2HP-UX systems
HP servers and workstations—HP-UX 11.x
NOTE: HP-UX 10.x is only supported by Generation 1 Ultrium drives.
Introduction
Before you install your tape drive log on to the HP web site, www.hp.com, and download the latest
hardware enablement patch bundle for your operating system. This ensures that you will have the
correct device driver for your tape drive.
Determining attached devices
After you have installed the new tape drive, you can check it has been attached successfully. From a
shell window (hpterm/xterm), execute ioscan to display the list of attached devices.
# /sbin/ioscan -C tape -fn
The output should look similar to the following:

Adding stape and schgr (autoloader driver) to the kernel using sam
Run the `sam` utility from the command line. Sam runs as a mouse driven GUI (fig. 1) on a system
with full graphics capability, or as a console text-based interface (fig. 2). If using the text-based
interface, use the tab and arrow keys to navigate, and the return key to select.
