Adding tape drives

Adding tape drives

Use this procedure to add a tape drive to your system.

  1. Verify that the tape controller or adapter is installed. If you have not yet added a controller to the system, or if you need to add an additional controller, see ``Adding hardware controllers'' for instructions.


    NOTE: Non-SCSI tape controllers must be set to use IRQ 5, I/O address 300 and DMA channel 1.

  2. Verify that the appropriate device driver is installed, and that the tape controller or adapter has been configured. If you have not yet installed the device driver or configured the controller, see `` Configuring hardware controllers'' for instructions.


    NOTE: Non-SCSI tape controllers require the ictha device driver (or a device driver developed by the manufacturer for use with UnixWare).

  3. Configure the tape drive. For example, you may need to set the SCSI ID and termination on a SCSI tape drive. Follow the instructions provided by the drive manufacturer.

  4. Physically attach the new tape drive(s) to the tape controller or adapter. Follow the instructions provided by the drive manufacturer.

  5. Reboot the system.

    The system should be able to access the tape drive following the reboot.
