Determining the SCSI ID
Use device filenames as listed below for the combination of Rewind on Close, Retention on Open, and Compression that you want:

/dev/rm 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto">Yes

The n in the filename is the instance number assigned to the drive by the operating system, where 0 is the first device, 1 is the second and so on.

Description
|
|
Rewind on Close
|
Normally, the drive repositions the tape to BOT (Beginning of Tape) when the devicefileis closed. Using the no rewind option is useful when creating and reading tapes that contain multiplefiles.
|
|
Retension on Open
|
Retensioning consists of winding to EOT (End of Tape) and then rewinding to BOT, in order to reduce errors. If this option is selected, the tape is positioned at BOT as part of the open process. Ultrium drives do not require retensioning, so you should not use device fields that send retensioning commands.

|
Compression
|
Compression can be disabled or enabled.
