DESCRIPTION
The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) tape driver provides a standard
tape drive interface as described in mtio(7). This is the tape driver for
any HP SCSI tape device. Facilities are provided which enable you to add
third-party SCSI tape drives to the system. Refer to the ddr_config(8) and
ddr.dbase(4) reference pages for instructions.
For reads from Beginning of Media (BOM), the density of the tape is
obtained from the drive. Autodensity selection is then used for all read
operations. This means that reads are performed in the density of the
tape.
For writes from BOM, the density, compression, and fixed/variable blocking
factor of the tape are set. The tape is written in the density,
compression, and fixed/variable blocking factor selected by the device
special file name such as tape?_d0 device special files located in
dev/tape. See the System Administration guide for more information on
device special files. If the tape is not at BOM, and is partly written,
the written portion of the tape determines the density, compression, and
fixed/variable blocking factors for the write.
Tape Media and Drive Compatibility Tables
The following table lists the tape compatibility for CompacTape media and
the TZ85, TZ86, TZ87, TZ88, TZ89, DLT4000, and DLT8000 tape drives:

Device Special Files and Tape Density
Using a particular device special file with a certain tape format will
indicate what density code, compression, capacity and I/O is supported. It
is also possible for administrators to customize which device special file
names apply to what densities. Future extensions to device special files
may also increase the number of alternative files that can be used with a
particular device. The current range of possible device special files is:
tape?_d0 to tape?_d7, where ? is a decimal number representing the
identification number of the tape device. Normally, the _d1 suffix will
always indicate the highest density used with compression, while the _d2
suffix will indicate the highest density witout compression.
Note that the tape?_?? format device names correspond to the previous
device names as shown in the following table:
_______________________________________________________________________
Previous Format in /dev New Formats in /dev/tape and /dev/ntape
_______________________________________________________________________
rmt?a tape?_d3
rmt?l tape?_d0 (d0 always maps to the low density)
rmt?m tape?_d2
rmt?h tape?_d1 (d1 always maps to the high density)
_______________________________________________________________________
Two new device special file names now exist which will allow the user to
select the highest density of the tape drive. These two device special
filenames can be used for all devices which support auto-density select,
even if there are no entries in the ddr.dbase file for the tape drive.
tape?
By selecting this device special filename without any d0-d7 reference
you will be selecting a density code of 00H, which will instruct the
tape device to use the default density available for the tape type in
the drive. Compression will be disabled for all I/O operations.
tape?c
By selecting this device special filename without any d0-d7 reference
you will be selecting a density code of 00H, which will instruct the
tape device to use the default density available for the tape type in
the drive. Compression will be enabled for all I/O operations. It is
important that you ensure the device supports compression before you
use this device special filename.
If you have a requirement to support previous device names (such as local
shell scripts or utilities), consult the System Administration guide for
information on creating and using the rmt?? format for device special
files.
As it is possible to customize the device names, to determine how the tape
device special file names correspond to the supported formats for a
particular device, you can consult the /etc/ddr.dbase file and search for
the device name. (See the reference page ddr.dbase(4) for information on
this file) For example, the following entry appears for the TZS20 tape
device:
SCSIDEVICE
#
# Matches TZS20, TZS2
#
Type = tape
Name = "DEC" "TZS2"
#
PARAMETERS:
TypeSubClass = 8mm, loader
TagQueueDepth = 0
MaxTransferSize = 0x0ffffff # (16MB - 1)
ReadyTimeSeconds = 90 # seconds
DENSITY:
#
DensityNumber = 0,3,4,5,6,7
DensityCode = default
CompressionCode = 0x0
Buffered = 0x1
DENSITY:
#
DensityNumber = 1,2
DensityCode = default
CompressionCode = 0x1
Buffered = 0x1
From the DENSITY section of the entry you can determine which device
special files apply:
DensityNumber = 0,3,4,5,6,7
tape?_d0, or any device name with the suffix: _d3, _d4, _d5, _d6, and
_d7. In this case, compression is set to Off (0x0).
DensityNumber = 1,2
tape?_d1, or tape?_d2. In this case, compression is set to On (0x1)
Tape Format Reference
The following tables provide information for various tape drives. All of
these tape drives support variable block size. Note that in the capacity
column, a number followed by an asterisk (*) assumes a 2:1 compression
ratio. The actual compression ratio may vary depending on the type of data
being compressed. Note the following abbreviations that apply to these
tables:
CT ?

The SDX-300C format is also known as the TZS20 format.
The following formats are supported for the TZK10 QIC-format tape drive:
QIC-24 (re) 512-byte block size; QIC-120 and QIC-150 (rw) 512-byte block
size; and QIC-320 (rw) variable block size. With QIC-format tapes, except
QIC-320 and QIC-525, all read and write operations must be in multiples of
the block size because record boundaries are not preserved. Use the
following device special File Name file names to select QIC densities:

The following formats are supported for the TZK11 QIC-format tape drive:
QIC-24 (read only) 512-byte block size; QIC-120 and QIC-150 (rw) 512-byte
block size; and QIC-320/525/1Gig/2Gig (rw) variable block size. With QIC-
format 24/120/150 tapes, all read and write operations must be in multiples
of the block size because record boundaries are not preserved. Use the

_______________________________________________________________
The TZK11 tape drive uses autodensity select feature of the drive. The 2
Gig density can only be written on a 2 Gig cartridge. The 1 Gig density
can only be written on a 1 Gig cartridge. The 320/525 cartridge can be
used to write 120/150/320/525 densities.
With all fixed-block tape devices, when you use the dd command to transfer
a file to tape you must use padding to complete a block by specifying the
conv=sync option. For example, the following two dd commands use the
conv=sync option to transfer the /etc/motd file with a size of
approximately 400 bytes to the QIC-format tape drives:
dd if=/etc/motd of=/dev/tape/tape0_d2 bs=10k conv=sync
dd if=/etc/motd of=dev/tape/tape0_d0 bs=512 conv=sync
The data field of 1 also tells the driver not to continue scanning LUNs for
this target when this attribute is found.
Tape Support
Refer to the Software Product Description (SPD) for information on the
specific tape devices that are supported. Refer to the Systems and Options
Catalog (SOC) for information on which devices are supported on the various
system platforms.
ERRORS
All diagnostic messages are sent to the error logger subsystem.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows the configuration specification that you might
have for a DEC 3000 Model 500 system with a PMAZC controller in slot 0 and
KZTSA devices in slots 1 and 2:
bus tc0 at nexus?
bus tcds0 at tc0 slot 6 vector tcdsintr # onboard scsi
bus tcds1 at tc0 slot 0 vector tcdsintr # PMAZC in tc slot 0
bus tza0 at tc0 slot 1 vector kztsaintr # KZTSA in tc slot 1
bus tza1 at tc0 slot 2 vector kztsaintr # KZTSA in tc slot 2
controller scsi0 at tcds0 slot 0 vector scsiintr # Internal port
controller scsi1 at tcds0 slot 1 vector scsiintr # External port
controller scsi2 at tcds1 slot 0 vector scsiintr # A port
controller scsi3 at tcds1 slot 1 vector scsiintr # B port
controller scsi4 at tza0 slot 0 vector scsiintr
controller scsi5 at tza1 slot 0 vector scsiintr
