Determining the SCSI ID

Configuring the Device Files

Before you configure your system to support your Ultrium drive, you need to
determine which SCSI ID to use. IDs must be unique for each device attached
to the SCSI bus. To list the existing devices, use the following command:
% lsdev -C |grep SCSI
This will produce output that looks similar to:
scsi0 Available 00-00-0S Standard SCSI I/O Controller
hdisk0 Available 00-00-0S-0 1.0 GB SCSI Disk Drive
rmt1 Defined 00-00-0S-2,0 Other SCSI Tape Drive
The SCSI ID is in the series
the list of existing SCSI IDs and choose an available ID to assign to the new
tape drive.
To install an HP Ultrium drive on an IBM workstation you will need to create
the appropriate device files for the drive.
Note Do not choose the
Device Type. This is reserved for Connor drives. If you use it
with HP drives, you will get the error "
