Configuring for SCO Open Server 5.0.x

Finding Existing SCSI Controllers and Devices
The files /usr/adm/hwconfig and /var/adm/messages list the devices found during boot up
of Open Server. The current SCSI controllers can be found using the command:
grepadapter/usr/adm/hwconfig
This command produces output similar to:
%adapter
bus=0 id=7
The current tape drives can be found using the command:
grep tape /usr/adm/hwconfig
This command produces output similar to:
%tape type=S
The information above shows that an Adaptec SCSI controller is installed (alad) and a SCSI tape
drive (type=S) is installed as target id 6. SCSI ID #7 is almost always dedicated to the SCSI control-
ler. Never configure your target device for ID 7 unless you are absolutely sure the controller is not
addressed for ID 7.
Configuring the LTO-2 Half-Height Drive with mkdev
Once connected to the system, installation of the drive is performed using the following command:
mkdevtape
A numeric-based menu appears. If you are replacing an existing SCSI tape drive, use option 3 to
remove the existing tape drive from the configuration files. Then follow the instructions below to add
an LTO-2 half-height drive.
