Define Tape Length for Redwood SD-3
The StorageTek Redwood SD-3 drive uses a SCSI 1 board.
Because there is no way for a SCSI 1 board to determine the
length of mounted tape, use the AMASS tapelength
command to define the length to the AMASS database.
• 9840
• 9940
• Compression and tape block size
configured with the volformat
command are applicable for this drive. For
command information,
refer to the
Command Reference chapter in
Managing the AMASS File System.
• Tape streaming configured with the
config_prod -o script is supported for
this drive. For script information, refer to
the
Optional Parameters
appendix in
Installing AMASS.
NOTE: Although automatic drive cleaning by
AMASS is supported on this drive,
automatic drive cleaning by AMASS on the
STK 9840 installed in a StorageTek 97xx
library is not supported because the library
has its own internal drive cleaning
capabilities.

Note

volume.
