Configuring an autoloader on OpenVMS and MRU

1. Find the name of the changer device by executing:
$ mcr sysman io auto/log
If the DAT tape drive is at device ID mka400, the changer device will be gka401.
The parts of the device name are as follows:
gk
a
4
01
2. Enter the following, replacing gka401 with the changer device file you found in step 1:
$ mcr sysman io connect gka401: /driver=sys$gkdriver.exe/noadapter
$ define/system mru_robot gka401
To maintain these changes across reboots, edit the sys$startup_vms.com file to include
these two lines.
