This command produces output similar to:

%tape type=S ha=0 id=6 lun=0 bus=0 ht=alad

(alad) and a SCSI tape drive (type=S) is installed as target id 6. SCSI ID #7

is almost always dedicated to the SCSI controller. Never configure your

target device for ID 7 unless you are absolutely sure the controller is not

addressed for ID 7.
