Installing SCSI Tape drive

UNIX SCO
1

Hello,

I'm having some issues with installing SCSI tape drive on SCO 5.0.6

hardware config shows the following adapters

%adapter 0xE800-0xE8FF 10 - type=alad ha=0 bus=0 id=7 fts=sto
%adapter 0x0170-0x0177 15 - type=IDE ctlr=secondary dvr=wd
%adapter - 3 - type=amird ha=0 id=7

I think the scsi device is connected to alad.

anyway

I went through mkdev tape

device adapter (0-4) - 0 for first
bus - 0
targerid - 6
lun - default 0

rebuild kernel and add new kernel

The device is still not picking up.

Is there anything I'm missing out here?

Would it be a problem with the SCSI card?
The SCSI Card is PCI and was supplied by DELL when the machine was bought.

Regards

Ananth

Your way is right.
Are you sure that the tape is connectted to alad?

When the system is going though its POST, type <ctrl>A and run the adaptec diagnostics/configuration routine, and see if the tape is recognized.
This process will also confirm the SCSI ID.

Thanks for your help

I configured it to the wrong SCSI Card, it was on the same SCSI device as the disks.
