I'm trying to add a SCSI tape drive (HP Surestore DAT 40 aka C5683A) to a HP C3600 running HP-UX 11.0. What is the procedure for this?
# ioscan -C tape
# ioscan | grep C5683A
10/0/15/1.2.0 unknown HP C5683A
So the tape drive is seen by ioscan, but it can't determine what it is.
I found an example in a book for doing this, (the book is on HP-UX 11i, which I am not running yet), but I have no idea why it used the minor number '0x002000'. When I tried it, it did not work - see below.
# mksf -v -C tape -m 0x002000 /dev/rmt/0
mksf: Couldn't find driver matching arguments
