Configuring Tape Drives
Adding Nonstandard Tape Drives
This topic applies to the following drive types:
◆ HP LTO
◆ Seagate LTO
◆ STK 9840
Some types of tape drives require changes to the kernel before you can use them on Tru64.
▼ To change the kernel
Refer to the following man pages for more information on Dynamic Device Recognition
(DDR):
◆ ddr.dbase(4)
◆ ddr_config(8)
1. Add the appropriate device-specific entries to the /etc/ddr.dbase file (see
“Device-Specific Entry for HP Ultrium 460” on page 77 and the other device entries
that follow).
2. Compile the /etc/ddr.dbase file using the ddr_config (Dynamic Device
Recognition) utility to create the ddr.db file.
