Selecting an Output Device
Selecting an Output Device
HPINSTAL sets the output device where the CSLT is created to device class TAPE. If you
use the default, HPINSTAL will write to any device of class TAPE. You can change the
default when HPINSTAL requests the information. You need to know the LDEV number of
the tape device where you want to create the CSLT.
If you are unfamiliar with the system on which you are working, you can use SYSGEN to
look at the configuration of the system to determine the LDEV number of the appropriate
tape device. Refer to Performing System Management Tasks for specific information on
using SYSGEN to determine your system configuration.
Using the Default Output Device
If you use the default output device, HPINSTAL automatically writes to any device of class
TAPE. If you have only one tape device, using the default will produce the desired results.
If you have additional tape devices, using the default may not create the tape at the
desired tape device.
Setting Tapes to Reply Automatically
If the tape device is not set up to automatically reply to tape requests, you need to reply
manually to all tape requests at the system console.
To set up tapes to reply automatically:
1. Run SYSGEN:
:SYSGEN
sysgen>
2. Use the IO configurator:
sysgen> IO
3. Look at the state of the device you want to reply to tape requests automatically. In place
of 8 in the following example, use the number of the logical device you want to check.
io> LDEV 8
LDEV: 8 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE:
ID: HPC1501A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: TAPE
PATH: 4.3.5 MPETYPE: 24 MPESUBTYPE: 6
CLASS: TAPE
If there is no mode type of R after MODE, AUTOREPLY is not set for this device. You can
exit SYSGEN without continuing to modify the file.
To set AUTOREPLY to on, type the following. Replace the number 8 with the LDEV
number of the tape device you want to automatically reply to tape requests.
io> MDEV 8 MODE=AUTOREPLY
Check that AUTOREPLY is now on:
io> LDEV 8
