<\/a><\/p>\nToday I have tested the TSV05 Tape Drive under the installed VMS 5.5-1.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. step:<\/strong> is to load an tape with trash data or an empty one. I have choosen am empty tape, have loaded it physically in the Tape Drive and have pressed the online button.<\/strong><\/p>\n 2. step:<\/strong> was to check that the drive is recognized and the driver is available<\/p>\n 3. Step:<\/strong> was to initialite the empty tape.<\/p>\n 4. Step:<\/strong> was to mount the Tape.<\/p>\n Here we need to differenciate two possibilities.<\/p>\n a.) you dont know the label of the tape<\/p>\n b.) you know the label of the tape<\/p>\n Dismount it via:<\/p>\n 5. Step:<\/strong> is to listen the content of the Tape<\/p>\n The tape is now monted as _ZOID01$MSA0: so we type in the following to get the files and dirctories listed.<\/em><\/p>\n We see that the tape is empty, which makes sense as we have it initialized in step 2.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. Step:<\/strong> Now we copy over some files<\/p>\n and check the contents of the tape again<\/p>\n So we see the file is now on ms0:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So now see whats on the old tapes I have got with the VAX<\/p>\n 1. Step is to check the output of show dev<\/p>\n 2. Step mount the tape<\/p>\n The MVII I have got in March is now fully restored and placed in the second floor. Today I have tested the TSV05 Tape Drive under the installed VMS 5.5-1. 1. step: is to load an tape with trash data or an empty one. I have choosen am empty tape, have loaded it physically […]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allgemein","odd","category-1-id","post-seq-1","post-parity-odd","meta-position-left-outer-pullout","fix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2655"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2666,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2655\/revisions\/2666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdp-11.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n$ show devices\/full\r\n........\r\nMagtape ZOID01$MSA0:, device type TSV05, is online, file-oriented device, error\r\nlogging is enabled.\r\n\r\nError count 0 Operations completed 0\r\nOwner process \"\" Owner UIC [0,0]\r\nOwner process ID 00000000 Dev Prot S:RWED,O:RWED,G:RWED,W:RWED\r\nReference count 0 Default buffer size 2048\r\nDensity 1600 Format Normal-11\r\n\r\nVolume status: no-unload on dismount, beginning-of-tape, odd parity.\r\n...\r\n...<\/pre>\n
