Verifying The Dds Tape Drive Operation - HP Visualize J5000 - Workstation Owner's Manual

7. Slide the bracket, now containing the DDS drive, into the DDS drive
bay. Observing—and manipulating, if necessary—from above, make
sure the drive's ribbon cable folds neatly and compactly, and its
ferrite bead (the elongated loop of iron-containing material) does not
hinder the folding process.
8. Insert the two screws through the front of the tray to secure the
assembly to the main chassis.
9. Replace the computer's front panel.
10. After rebooting, use SAM (the System Administration Manager), or
the steps described in the next section, to confirm that the DDS drive
is recognized by the system.
For information on normal usage, see Chapter 5 , "Using Your Digital
Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive," on page 103.

Verifying the DDS Tape Drive Operation

To verify that your workstation can communicate with the DDS-format
tape drive, enter the following:
/usr/sbin/ioscan -d stape
After a few moments the ioscan utility returns a message similar to the
following:
H/W Path Class
==================================================
10/0/15/0.3.0
If ioscan does not see your tape drive, it will return the following
message:
ioscan: No hardware found
If the system does not recognize the drive, see Chapter 9 ,
"Troubleshooting," on page 167, for hints on how to determine the
problem and solve it.
