Hello,

Beginning with TRU64 Unix V5.0 the device naming conventions changed.

I am still trying to fully understand the new device names.

I have an issue particular to NSR 5.5.2 and TRU 64 V5.0A

On my V4.0X systems I have TZ887 tapedrives which are setup with NSR 5.5.2
to do backups. The device specifications are like:

                /dev/nrmt0h
                /dev/nrmt1h

I am working on setting up a 5-Tapedrive TL895, the drives are TZ89's
inside that tape library. I am using NSR 5.5.2 and TRU 64 V5.0A, which
is a supported Legato configuration for NSR.

        My question:

                What are the proper devices specifications for NSR?
                I assume I need the equal device names to above so:

                        /dev/ntape/tape0_d1
                        /dev/ntape/tape1_d1

Anyone out there have thoughts on this? Or a better device to use?

                                                Thanks,

                                                Steve
