Configuration for IBM AIX Environment

DIP Switch Settings

Before using the DAT 72 or DDS-4 autoloader in an IBM AIX environment, set the operating-system

configuration DIP switches as shown below:

AIX Versions 3.2 and Later

AIX versions 3.2 and later can be configured to work with the DAT 72 or DDS-4 by using the SMIT

“Other SCSI Tape Drive” option.

To configure AIX using the SMIT utility, use the following procedure:

1. Enter SMIT at the Tape Drive menu by typing “smit tape”.

2. Select “Add a tape drive”.

3. Select the type of tape drive you will be adding. Use the “Other SCSI Tape Drive” option.

4. Select the parent SCSI Adapter from the available list.

5. The Add a Tape Drive entry fields now appear. Some of the standard options need to be

changed to maximize drive performance and functionality:

• Set the “Connection Address” with the tape drive’s Target and LUN (always use 0 for

the LUN). In the list, the Target is the first number and the LUN is the second. For

example, if the drive is ID 5, choose 5,0

• Set the Fixed “Blocksize” to 1024

• Set “Density 1” to 140

• Set the “Maximum delay for the Read/Write command” to 900

6. Press the RETURN key. The autoloader will be installed in the system database and the

appropriate devices created.
