NOTE: autochangers are not supported on CIO bus!
MO Drive Device Files (1X, 2X and 4X capacity drives)
MO drive device files are standard disk device files and created automatically when the devices are powered up and the system is booted.
You can verify this with:
# ioscan -fnCdisk

Tape Drive Device Files (DDS/DAT and DLT) HPS700/S800 HP-UX 10.X
When a new device is connected to an HP700/800 Series system, device files for that devices must be created. On the machine where the new device is installed follow these steps to create the device files:
- Connect the new devices to the SCSI bus using an unused SCSI ID # and power on the device. Boot the workstation or system.
- Create device files using the command line or SAM interface:
From the command line type:
# /etc/insf -v to create device files for *all* new devices
or
# /etc/insf -v -Ctape to create device files for new tape devices only
Or from SAM select the following menu items:
- select "Peripheral Devices ->
- then select "Tape Drives" ->
- In this menu highlight the new drive just added and select "Create Device Files - Create Default Device File from the "Actions" menu. If you have multiple tape devices ensure you select the appropriate device using the SCSI id. Exit SAM
For your tape devices a number of device files are created in the /dev/rmt directory.
- File ending in BEST (i.e. C0t3d0BEST) - This device file is used to communicate to the device with hardware compression enabled
If non-compressed, special density device files or non-rewind device files are desired select in "SAM" the "Create Device Files - Create Custom Device File". To make it easy you can create a hard link to a new filename. This makes it easy to configure your application:
# ln /dev/rmt/c0t2d0BESTn /dev/rmt/DLT_DRIVE_1
A command "ioscan -fnCtape" will give you all the tape drive and device file information. e.g.
# ioscan -fnCtape

NOTE: for systems using the c700/c720 driver as ext_bus when doing ioscan -fCext_bus
For autochangers a device file must be manually created to communicate to the robotic portion of the device that moves the tapes into and out of the embedded drive. For the c7XX driver bus this can be done with the following command:
# /usr/sbin/mknod /dev/scsi/3 c 203 0xIITL00
Where T = SCSI ID of the device, II= SCSI BUS and L is the SCSI LUN of the device (L=1 for the HP 6 cartridge autoloader). The easiest way to determine what to use for the II portion of the command is to copy them from the device that was autocreated for the embedded DDS drive. To see these files do: e.g.
# ioscan -fnH 8/16/5
ext_bus 3 8/16/5 c700 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in SCSI
target 1 8/16/5.0 tgt CLAIMED DEVICE

NOTE: the lun 1 of the DDS2/DDS3 autoloader is not shown with ioscan
For a DDS2/DDS3 autoloader with address 3 and connected to an ext_bus with instance 3
# mknod /dev/scsi/3 c 203 0x033100

# ll /dev/scsi/3

Autoloader Robotics HP S800 Systems HP-UX 10.X with NIO bus structure ( 800 series D-series excluded, see previous section )
NOTE: This procedure is only for systems with scsi1 or scsi3 driver for "ext_bus", if you see c700 or c720 when doing "ioscan -fCext_bus" you should follow the previous section. For HP-UX 10.00 you must install patch PHKL_5406 10.01 PHKL_10356 10.10 PHKL_10507 10.20 PHKL_10507
If the spt (SCSI pass-through) driver is not linked into your current HP-UX kernel, you will have to install the driver manually and reboot the system. The instructions for this are included below. This is basically a copy of a portion of the HP-UX man page for scsi_pt (man 7 scsi_pt) with a few specifics added.
Go to the build area:
# cd /stand/build
Create a system file from your existing kernel:
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
Get information about peripherals attached to your system:
# ioscan -f
Check if the SCSI pass-through driver is already configured into your current kernel:
# grep spt system
If no "spt" line was printed, add a line to the "SCSI drivers" area of the system file (/stand/build/system): spt
NOTE: Verify that the drivers autox0, ssrfc and autoch are NOT configured. They may be configured when the system was installed with an autochanger connected and powered on.
A driver statement is needed to override the standard driver which gets autoconfigured for any device. One statement is required for each desired NIO SCSI pass-through device (be it a SCSI target, or a SCSI lun). Append the driver line(s) to the system file: driver [path] spt
[path] = complete hardware path of desired device (from ioscan cmd)
For example, for an HP 6 Cartridge DDS Autoloader (HP C1553) connected at SCSI ID 3, the last 1 is because this device uses SCSI LUN 1.
driver 10/4/8.3.1 spt
Create the conf.c and config.mk files:
# /usr/sbin/config -s system
Build a new kernel:
# make -f config.mk
Verify that the pass-through driver has been built into the new kernel. (A line giving the revision information should be printed):
# what ./vmunix_test | grep scsi_pt
Save the old system file:
# mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev
Move the new system file to be the current one:
# mv ./system /stand/system
Save the old kernel:
# mv /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev
Move the new kernel to be the current one:
# mv ./vmunix_test /stand/vmunix
Boot the system from the new kernel:
# exec reboot
NOTE: For advanced users this method of creating a kernel can be done in one command :
- Modify /stand/system as described ( spt driver and hardware assignment )
- Run "mk_kernel -o /stand/vmunix" ( for more info read man page)
Once the system reboots:
Verify the peripheral configuration:
# ioscan -f
Determine the major number for the SCSI pass-through driver. This is now dynamic so it will not always be the same as in the past. The major number is listed under the "Character" field of:
# lsdev -d spt
Character Block Driver Class
XXX -1 spt spt
Create the special device file to access the scsi_pt peripheral:
# /usr/sbin/mknod /dev/[devfilename] c [major #] [minor #]
[devfilename] = name of the special device file
[major #] = character major number (from lsdev cmd)
[minor #] = minor number in the format 0xIITL00
II = 2 digit card instance number
(from ioscan cmd; "ext_bus" entry)
T = Target SCSI ID number (SCSI ID)
L = Lun number (SCSI LUN)
This will be 1 for the HP 1553 6 Cartridge

00 = Reserved fields, must be zero
