Use the following steps to add an entry to the PERIPHERALS
paragraph of the configuration file. For more information about
specifying PERIPHERALS paragraph entries for tape devices, see
the System Generation Manual for Disk and Tape Devices.
1. Specify the logical device name of the tape drive. (The
examples use $BACKUP and $DUMP.)
2. Specify the name of the controller for each drive. Use the
controller name specified in the CONTROLLERS paragraph.
(Either the MFC logical tape controller or the 3216 name. The
examples use TAPEA.)
3. Append the unit number to the controller name. A
T16/5155/5159 DLTtape Drive FRU drive attached to an
MFC always uses unit number 5. The 3216 controller can
support two tape drives with the unit numbers 4 and 5. The
SCSI ID configured during installation using operator buttons
on the front panel of the drive FRU must match the unit
number. For more information on the SCSI ID, see “Checking
and Setting the SCSI ID”.
4. Specify 5190 as the macro name. (The T16/5155/5159
DLTtape Drive FRU drive(s) use the same macro.)
5. Specify the compression modifier following the macro name.
This modifier is valid only for the 5190/5150/5151/5155/5159
tape drives. The modifier enables or disables compression mode
for the 5150/5151/5155/5159 tape drive:
