– The third parameter (
1024
) is the block size in bytes.
– The fourth parameter (
0x1639
) defines the options selected. 0x1639 represents the
following options:
ST_VARIABLE
= 0x0001
ST_BSF
= 0x0008
ST_BSR
= 0x0010
ST_LONG_ERASE
= 0x0020
ST_KNOWS_EOD
= 0x0200
ST_UNLOADABLE
= 0x0400
ST_LONG TIMEOUTS = 0x1000
These options are equal to the fourth parameter, 0x1639.
– The fifth parameter (
4
) defines the number of densities. The maximum definable
number of densities is 4 (limitation on Sun operating systems).
– The sixth parameter (
0x14
) is the vendor-unique density code for EXB-8200 in the
uncompressed mode.
– The seventh parameter (
0x90
) is the vendor-unique density code for EXB-8200c
in the compressed mode.
– The eight parameter (
0x15
) is the vendor-unique density code for the EXB-8500
(uncompressed mode).
– The ninth parameter (
0x8C
) is the default density code for the EXB-8500c in the
compressed mode.
– The last parameter in the swxte-data string is the default density
3
, EXB-8500c in
the compressed mode.
After you have edited the “st.conf” file, shut down the system as follows:
cd /
shutdown -i0 -g0 -y0
Install the tape SBB into the StorageWorks enclosure and power on the system. We
recommend that the SWXTE SCSI device address be set to ID 4 or 5.
NOTE
If your SCSI host adapter is supported by the
“probe-scsi”
command, then it may be used to verify that the connected
device is correctly attached to the system.
Reboot the system using the following command at the boot prompt:
>boot -rv
Note that the switch "r" forces the kernel to be re-configured, and switch "v" enables a
display of the system configuration at boot time.
