RMAN: Drivers & Media Types

248617Jul 8 2003

We are using LSM 5.5 (build98) on Solaris 8. We are trying to back up to a Sun DDS-4 tape drive (actually a HP C5683A) but LSM doesn't offer that type of media under their device settings. The only media type I can get to work is the generic "8mm 5GB". DDS-4 tapes can hold 40GB (20GB uncompressed) so I'm wasting lots of space using the wrong driver.

How can I add the proper DDS-4 4mm tape type? (The /kernel/drv/st.conf has an entry for the HP C5683A with the note: "Drive is configured automatically - no entry is needed in st.conf.")

Thanks!
