5.5 Configuring the System
You need to configure the following devices for AUTOINST to work properly:
•LP device class
• streams device (usually 10)
• tape drive (that matches the FOS and SUBSYS media type)
If you need information about hardware device IDs, print the file IODFAULT.PUB.SYS on your screen. This file
contains ID numbers and associated parameters for hardware devices. You can display this file when the
system is up and you have the system prompt.
