You can specify several tape devices for clip management. SCSI tape archiving devices are not supported. Use only fibre channel archiving devices, specifically, SAIT and DTF2 devices.
To use a tape device for archiving, you must define the filename, the block size, and the name for the device you are using.
The ClipMgtDevice Tape keyword uses the following syntax
ClipMgtDevice Tape, <file_name>, [<block_size>, [<device_name>
| Where: | Is: |
|---|---|
| <file_name> | The filename of the fixed block size device. |
| <block_size> | The amount of data per block written to tape. |
| <device_name> | The name of the tape device as it will appear in the Archive menu. |
| Tape Device | Keyword Example |
|---|---|
| DTF2 | ClipMgtDevice Tape, /dev/st0, 65536, DTF2 |
| SAIT | ClipMgtDevice Tape, /dev/st0, 65536, SAIT |
