7. Power on your peripherals and then your system.
Note – If your system starts to reboot, interrupt the reboot process by pressing the
Stop and A keys together.
8. Reboot your system using the boot -r command.
9. Load a tape cartridge into the tape drive (see “Loading a Tape Cartridge”
on page 13).
Wait for the tape drive to fully load the tape cartridge.
Note – If all of the LEDs on the right or left side of the tape drive front panel are
blinking, then the tape drive has failed its power-on self-test (POST). Go to
“Troubleshooting” on page 6.
10. Determine to which remote number the tape drive has been mapped.
a. Process the remote numbers in the /dev/rmt directory.
For example, a system with two tape drives (one connected to an internal SCSI
host adapter and one to an external host adapter) might return:
b. Find the remote number that contains the controller and SCSI ID (st) number
for the tape drive you installed.
In the previous example, the remote number 0 would be used for a tape drive
connected to SCSI ID 4 on SCSI host adapter at dma@f,81000/esp@f,80000.
11. Verify that the system recognizes the tape drive.
# ls -l /dev/rmt/? | sed ‘s/.*rmt\///’
# mt -f /dev/rmt/remote_number status
# ls -l /dev/rmt/? | sed ‘s/.*rmt\///’
