Introduction

Before you install your tape drive log on to the HP web site, www.hp.com, and download the latest
hardware enablement patch bundle for your operating system. This ensures that you will have the
correct device driver for your tape drive.

Determining the SCSI ID

Before you configure your system to support an HP Ultrium drive, determine what SCSI ID to use. The
ID must be unique for each device attached to the SCSI bus. To list existing devices, use the
following command:
% /sbin/ioscan -f
The output should look similar to the following:
Class
=================================================================================
bc
bc
ba
ext_bus
target
ctl
lan
ba
tty
ext_bus
target
disk
target
ctl
processor 0 62
memory
After you have installed the new tape drive, you can check it has been attached successfully. From a
shell window ( hpterm/xterm ), execute ioscan to display the list of attached devices.
For an HP Ultrium drive, execute the following:
% /sbin/ioscan -f | grep "Ultrium"
The new lines should look similar to the following for a Generation 1 drive, where the 4 in the I
field represents the instance of the SCSI tape driver, not the SCSI ID:
tape 4
or, for a Generation 2 drive:
tape 4
