tape drive access/backup

Need assistance:

Have HP Visualize C3600 workstation, HP-UX 10.20, and HP C6364A 12GB DDS-3 SCSI DAT drive. I am not a UNIX programmer and did not configure/build workstation.

Ran ioscan and shows up as HPC1537A, class tape, and 10/0/15/0.2.0. Switch on back of unit is denoted SCSI ID and is set to 2.

In SAM, I went to Peripheral Devices, then Tape Drives, and shows up as:
Hardware Path 10/0/15/0.2.0, driver stape, description C1537A 12GB
DDS3 Data Compression Tape Drive (DAT).

Questions:
1 How and what commands do I use to determine where the drive is located i.e. path?
2 How and what commands do I use to access/read from/write to drive?
3 Is the C1537A referenced above correct? I presume that it is and it may be simply internal manufacturer number and indeed correct reference to
C6364A.

An expeditious response is needed and appreciated. Any and all assistance is wholly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. DJ.
