Scsi Drive Entries - StorageTek L180 Installation Manual

Entering Configuration Data

SCSI Drive Entries

Two entries at the library operator panel complete the configuration choices for
each SCSI drive installed in the library:
• SCSI ID
• Bus status (on or off bus)
Note: "On bus" means that the drive is on the same SCSI bus as the library.
CAUTION:
System configuration problems: When adding or replacing a SCSI drive,
always check and, if necessary, configure the drive's SCSI ID at the
library's operator panel.
You set the drive SCSI IDs and bus status choices from the drive configuration
menu and you can enter both values for each drive at the same time.
The format of the drive information appears in the following example:
00 DLT8000 ID:__
The first two digits are the drive's logical number, that is, the number that
the library has assigned the drive. The library sets this number during its
automatic configuration sequence during power-on or reset. It is an internal
number only and is shown for information only. The uppermost drive
within the column is designated as "0," the next is "1," and so forth
Next is the drive type (DLT 8000 in this example). To the right of the drive
type is the SCSI ID. On the next line is the drive's bus status.
These notes apply to configuring a T9840 SCSI drives:
• To configure a T9840 Tape Drive's SCSI ID and bus status from the library's
operator panel, the drive must have version 1.24 or later. Check the drive's
version, from the Main Menu.
• Configuring a T9840 Tape Drive might involve more than setting the drive's
SCSI ID and bus status. Refer to the T9840/T9940 Tape Drive Service
Reference Manual or Installation Manual for more information about the
tape drive configuration options and instructions.
These notes apply to configuring LTO SCSI drives:
• LTO drives display as:
-
-
-
• If the menu displays INVALID instead of the SCSI ID for a drive, you must
set the drive's SCSI ID to a valid address.
5-22
"Off bus" means that the drive is not on the same SCSI bus.
ON BUS: ON
