Hi:
I never asked a question about this but saw some enquiries. It caused me
pain and Sun SUpport didn't even know they sold it! so I thought I'd
hopefully alliviate someone elses pain. To get the 2.5Gb you do need
a high density tape supposedly and these settings:
Solaris 2.5 has the entry for the drive in /kernal/drv/st.conf so this
is for 2.4 and below -
Add to /kernal/drive/st.conf:
# For a FIXED blocksize
tape-config-list=
"TNADBERG TDC 4200", "TANDBERG 2.5 Gig QIC","TAND-25G-FIXED";
TAND-25G-FIXED=1,0x37,512,0x867a,1,0x00,0;
TAND-25G-VAR=1,0x37,512,0x867b,1,0x00,0;
#For a VARiable blocksize
tape-config-list=
"TNADBERG TDC 4200", "TANDBERG 2.5 Gig QIC","TAND-25G-VAR";
TAND-25G-FIXED=1,0x37,512,0x867a,1,0x00,0;
TAND-25G-VAR=1,0x37,512,0x867b,1,0x00,0;
SunOS 4.1.X:
add to /usr/kvm/sys/scsi/targets/st_conf.c (Requires remaking kernal)
/* Tandberg 2.5 Gig Qic */
{
"Tandberg QIC 2.5 Gig QIC", 17, "TANDBERG TDC 4200",
0x37,512,
(ST_QIC| ST_BSF| ST_BSR| ST_AUTODEN_OVERRIDE| ST|LONG_ERASE),
400, 400,
{0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},
{0, 0, 0, 0}
}
e.g. On 4.1.X to make a new kernal: (as root)
- cd /usr/kvm/sys/`arch -k`/conf
- cp GENERIC NEWTAPE
- config NEWTAPE
- cd ../NEWTAPE
- make
- cp /vmunix /vmunix.old
- cp vmunix /vmunix
- reboot.
Hope this helps somebody.
-Jim
