<div><p>This topic discusses how to transfer control of a tape drive from Linux<sup>®</sup> to <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span>.</p>
<div class="section"><p>To hand control of the tape drive back to <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>,
unlock it on the Linux side and then make it available on the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> side. This procedure is simply
the reverse of the process you used to pass control of the tape drive to Linux. </p>
<p>Note
that if you shut down the integrated Linux server, or the Linux server
fails before you unlock the tape drive, it unlocks automatically. However,
it is still in an unavailable state in <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>.</p>
<p>To
transfer control of a tape drive from Linux to <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>,
use one of the following methods:</p>

complete the following steps:</p>

<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>To unlock the tape drive from Linux, start a Linux terminal session and log in as root.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>At the command prompt enter the ixsdev command and press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.
The syntax is:</span> <pre>ixsdev [-list] | [[-lock | -unlock] device name]</pre>
<p>To
unlock TAP02 from Linux you would enter the following command:</p>
<pre>ixsdev -unlock TAP02</pre>
<p>You
could also use the Linux name:</p>
<pre>ixsdev -unlock /dev/st1</pre>

commands are case sensitive. Make sure you use the same case as in our examples,
for example, use TAP02 not tap02.</div>
