7331-205

ITEM: RTA000088614



My customer configured 7331-205 Tape Library to RS/6000.                        
Then two devices are defined, "smc0=7331" and "rmt1=ost".                       
(I know "ost" means "other SCSI tape drive".)                                   
                                                                                
Q1) Is this configuration right ?                                               
Q2) If it is right that 7331 tape drive is defined as "ost",                    
    how do I write data with compress mode ?                                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
                                                                                
    The IBM 7331-205 is shipped with a 3.5-inch option diskette                 
    containing system-level robotics auto-changer device drivers for            
    AIX Version 3.2.5 and AIX Version 4.1.1.                                    
                                                                               
    The robotics device driver is used in conjunction with the 8mm              
    tape device driver and the tape device control utilities provided           
    with the respective operating system.  The 8 mm tape drive device           
    driver for AIX Version 3.2.5 is available on APARs IX48148 and              
    IX48692.                                                                    
                                                                                
    These PTFs should be applied to your system:
