Hello,
I posted the following a couple of weeks ago:
************************************************************************
ORIGINAL POSTING
************************************************************************
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?
*****************************************************************************
I got just a couple of responses, neither with any definitive answer?
If you look in the man page for TZ, you find the following:
rmt?a --------> tape?_d3
rmt?l --------> tape?_d0 (d0 always maps to the low density)
rmt?m --------> tape?_d2
rmt?h --------> tape?_d1 (d1 always maps to the high density)
Based on that /dev/nrmt0h equates to /dev/ntape/tape0_d1 on TRU 64 V5.0A
Thats what I am using and it works fine.
