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:
:SYSGEN
sysgen>
Use the IO configurator:
sysgen> IO
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.
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.
