Configuring the Host System 3

Configuration

Configuring the Host System

Once the library is connected to a host, the Windows NT, Sun

Solaris, HP-UX, and MPE/iXoperating systems must be

configured to recognize it. The procedures are different,

depending on the host system.

4 Configuring the Host System

Windows NT

For Windows NT operating systems, perform the following operating

system configurations:

•Install the appropriate host bus adapter(s)

•Install the corresponding drivers for the interface card(s)

•Install the backup software

To verify the installation, look for the library and drive after powering

up the host.

•Go into Settings -> Control Panel -> SCSI Adapter

•You can also check your installation on Windows NT with HP

diagnostic utilities available from www.hp.com/go/support. See

the Downloads and Drivers section for your library model.

Run a test backup to ensure that all components are properly

configured.

Configuring the Host System 5

Sun Solaris

For Sun Solaris operating systems, perform the following operating

system configurations:

•Install the appropriate host bus adapter(s)

•Install the corresponding drivers for the interface card(s)

•Install the backup software

To verify the installation, look for the library and drive after powering

up the host.

1. Close all open applications and exit the Common Desktop

Environment (CDE).

2. Type “init 0” at any prompt. This will shut down all processes,

and take you to the OpenBoot PROM.

3. Type “reset”.

4. At the OK prompt, type “probe-scsi-all”.

Run a test backup to ensure that all components are properly

configured.

6 Configuring the Host System

HP-UX Hosts

To enable communication between the host and tape library,

appropriate drivers must be configured into the HP-UX kernel. Table

1 shows which drivers are necessary for each device.

NOTE Some drivers have different names, depending on whether or

not they are listed in the output of an ioscan or in the system

file.

Configuring the Host System 7

If these drivers are already installed into the kernel, upon system boot

they will automatically be associated with the hardware that they

control. However, if drivers are missing, they must be installed. For

more information on installing Fibre Channel drivers, refer to the

Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter Service and User Manual

(A3636-90002)

A pass-through driver is used to manage the robotics controller. Since

this driver is not dedicated for this particular device, it must be

manually installed. The following sections describe this process:

•Installing the pass-through driver (below)

•Creating a device file for the robotics controller (page 8)

•Verifying the installation (page 10)

Installing the

Pass-Through

Driver

Obtain information about the peripherals attached to the system:

ioscan -f

The screen should look similar to the following:

Installation

The following procedure assumes the use of a SAM terminal mode.

In X-windows (GUI) mode, use the mouse button to select an option.

1. Run SAM.

2. Select Kernel Config, and press Return.

3. Select Drivers, and press Return.

4. Select sctl.

NOTE If Current State is “In,” proceed to Creating a Device File for

the Robotics Controller. Otherwise, continue with the next

step.

5. From the Menu Bar, select Actions. Select Add Drivers to

Kernel, and press Return.

6. From the Menu Bar, select Actions. Select Create New

Kernel, and press Return.

7. A t t h e

. Press Return.

8. After the status messages, select OK. Press Return. The system

reboots.

Creating a

Device File for

the Robotics

Controller

1. Use the mknod command to create a device file to access the

robotics controller. The command syntax is:

/user/sbin/mknod /dev/scsi/<devfilename> c

•<devfilename> is the user-defined name of the device file.

•<majornum> is the character major number from the lsdev

command.

•<minornum> is the minor number in the format 0xIITL00;

where II is the two-digit card instance number in

hexadecimal; Tis the target SCSI ID number; Lis the LUN

number, and 00 is reserved.
