MULTIFUNCTION_CONTROLLERS paragraph of your configuration file.
1. Specify the name of the multifunction controller (in the examples, MFUNC1).
2. Specify 3681 as the product number for the multifunction controller.
3. Specify the processor numbers and, for NonStop Himalaya K10000 and K20000
servers, the channel numbers.
4. Determine the subchannel address, using Table 2-1 on page 2-14.
Example for the NonStop Himalaya K2, K100, K200, K1000, and K2000 servers:
!Controller/ Product Processor Subchannel
!CIU name Number Numbers Address
!
MFUNC1 3681 1,0 %140; !slot 67
Example for the NonStop Himalaya K10000, K1000SE, K20000, and K2000SE
servers:
!Controller/ Product Processors/ Subchannel
!Name Code Channels Address
!
MFUNC1 3681 0.0,1.0 %240; !slot 60
Modifying the CONTROLLERS Paragraph
The entry you need to make to the CONTROLLERS paragraph of your configuration
file depends on which controller you are attaching the tape drive to.
Multifunction Controller (MFC)
1. Specify the name of the logical tape controller (in the examples, TAPEA).
2. Specify 3216 as the product number for the logical tape controller.
3. Specify the name of the MFC to which the logical tape controller is attached (in the
examples, MFUNC1).
4. Specify %010 for the offset.
