Configuring the Host System 3
Configuration
Configuring the Host System
Once the library is connected to a host, the Windows NT, Sun
Solaris, HP-UX, and MPE/iXoperating systems must be
configured to recognize it. The procedures are different,
depending on the host system.
4 Configuring the Host System
Windows NT
For Windows NT operating systems, perform the following operating
system configurations:
•Install the appropriate host bus adapter(s)
•Install the corresponding drivers for the interface card(s)
•Install the backup software
To verify the installation, look for the library and drive after powering
up the host.
•Go into Settings -> Control Panel -> SCSI Adapter
•You can also check your installation on Windows NT with HP
diagnostic utilities available from www.hp.com/go/support. See
the Downloads and Drivers section for your library model.
Run a test backup to ensure that all components are properly
configured.
Configuring the Host System 5
Sun Solaris
For Sun Solaris operating systems, perform the following operating
system configurations:
•Install the appropriate host bus adapter(s)
•Install the corresponding drivers for the interface card(s)
•Install the backup software
To verify the installation, look for the library and drive after powering
up the host.
1. Close all open applications and exit the Common Desktop
Environment (CDE).
2. Type “init 0” at any prompt. This will shut down all processes,
and take you to the OpenBoot PROM.
3. Type “reset”.
4. At the OK prompt, type “probe-scsi-all”.
Run a test backup to ensure that all components are properly
configured.
6 Configuring the Host System
HP-UX Hosts
To enable communication between the host and tape library,
appropriate drivers must be configured into the HP-UX kernel. Table
1 shows which drivers are necessary for each device.
NOTE Some drivers have different names, depending on whether or
not they are listed in the output of an ioscan or in the system
file.

Configuring the Host System 7
If these drivers are already installed into the kernel, upon system boot
they will automatically be associated with the hardware that they
control. However, if drivers are missing, they must be installed. For
more information on installing Fibre Channel drivers, refer to the
HP
Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter Service and User Manual
(A3636-90002)
.
A pass-through driver is used to manage the robotics controller. Since
this driver is not dedicated for this particular device, it must be
manually installed. The following sections describe this process:
•Installing the pass-through driver (below)
•Creating a device file for the robotics controller (page 8)
•Verifying the installation (page 10)
Installing the
Pass-Through
Driver
Obtain information about the peripherals attached to the system:
ioscan -f
The screen should look similar to the following:

Installation
The following procedure assumes the use of a SAM terminal mode.
In X-windows (GUI) mode, use the mouse button to select an option.
1. Run SAM.
2. Select Kernel Config, and press Return.
3. Select Drivers, and press Return.
4. Select sctl.
NOTE If Current State is “In,” proceed to Creating a Device File for
the Robotics Controller. Otherwise, continue with the next
step.
5. From the Menu Bar, select Actions. Select Add Drivers to
Kernel, and press Return.
6. From the Menu Bar, select Actions. Select Create New
Kernel, and press Return.
7. A t t h e

. Press Return.
8. After the status messages, select OK. Press Return. The system
reboots.
Creating a
Device File for
the Robotics
Controller
1. Use the mknod command to create a device file to access the
robotics controller. The command syntax is:
/user/sbin/mknod /dev/scsi/<devfilename> c
<majornum> <minornum>
•<devfilename> is the user-defined name of the device file.
•<majornum> is the character major number from the lsdev
command.
•<minornum> is the minor number in the format 0xIITL00;
where II is the two-digit card instance number in
hexadecimal; Tis the target SCSI ID number; Lis the LUN
number, and 00 is reserved.
