load chapi MSA dll=chapi_tsv05.dll

set MSA address=<address> vector=<vector> trace_level=<level>

set MSA tape_dll[0]=<storage library dll file>

set MSA tape_cfg[0]=<tape transport configuration>

set MSA tape_param[0]=”<string of parameters for the tape transport>”

set MSA extended_mode[0]=<enable TS11 mode>

set MSA use_wtm_trick[0]=<enable WriteTapeMark trick>

Where :

tape_dll[0] – DLL file name from where to load the CHAPI tape transport

emulation. If this parameter is omitted, 'chapi_storage' will be used as default;

tape_cfg[0] – is the type of the tape transport target. Options are:

mtd – for tape transport mapped to a tape image (*.mtd) file;

scsi – for tape transport mapped to a host SCSI interface;

driver – for tape transport mapped to a host tape driver;

If this parameter is omitted, 'mtd' will be used as default;

tape_param[0] – is a string specifying the tape transport. It must be one of the

following:

for a tape transport mapped to an .mtd file: the name of the target file;

for a tape transport mapped to SCSI – the target SCSI name;

for a tape transport mapped to a host tape driver – the Windows device

name;

extended_mode[0] – This must be set to false to force TS11 tape drive emulation

in an emulated Qbus mode (e.g. on a UNIbus PDP-11 system converted to Qbus);

use_wtm_trick[0] – This must be set to true then tape transport mapped to real

physical tape drive to avoid RSX TS11/TSV05 driver WTM timeouts.

Examples:

load chapi MSA0 dll=chapi_tsv05.dll trace_level=0

#force TS11 mode

#set MSA0 extended_mode[0]=false
