hi,

need your help mentors I have external SCSI tape DRIVE COmpaq 15/30 GB DLT and I dont know how to install these and how to view if it is working. I'm also have another disk taken form my old sun and I want to use these also but my problem how I able to mount.

hope anyone can help me

thanks in advance

solaris should use the native st module (SCSI tape Driver), plug your cable in and run the "devfsadm -v" command. you should find a /dev/rmt/0 device now. to test it, you can use "mt status" or "tar" to backup something...

same way with your new drive, but we would need more information to guide you, post an "iostat -En" output after devfsadm....

gP

thanks..
I'll try this

hi sorry to bother you guys I really have a problem on this, Just want to know how do I get in on this server using telnet, I have a workstation then I want to telnet this but it says "Not on system console
Connection closed by foreign host"

even I used the root account,is their any restriction of these server that I have to changed?

thank you very very much for your help

you have to enable the "root-login" in your /etc/default/login:

# If CONSOLE is set, root can only login on that device.
# Comment this line out to allow remote login by root.
#
# CONSOLE=/dev/console
