Configuring the Host System to Recognize the Sled-Mounted DLT2000XT Tape Drive

After you have installed the DLT2000XT tape drive, you can power on the drive box and

rack. See your Vault Rack owner’s guide if you are not certain of the proper sequence for

bringing the Vault Rack back on line.

For additional system software conﬁguration information, refer to IRIX Admin: Peripheral

Devices.

Conﬁguring the Host System to Recognize the Sled-Mounted DLT2000XT Tape Drive

Depending on how many sled-mounted DLT2000XT tape drives you installed on the

system, some conﬁguration steps may be necessary. The hinv command can conﬁrm if

your system recognizes the new sled-mounted DLT2000XT tape drive(s). Chapter 6

provides sample hinv listings from desktop and deskside units.

If you installed only a DLT2000XT tape drive, it should be ready to use with your

deskside or rackmount system. For information on backing up and restoring data using

the new tape drive, see the Personal System Administration Guide.

Additional information is available in IRIX Admin: Peripheral Devices and the IRIX

NetWorker guides.

Installing the SCSI Patch

Once you have installed the DLT2000XT tape drive in the chassis, load the CD supplied

with the tape drive. Follow information in the release notes for which patches to install

for your system; install the patch(es) with the Inst utility.
