-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 sometime last year I posted a query asking for st.conf settings for a Super DLT 110/220gb tape drive... this year I've had a couple of requests for the info making me realise I forgot to post a summary. so please accept my humblest apologies for being a complete slacker..... The drive, although marketed as a Tandburg SuperDLT drive, is actually made by Quantum. That is why looking on Tandburgs site (at the time I did my initial searches in any case) yielded no results.. the manual which I never got with mine is here: http://www.quantum.com/NR/rdonlyres/00000383twclmnervihpdqne/SDLT220.pdf it's 380 odd pages and 1.5mb. the most useful document is at: http://www.quantum.com/NR/rdonlyres/00000188yiwcinpewhwrcoph/SunSPARCstationSolaris2x.pdf 25k, 5 pages. it contains a tutorial which shows what all the parameters do so that you can tweak compression ratios, etc. very nice doc. the st.conf parameters for quick reference are: tape-config-list= "TANDBERGSuperDLT1", "Quantum SuperDLT1", SDLT-data"; SDLT-data = 1,0x38,0,0x8639,4,0x90,0x91,0x90,0x91,3; name="st" class="scsi" target=x lun=y; change the x and y params for target and lun, and then either reboot, or run drvconfig and tapes and you're in business. it's outlined in the 5 page pdf. it's well worth the read and will give you settings for all DLT drives, not just the SDLT. it's worth printing out and keeping with your docs. - -- Spiro Harvey UNIX Systems Administrator NEC NZ Ltd http://www.nec.co.nz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (SunOS) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iEYEARECAAYFAjw8om8ACgkQ0MWP3QPS6gBOOgCfTXsCkbU8eURG92jpNYd38Ypf EhIAnA5xG7WVEU41XHI187a6Y+0pjH+1 =BPfU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Jan 22 17:57:53 2002
