Conguring the Device Drivers
The computer must now be informed that a new device has b een installed. This is
done by logging in as ro ot , then entering the commands:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV tz13
The numb er following the \tz" name ab ove is a combination of the SCSI bus number
(either 0, 1, and so on) and the device's target ID numb er. The unit number is
eight times the bus number plus the target ID. For example, a DAT-Link at target
ID 3 on bus 0 would be referred to as tz3, whereas a datlink at target ID 5 on the
second SCSI bus would be referred to as tz13.
You will then see a message such as:
MAKEDEV: special file(s) for tz13
rmt1l nrmt1l rmt1h nrmt1h rmt1m nrmt1m rmt1a nrmt1a
The second line abovemaybe dierent in that the \rmt1" may be replaced with
\rmt0", \rmt2", or another similar string. The nal step is to create the DAT-Link
device le. Use the rst device name returned ab ove (rmt0l, rmt1l, or ::: ) when
you type:
ln -s rmt1l datlink0
Note that during op eration, you may o ccasionally see the following message on the
console or in the system log:
ctape_strat:READ case and density info not valid
This message can be ignored and does not indicate a problem. However, if the
message is repeated continuously, please contact your DAT-Link supplier.
You can now pro ceed with the software installation in Section 2.6 b elow.
