This chapter describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot the DLT7000
tape drive.
InstallingtheTapeDrive
1. Determine your operating system using the uname -rs command.
Caution – For SunOS 5.5 or 5.5.1 operating systems, you must perform the
procedures in Appendix A, “Modifying the st.conf File," before proceeding.
2. Shut down the operating system.
Use either the init or shutdown command. See the man pages for these
commands or the Solaris AnswerBook online documentation.
3. Find an available SCSI device identifier (SCSI ID) for the tape drive.
To check for an available SCSI ID, enter probe-scsi-all at the ok
prompt. Use a SCSI ID that is not returned by this command. Tape drives
are usually set to a SCSI ID of 4 or 5. Write down the SCSI ID (and SCSI host
adapter identifier) for future use.
Note – Do not choose SCSI ID 7; it is reserved for the host adapter.
4. Turn off the power to your system and then to your peripherals.
