Configuration-data for DEC-TLZ06 with SunOs 4.1.x

Thanks to the following for their reply:

Glenn Satchell <glenn@uniq.com.au> and to

Glenn Rickersey <glennr@wormald.com.au> who originally send this information

to Glenn Satchell about two years ago.

Here is the solution which helped me to make the TLZ06 work with

SunOs 4.1.3:

1. Original question

Hello sun-managers,

is there anybody who connected a DEC TLZ06 DAT-Tapedrive to a sun

with SunOs 4.1.x and/or knows the configuration data for the files

/sys/scsi/targets/stdef.h and /sys/scsi/targets/st_conf.c similiar

to the description in the faq, subject 5.9 ?

2. The solution

I entered the following in /usr/kvm/sys/scsi/targets/stdef.h:

#define ST_TYPE_DEC 0x2d /* Digital TLZ06 DAT */

and in /usr/kvm/sys/scsi/targets/st_conf.c:

/* DEC TLZ06 4mm cartridge */

{

        "DEC TLZ06-VA 4mm Helical Scan", 13, "DEC TLZ06",

        0x2b, 512,

        (ST_VARIABLE | ST_BSF | ST_BSR | ST_LONG_ERASE),

        5000, 5000,

        { 0x13, 0x13, 0x13, 0x00 },

        { 0, 0, 0, 0 }

}

I rebuilt the kernel and now it works fine concerning performance

and capacity.
