Subject: QIC tapes on HP 730 systems
Summary: HPux 8.07, Archive QIC 150
Keywords: Need help
Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network
Date:  1 Jan 93 19:40:01 GMT

I am trying to get an HP730 running for an aquaintance.  
When he received the system, a 1Gb disk, Sun QIC 150 
(actually an Archive drive) tape drive, and the CDROM drive 
were all addressed as unit 4.  Obviously, something had to 
change to make it all work.  Somewhere I found a partial list that
said disk drives could appear as SCSI ID's 6,5,4.  CDROM drives 
could appear as SCSI ID 3.  Floppy drives could appear as SCSI ID 0.  

I moved the CDROM to unit 3 (/dev/dsk/3s0), and it seems to be 
happy now, as I have mounted, and perused stuff from a CD.  If I 
put the 1Gb disk on the system as SCSI ID 4, it will also work 
(/dev/dsk/4s0), but it does not appear to be present when I change 
it's address to SCSI ID 1 or 2.  I know where to look in BSD style 
kernel config files to find the device ID to device name mapping, 
but cannot make heads nor tails of the Sys-V stuff.

I am also trying to connect the QIC 150 cart tape drive to the 
system.  The hardware seems to know the drive is out there as 
SCSI ID 4, as shown by the system finding it as a bootable device. 
The problem is that I cannot get HPux to talk to the drive via tar, 
dd, mt, ct, or any other command I try.  Again, I cannot find the
equivalent of the "conf/MACHINE_NAME" file in the kernel stuff to 
know what unit number a SCSI tape drive should be.  Nor can I seem 
to make a major/minor device capable of talking to the drive as 
SCSI ID 4.

System configuration is:
HP 730 running HPux 8.07
Two 426 Meg internal disks (SCSI ID 6 is /, SCSI ID 5 is user files)
One external 1Gb disk (SCSI ID 2)
One CD ROM drive (SCSI ID 3)
One Archive QIC 150 Tape drive (SCSI ID 4)

I would appreciate any help on how to make the tape drive talk to
HPux, and making the 1Gb disk talk to the system as SCSI ID 2.

Thanks

This looks like a symptom of not having your local domain name set.  You
probably typed "nslookup daxam", right?

Yup, what he said.

You need to set it to a domain name, or set the local domain with the
domain directive in /etc/resolv.conf.  Do the first in /etc/rc, the second
by editing /etc/resolv.conf.  That should fix the nslookup problem you
described.

Do you have the current Internet cache file on the host, and referenced by
a cache directive in /etc/named.boot?  I'll append the current cache file
for you to use, just in case.

To All Netters:

I'm running a Novell 3.11 for the Macintosh on an Ethernet
/Localtalk  Network.

One of our printer is an HP LaserJet IIISi (with Postscript
capability) connected via LocalTalk.

A PC in one dept is connected to the Network via Ethernet,
and running Windows 3.1.

Everytime it tries to print from an Application such as
Excel, Word or Windows Write the printer just prints a banner
page but the print job itself is never printed

In the banner the message comes out:
"Error: undefined; Offending Command: !PS-Adobe-3.0"

Can you help?

In my printer, the "sys switch" from the menu is set to "on"
which would make it automatically distinguish from Postscript
to PCL. 

Should Windows download its fonts to the printer first?

I'd call nettl(1m) a workaround rather than a solution.  

  Not that nettl isn't useful, but then it isn't tcpdump(8) either.
There is a lot of value in having tcpdump(8) ported over to HPUX.
Ignoring the fact that there is an installed base of folks familiar
with tcpdump(8) who don't want to learn a new utility, nettl(1m) and
tcpdump(8) don't quite do the same things.

  Again, I don't think the port is more than a couple day hack if one
has access to HPUX kernel sources and the inclination.

I've been trying to write a simple program to print out text files two up

many hours of frustration I've given up!

Can anyone tell me why, when in landscape mode on the Deskjet 500 and printing
text the printer insists on putting the first two characters of each line on
the next sheet of paper?

I've tried many different combinations of printer setups and file format (with
and without Carriage returns, etc..) and no matter what I do I get the first
two characters of each line on the next sheet. (well not quite always,
occasionally I get 3 characters or 1 character and once or twice none!)

Can anyone help, please?

up incoming calls (remote login). I suppose I have to set the modem in "Auto Answer"
mode but the manual does not say anything about that in HP-UX (or inside Kermit).
Since I am new to modem connections, any detailed instructions will be greatly appreciated.

One HP 9000/700 series machine with an HP Laserjet III attached directly.

daemon fires up with no problems, and it appears that everything is set

I get an error message from the printing "client" to the effect of

Tried:

*  Running rlpdaemon from inetd instead of /etc/rc.  Same problem.
*  Configuring the clients by hand instead of SAM.  Same problem.
*  Specifying an IP address instead of hostname for remote box.  Same problem.

I'm out of ideas.  If anyone could post any pointers, I'd appreciate it
muchly.  I did HP-HP printing once a while back and never ran into this
problem, so I'm fairly sure there's something real trivial I'm just
missing.  But I have no clue as to what it is.  As I RTFM, I get the

hi,
We got an HP 400, which has an SCSI connector, and we want
to connect to it an 4mm DAT tape. This tape device has been
moved from an 750 where it worked well onto this new 400.
I followed the tape installation guideline in the manual for
the series 700 machines, but it would not recognize the device
after doing an mknod /dev/rmt/0m 54 ....

1. How do you check that the SCSI device driver is installed into 
the kernel?

2. How do you check that the tape device driver is installed?

3. How do you install the tape device on an 400?

4. Why isn't the tape installation procedure a part of SAM?

I think we are running HPUX 8.05.

Subject: New 877 Installation
Organization: NMSU Computer Science
Date: Thu, 24 Dec 1992 21:06:11 GMT

Hi all (again :-),

We are installing a new 877 :-)  We are having several problems, four of
which are possibly of generic interest.

1)  No blank DDS tapes come with the system.  I couldn't even find a part
number listed in TFM.  We get PC's with blank floppies.  Could not HP find
it reasonable to ship a box of DDS tapes with the system?

2)  The OS is preinstalled.  Gee, that's helpful :-)  Of course, the
installation does not do much good since the partitions used are useless (I
suppose I should be thankful that it has partitions - not like the 700's;
but as per previous discussions we want to be able to set the sizes
ourselves :-) .  It comes with partitions in sections 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10
(this is a 1.4G disk) and the helpful message that this can be changed with
sam :-)  s0 is 23MB, s1 is 46MB, s3 is 28MB, s5 is /usr and s10 is / .  To
make this into any reasonable IMHO configuration requires reloading the
system.  It seems to me that making the whole thing / so it looked like a
700 would be better, at least better than this.

3)  Could someone please tell me where in TFM it describes how the console
has been broken for emacs use?  (C-b [^B] has been usurped to get to the
"console front end" [has an LSI-11 been added to start the CPU ?-], and C-v
[^V] does something - perhaps it's a quote character?)  For that matter, is
there something that describes the commands provided by the "console front
end"?

4)  Now we have these new CD-ROM's with CODEWORD's (well, actually we don't
yet, but that's a different story :-).  I understand the need for the
password protection.  I do not understand why the passwords don't come with
the CD-ROM.  Especially with a new system (knowing the OS will be
reinstalled to get the partitions right :-) doesn't HP know the serial
number of the system the CD will be used on????  Where they will be used on
multiple systems, doesn't HP know at least one serial number??  Wouldn't
there be a few more happy customers if these extra steps were removed?

Thanks for listening :-)

Well, ftp'ing only works from 840 -> 877.

In fact, after doing a trace when asked to by HPSL, it seems the 877 loses
a message.  The 840 ACK's up through the last byte it receives in sequence,
many times, but the 877 refuses to listen and retransmits starting one
message too late, over and over, until the connection is dropped for lack
of success.

We have a HP 9000/730 that we would like to buy a ~1 Gig disk for. 
I would like to hear what people are using (we want to buy 3rd party disk)?

Also, is anyone using a optical drive?  If so, how do you like it?  What
type is it?  What do you use it for?  (I was thinking that it might be good
for sources.)

Thanks!

Kay

People,

I'm using HP-UX 8.x, DDS 2.0Gb drive and the /etc/dump command.  Besides the
reluctancy/inability of anyone at out local HP shop to quote density and
tapelength parameters to me for DDS tapes with the dump command, I find
repeatedly that old dump processes hang around *GUZZLING* CPU after a dump has
been done.

I know that dump starts up children to handle "reels" or something similar (I'm
assuming a certain amount of data is assumed to be a "reel").

Is this a dump bug?  Has anyone else seen this?  

Also, dump seems to work only if the DDS tape is frechly inserted into the drive.
Doing a rewind or whatever after a tape error is not enough.  I get "cannot open
tape drive" errors (something like that - don't have the exact wording at hand).

Is this a problemn with the 2.0Gb drives?  Or just another DDS tape driver
anomally?  Does anyone out there have a table of values for density/length etc.
for use with the /etc/dump command on DDS media?

If you mail me your response and you're the first with the 90% majority
opinion, I'll credit you in the ensuing summary ;-)

Cheers,

--Rob.
