After initialization, the drive is in one of the states shown in Table 3-1.
If the power-on self test fails, or to run optional system tests, see Chapter 6.
Configuring the Host System to Recognize the Desktop DLT2000XT Tape Drive
Depending on how many desktop DLT2000XT tape drives you installed, some
configuration steps may be necessary. The hinv command can confirm if your system
recognizes the new DLT2000XT tape drives installed. Chapter 6 provides a sample hinv
listing.
If you installed only a DLT2000XT tape drive, it should be ready to use with your system.
For information on backing up and restoring data using the new tape drive, see the IRIX
NetWorker guides (IRIX NetWorker Administrator’s Guide and NetWorker for IRIX User’s
Guide).
