Modifying the PERIPHERALS Paragraph
In the PERIPHERALS paragraph of the CONFTEXT configuration file, you specify the
logical name of the tape drive, the name of the tape controller controlling the tape
drive, the tape unit number, and the macro 5190 (specify 5190 for both the 5190 and
5194 tape drives).
Use the following steps to add an entry to the PERIPHERALS paragraph of your
configuration file. For more information about specifying PERIPHERALS paragraph
entries for tape devices, see the System Generation Manual for Disk and Tape
Devices.
