 Drive Configuration

 This menu allows drives (tape and optical) to be configured, deleted 
 or updated.
 
 A user definable drive name is required.  This name should be unique
 within a configuration.  If a drive is accessible from multiple
 hosts, the drive name must be the same on all the hosts sharing the
 drive.

 Drive index is automatically assigned when a drive is added.
 This is the index that can be used in some cases instead of the name
 when referencing the drive on the operator displays.

 NonRewindDriveName is the device path to the specific tape drive
 as found in the /dev or /dev/rmt directory.  This device path refers
 to the UNIX no-rewind on close device file.

 Note - for each platform, detailed configuration information
        appears in the Media Manager Device Configuration Guide.

 Examples are:

  SUN (SunOS 4.x)
     - /dev/nrst13 for a tape drive attached to a Sun host.
     - /dev/nrast13 for a tape drive attached to an Auspex
       Storage Processor (SP).


  HP9000-700 and
  HP9000-800
     - /dev/rmt/c2t6d0BESTnb for DLT tape drive.
     NOTE - Tape drives must be Berkeley style.


  SGI 
     - /dev/rmt/tps0d5nrvc for DLT tape drive.
     - /dev/rmt/500104f0004308a9/lun0nrvc/c2p1 for DLT tape drive on fabric
        fibre channel.
     NOTE - tape drives (except 1/4") should be defined as variable block length.


  SUN (Solaris)
     - /dev/rmt/2cbn for a DLT tape drive.
     NOTE - Tape drives must be Berkeley style.


  RS6000 
     - /dev/rmt3.1 for a DLT tape drive.
     NOTE - tape drives (except 1/4") should be defined as variable block length.


  Compaq ALPHA (Tru64 4.0x)
     - /dev/nrmt0h for a DLT tape drive.


  Compaq ALPHA (Tru64 5.x)
     - /dev/ntape/tape0_d1 for a DLT tape drive.


  NCR
     - /dev/rmt/c13t2d0s0nn for a DLT4000 tape drive.


 For optical disk drives a character device path and a volume
 header device path (if applicable) must be entered.

 Examples are:

  SUN (SunOS 4.x) 
     - /dev/rsd2g for character drive name.
     - /dev/rsd2a for volume header (label) drive name.


  HP9000-700 and
  HP9000-800
     - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0 for character drive name.


  SGI
     - /dev/rdsk/dks1d4s7 for character drive name.
     - /dev/rdsk/dks1d4vh for volume header drive name.


  SUN (Solaris)
     - /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s6 for character drive name.
     - /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s0 for volume header (label) drive name.


  RS6000 
     - /dev/rhdisk2 for character drive name.


  Compaq ALPHA 
     - Optical disk not supported.


 Additional platform dependent information can be found in the Media
 Manager Device Configuration Guide or with the following:

  SUN (SunOS 4.x) - Refer to MAKEDEV(8) for information on creating drive
                    names.

  HP9000-700 - Refer to intro(7), sam(1M), and insf(1M) for information on 
               creating drive names. 

  HP9000-800 - Refer to intro(7), sam(1M), and insf(1M) for information on 
               creating drive names.

  SGI - Refer to MAKEDEV(1M) for information on creating drive names.

  SUN (Solaris) - Refer to drvconfig(1M) and related man pages for
                  information on creating drive names.

  RS6000 - Refer to SMIT for information on configuring drives.

  Compaq ALPHA (Tru64 4.x) - Refer to MAKEDEV(8) for information on creating
                             drive names.


 Drive status (up or down) specifies whether the Media Manager device daemon 
 will consider the drive available.  This status may be changed via the 
 operator displays after the device daemon, ltid(1M), is initiated.

 If the drive is accessible from multiple hosts, answer yes to the
 question "Is this drive accessible from multiple hosts?". This will
 cause the drive to be configured as a multihosted drive.

 When adding or updating a drive, if there are robots defined that 
 the drive could potentially reside in, a prompt will ask whether or not
 the drive is to be configured in a robot.  Enter y to enter robotic 
 information about the drive; otherwise, the drive is assumed to be a
 standalone drive (i.e. not robotic).
