Hi All,

I would be grateful if anybody can forward me the
tapetype definition for an HP Ultrium 960 LTO3 tape
device (external). The SCSI controller used is an HP
374654-B21 - 64-bit Single Channel Wide Ultra320 SCSI
Controller. Basically, on what factors does the
tapetype deifintion depend? Else if I need to give the
amtapetype command is the command "amtapetype -t
/dev/nst0" sufficient? Or do I need to specify
additional arguments to the command? How much time
will this command take?

See:

http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Tapetype_definitions#LTO_Ultrium_3_with_400.2F800_Gbyte_tapes

When running amtapetype, please do add a reasonable estimate value:

  amtapetype -e 400g /dev/nst0

In that case, it will give an estimate of the total runtime
after a few minutes, usually 4-8 hours.
