Installation Notes

Enabling LUN Support

CAUTION: The command and procedures to enable LUN support on SCSI adapters vary. Always consult
the manufacturer's documentation for the correct command for your device. The following steps serve as
a guide to illustrate the process.
1. Locate the HAM driver for your device in the STARTUP.NCF file. For example, the following line
appears for an Adaptec 29160 SCSI card:
load ADPT160M.HAM
2. Add a driver switch to the driver command line in the startup.ncf file. Depending on your driver
version and NetWare version, add one of the following driver switches:
load ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=<XX> LUN_ENABLE=FF
load ADPT160M.HAM SLOT=<XX> /LUNS
Consult your manufacturer's documentation for the correct statement.
3. Restart the NetWare server and load Data Protector Express.
4. Access the Device view to verify that the device appears.

Linux Installation Notes

SCSI generic module required for device support

If you are running Data Protector Express under Linux, you must install the sg (SCSI generic) module for
device support in Data Protector Express.
To verify that this module is loaded and running, issue the following command at a terminal prompt:
lsmod
sg should be listed in the list of running modules. If it is not listed, you must manually load this module so
that Data Protector Express can communicate with tape devices. Consult your operating system
documentation for instructions on manually loading the sg module.

IDE/ATAPI Support

Data Protector Express supports the use of IDE/ATAPI tape devices. If your Linux distribution compiled
the ide-tape.o module into the kernel, update the configuration file and verify the configuration to access
these devices.
NOTE: When Data Protector Express runs, it loads the ide-scsi module. This may cause the ide-cdrom
module to fail to load, which may affect CD operation. To work around this problem, mount the CD as a
SCSI device, even though it is an IDE device.
To update the configuration file and verify the configuration (LILO)
1. Add the following line to the end of each boot selection section in the /etc/lilo.conf file:
Master on primary IDE
Slave on primary IDE
Master on secondary IDE
Slave on secondary IDE
append="hda=ide-scsi"
append="hdb=ide-scsi"
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
