HPINSTAL sets the output
device where the CSLT is created to device class TAPE. If you use
the default, HPINSTAL will write
to any device of class TAPE. You can change the default when HPINSTAL
requests the information. You need to know the LDEV number of the
tape device where you want to create the CSLT.
If you are unfamiliar with the system on which you are working,
you can use SYSGEN to look at the
configuration of the system to determine the LDEV number of the
appropriate tape device. Refer to Performing System Management
Tasks for specific information on using SYSGEN
to determine your system configuration.
Using the Default Output Device |
 |
If you use the default output device, HPINSTAL
automatically writes to any device of class TAPE. If you have only
one tape device, using the default will produce the desired results.
If you have additional tape devices, using the default may not create
the tape at the desired tape device.
Setting Tapes to Reply Automatically |
|
If the tape device is not set up to automatically reply to
tape requests, you need to reply manually to all tape requests at
the system console.
To set up tapes to reply automatically:
Run SYSGEN:
Use the IO configurator:
Look at the state of the device you want to reply
to tape requests automatically. In place of 8 in the following example,
use the number of the logical device you want to check.
io> LDEV 8
LDEV: 8 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE:
ID: HPC1501A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: TAPE
PATH: 4.3.5 MPETYPE: 24 MPESUBTYPE: 6
CLASS: TAPE |
If there is no mode type of R after MODE,
AUTOREPLY is not set for this device.
You can exit SYSGEN without continuing
to modify the file.
To set AUTOREPLY to on, type
the following. Replace the number 8 with the LDEV number of the
tape device you want to automatically reply to tape requests.
io> MDEV 8 MODE=AUTOREPLY |
Check that AUTOREPLY is now
on:
io> LDEV 8
LDEV: 8 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE: R
ID: HPC1501A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: TAPE
PATH: 4.3.5 MPETYPE: 24 MPESUBTYPE: 6
CLASS: TAPE |
The R after MODE signifies
that AUTOREPLY is on.
io> HOLD
io> EXIT
sysgen> KEEP
sysgen> EXIT |
