LTO-3 Tape Drive User’s Guide

This command produces output similar to:

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

The information above shows that an Adaptec SCSI controller is installed

(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.
