2.2.3 Further Configuration Information For All Tape Devices

Further information on all operational tape drive parameters for all tape
device types may be found in the manual supplied with your system
titled ‘AIX DPX/20 System Management Guide OS & Devices’ in the
section ‘Tape Drive Attributes’.

2.2.4 Update the config.tape file

A minimum device 0 needs to be specified to install mvEnterprise. The
config.tape file contains 32 lines of data representing devices 0 to 31
respectively. For example, to make rmt1 the default tape drive, or
device 0, the first line in config.tape should be:

/dev/rmt1.1

where the suffix 1 signifies that the tape device rmt1 is a non-rewind
device. On a new installation, the install program attempts to build the
config.tape file based on the tape devices it has found on the system.
