Product Notes for Sun
This appendix describes the installation and configuration procedures involved in
enabling the TL891 DLT MiniLibrary to communicate within a Sun SPARC system
(running Solaris 2.4 and 2.5.x) environment.
E.1 General Information
• Densities can only be changed at the beginning of the tape.
• To load a tape into the TL891 refer to
Section 2, Operation.
• Compression can be enabled or disabled at any time, with the change
taking effect immediately when writing TZ89 density.
• Density Codes for Solaris are listed in Table E-1.
E.2 Modifications Required for Solaris 2.4 and 2.5.x
E.2.1 Installation Procedure
In order to support the addition of this device, drive information must be
supplied in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file as global properties that apply to
each of the targets, or as properties that are applicable to one target only.
The "st driver" looks for the property called "tape-config-list". For
additional information, read the man page “st”. We recommend the
use of the global properties approach.
NOTE:
Internal to the TL891 MiniLibrary is
the TZ89 DLT Cartridge Tape.
