TAPE APPLICATION NOTE

CG00000-016401

CONNECTING THE M2488 TO AN

IBM RISC SYSTEM 6000 RUNNING AIX 3.2

FOREWORD

This application note describes the procedure to use when attaching to an IBM RISC System 6000 running AIX 3.2.

Instructions cover installing the M2488 tape drive hardware and conﬁguring the system to communicate with the

M2488. The system manuals provide detailed descriptions of many of the operations performed in this application

note.

PROCEDURE

You must be superuser to perform the operations in this procedure.

Displays are presented in this typeface: /etc/passwd

User entries are presented in this typeface: boot

STEP ACTION

1 Shut down the IBM RS/6000 and power the unit off.

2 Ensure that the M2488 is properly terminated and connect the M2488 tape drive to the RS/6000’s SCSI

controller. The M2488 Cartridge Tape Drive Product Guide (part number CG00000-0115xx) may be

useful for conﬁguration of the M2488. Set the SCSI target ID to either 4 or 5. Address 4 will be used for

the examples in this application note.

3 Power on the M2488 and wait for the power cycle to complete.

4 Turn the RS/6000 AC power on and reboot the system. The key should be set to the “Normal” position.

5 Log on as root.

6 During the boot sequence, the system adds the M2488 to its customized conﬁguration table as a deﬁned

tape drive. Verify that the system has added the M2488.

From the aixterm command line, type smit, then choose:

• Select Devices

• Select Tape Drive

• Select List All Deﬁned Tape Drives

STEP ACTION

6 (con’t) The system will display the tape drives connected to SCSI I/O controller(s) as in the example shown

below (note that under “status” below, the system may return a status of “Deﬁned” or “Available”:

name status location description

rmt0 Deﬁned 00-00-0S-40 Other SCSI Tape Drive

Where:

name the logical name of the M2488 (rmt0)

status whether the drive is Deﬁned (known, but not ready for use) or Available (ready for use). If the sta-

tus is reported as “Deﬁned” go to Step 7. If the status is reported as “Available” go to Step 9.

location the SCSI id of the M2488 (5 in the sample) and the address of the SCSI I/O controller (the 0 that

follows the 5 in the sample)

description a short description of the tape drive type. The M2488 is added as “Other SCSI tape drive”

If status was returned as “Deﬁned”, the M2488 has been added to the deﬁned tape drive list as

described in Step 6. Now, change the M2488's status from Deﬁned to Available (deﬁned and ready

for use).

When you are ready, select Done

7 From the smit Devices - Tape Drive window select:

•Conﬁgure a Deﬁned Tape Drive

The system displays a list of deﬁned tape drives. Select the M2488 by its logical address and loca-

tion. The system responds by reporting the status of your command.

To verify that the system has changed the status of the M2488 from deﬁned to available, select

List All Defined Tape Drives. The system displays:

name status location description

rmt0 Available 00-00-0S-40 Other SCSI Tape Drive

8 If the system has returned a status of “Available,” you may want to change the attributes of the

M2488 to meet the needs of the customer's system. Follow these instructions to change tape drive

attributes.

9 From the smit Devices - Tape Drive window select:

•Change / Show characteristics of a Tape Drive

The system displays a table of all of its deﬁned tape drives. Select the M2488 by its logical address

and location.

10 Setting or changing M2488 Attributes

The system will display the attributes assigned to the M2488 tape drive.You can change the follow-

ing attributes as necessary (recommended settings are in UPPER case)

STEP ACTION

10 (con’t)

BLOCK size (0=variable length) 0

Use DEVICE BUFFERS during writes YES

Use EXTENDED ﬁlemarks YES

Do not set to NO

BLOCKSIZE for variable length support 0

DENSITY setting #1 09

Set delay after a FAILED command 10

Set maximum delay for the READ/WRITE command 120

Select DO.

11 To leave smit, select Done,Cancel,Cancel, and Cancel. The smit window will close.

12 To test the M2488 save the “passwd” ﬁle to tape using the tar command:

tar -cvf /dev/rmt0 /etc/passwd

The system responds with: a /etc/passwd 1 blocks

Note: depending on the size of the ﬁle, a different number of blocks may be reported.

13 Verify that the “passwd” ﬁle was saved to tape by executing the following command:

tar tf /dev/rmt0

The system responds with: /etc/passwd
