Finding Existing SCSI
Devices and Controllers 3
Use the modinfo and dmesg commands to identify the installed SCSI
devices and controllers.
For example, the command
dmesg | egrep target | sort | uniq can find all
SCSI controllers and devices. The output may look similar to:
In this example, the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive can be set for SCSI ID
2 through 6 and attached to controller ithps1. (This particular controller
also supports SCSI addresses 8 through 15.)
Configuring the UNIX
Environment 3
Procedure
1 Add the following lines to the
st.conf file in the /kernel/drv directory.
tape-config-list=
"SEAGATE ULTRIUM06242-XXX", "Seagate LTO 1", "SEAGATE_LTO1",
"CERTANCE ULTRIUM 2", "Seagate LTO 2", "Certance_LTO2",
"CERTANCE ULTRIUM 3", "Seagate LTO 3", "Certance_LTO3",
“QUANTUM ULTRIUM 3”, ”Quantum LTO 3”,”Quantum_LTO3”,
# THE LAST ENTRY IN THIS SECTION MUST END WITH A SEMICOLON
sd32 at ithps0: target2 lun0
sd34 at ithps0: target4 lun0
st21 at ithps1: target0 lun0
st22 at ithps1: target1 lun0
Note: You might be able to view the main pages of three types of
SCSI controllers for Sun Sparc systems:
•esp
•glm
•isp
Do not attach the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive to esp type
controllers. They are not fast enough and will produce very
slow backup operations.
In this case, the Ultra Wide glm type controller would be the
minimum acceptable device.
The best controllers for the LTO-3 Half-Height Tape Drive are
Ultra3 SCSI-capable devices with a minimum data transfer
rate of 160 Mbytes per second.
