Installation Procedure on SUN System

Test equipment:

The following procedure was confirmed with the following system and drive combination:

Host: SUN Ultra Enterprise 450

OS: Solaris 2.3, Solaris 2.4, Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6

Target: RMO-S551

- device type is set to 0

- 512 byte/sector media is used.

Since the SCSI driver “sd” which comes with the SUN’s UNIX system is for device type 0

(hard disk drive, in general), the cases with device type 7 or 1024 bytes/sector media are

not supported.

Installation:

1) Connection

- Set the SCSI host adapter into the host computer using proper SCSI cable.

- Set proper SCSI ID on the MO drive.

- Set proper termination.

- Set the Device Type 0.

2) Login

- Turn on the MO drive and the host computer.

- Login as root or be a super user with “su” command.

3) Format and partition

To make a disk accessible, perform the following three command:

- ‘format’: using to format media.

- ‘newfs’: using to make file system.

Create a ‘format.dat’ file prior to issuing the ‘format’ command

4) Edit “format.dat” file

- add following configuration to the “format.dat”.
