Viper 200 Installation Manual
Modifying the IRIX configuration file
To attach the Viper 200 to IRIX the file 'scsi' needs to be
modified by a text editor. The file can be found in
/var/sysgen/master.d. Open the file and use the text editor to
add the following at the end of the tape device entries:
For IRIX 6.2 :
{DATTAPE, TPDAT, 7, 12, "SEAGATE", "ULTRIUM06242", 0,0,
{0},
MTCAN_BSF | MTCAN_BSR | MTCAN_APPEND | MTCAN_SETMK |
MTCAN_PREV | MTCAN_SYNC | MTCAN_SPEOD | MTCAN_CHKRDY |
MTCAN_VAR | MTCAN_SETSZ | MTCAN_SILI | MTCAN_SEEK |
MTCAN_COMPRESS,
40, 5*60, 10*60, 10*60, 3*3600, 512, 256*512, 0,
(u_char*) 0},
For IRIX 6.4/6.5:
{DATTAPE, TPDAT, 7, 12, "SEAGATE",
"ULTRIUM06242", 0,0, {0},
MTCAN_BSF | MTCAN_BSR | MTCAN_APPEND | MTCAN_SETMK |
MTCAN_PREV | MTCAN_SYNC | MTCAN_SPEOD | MTCAN_CHKRDY |
MTCAN_VAR | MTCAN_SETSZ | MTCAN_SILI | MTCAN_SEEK |
MTCAN_COMPRESS,
40, 5*60, 10*60, 10*60, 3*3600, 512, 256*512,
tpsc_default_dens_count, tpsc_defalt_hwg_dens_names,
tpsc_default_alias_dens_names, {0}, 0, 0, 0, 0, (u_char*)
0},
After modifying the configuration file, recompile the kernel
with the "autoconfig" command and reboot the system. If you
are replacing an existing storage device with the same SCSI
ID remove the device files prior to using the autoconfig
command and rebooting the system.
