9710 (StorageTek) Addendum for NonStop Servers

Addendum to the StorageTek 9710 for the Tandem Environment

Configuring the Compaq System for the 9710 Automated Cartridge Subsystem

6-13

Note: Using COUP to add a tape drive attached to an MFC

requires updated MFC firmware. To add a T16/5155/5159

DLTtape Drive FRU, the system must have a D20.00 or later

software release.

The following example show the sequence of commands to enter

for adding a 3216 logical controller name TAPEA to an MFC

named MFUNC1 with a subchannel offset of %10.

> COUP

CONFIGURATION UTILITY PROGRAM - T9023D30 - (01MAR95) SYSTEM \TEST

CONFIG $SYSTEM.SYS01.OSCONFIG

1) ASSUME CONTROLLER

2) SET PRODUCT 3216

3) SET MF_CONTROLLERNAME (NAME MFUNC1, OFFSET %10)

4) SHOW

PRODUCT 3216

MF_CONTROLLERNAME (NAME MFUNC1, OFFSET %010)

5) ADD TAPEA

The following are notes about the above example:

• The ASSUME command sets the object type so that

specification in each SET command that follows is not

necessary.

• The SET commands define the attributes that would define in

the CONTROLLERS paragraph of the CONFTEXT file. These

attributes are:

♦ The SYSGEN product code for the logical controller

(3216)

The name of the MFC (MFUNC1, in this example)

The offset from the start of the MFC’s subchannel address

for the logical controller to be added (%10).
