Procedure 3. Run Detect

Run the Detect utility to record the device id and update your data protection Enterprise to use the Bexsptape driver.

The Bexsptape type of device file is formulated as: bexsptape_vp<0123456789>_cn or bexsptape_vp<0123456789>_n, where

• v and p are the first character of the vendor ID and product ID reported by the SCSI Inquiry command.

• <0123456789> is the ten digit unit serial number reported from the tape device.

• n denotes no rewind.

• c denotes compression enabled.

Either device id format, ending in _cn or _n, may be used when configuring the tape device in your Enterprise.

Once the Detect utility completes, the tape device is available for hardware encrypted tape backups.
