Appendix A Modifying the st.conf File 19
1. The information about the tape device that the operating environment “sees”
when it “looks at” a tape device.
2. The information the operating environment outputs when queried about the tape
device (by programs such as SunVTS diagnostic software).
3. A string that acts as a pointer to values that will be used to configure the tape
device.
Note – The first two lines of the example end in commas. The last line in the
example ends with a semicolon. You must follow this format when adding multiple
tape devices to the st.conf file.
Configuration Values
The third section contains the values that will be used to configure the tape devices.
It has lines like:
The part of the line before the equal sign (=) is the string that is linked to the values
that will be used to configure a tape device. The second part of the line contains the
configuration values. These values are defined in the st man page.
If you look at the first two examples in the Tape Device Identifiers section, you will
see that both the ARCHIVE Python 28454 and the ARCHIVE Python 29279 lines
end with the string ARCH_Python. This means that the operating environment will
configure both tape devices according to the parameters set in the ARCH_Python
line.
Note – Each line in the configuration section must start with a unique string. Also,
each line in this section ends in a semicolon (;).
# ARCH_Python = 1,0x2c,0,0xde39,4,0x00,0x8c,0x8c,0x8c,3;
