Configuring Tape Drives Online Using SCF

This subsection describes connecting an external tape drive to a 6760 adapter. A tape

drive can be connected either to the SCSI port of a PMF CRU or IOMF CRU or to a

6760 adapter. An example is given in the following topic Example: Adding a Tape

Drive. For a list of limitations when configuring external tape drives to the 6760

adapter, see Limitations on page 1-4.

For a description of how to connect a tape drive to the SCSI port of a PMF CRU or

IOMF CRU, see the NonStop S-Series Installation Guide.

Example: Adding a Tape Drive

To add a tape drive to the system configuration database, the tape drive need not be

physically installed, but the adapter that controls the tape drive must be installed. Use

the SCF ADD TAPE command to add a tape drive; for example:

•

To add a tape drive with a SCSI ID of 5 named $TAPE0 to SAC 1 of a 6760

adapter in group 02, module 01, slot 54, enter the following command at an SCF

prompt:

-> ADD TAPE $TAPE0, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (2,1,54),&

-> SAC 1, DEVICEID 5

For complete details about the SCF ADD TAPE command including command syntax,

see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
