Before Reconfiguring HSC for the SL8500
Before you use dynamic hardware reconfiguration for the SL8500, verify that
all the components of the SL8500 are operational. HSC builds its library
configuration from the information reported by the library. If SL8500
components are not operational, the library information may not be reported to
HSC, and HSC configuration of the SL8500 will be incomplete.
To verify that all the components of the SL8500 are operational:
1. Logon to the StreamLine Library Console (SLConsole). You can use either
the console on the SL8500 or a remote library console.
2. Select Tools -> System Detail.

Important:
Before configuring the SL8500, the elevators must be green.
If the elevators are not green, do not configure the SL8500 to HSC. The
elevators are the logical pass-thru-ports (PTPs).
Without PTPs, HSC will not know that the SL8500 rails are connected.
3. Once the SL8500 components are operational, configure SL8500 to HSC.
Refer to HSC 6.0 Operator.s Guide, Appendix B, "HSC Support for the
SL8500 LIbrary" or HSC 6.1 Operator.s Guide, "MODify CONFIG command"
and Appendix C, "HSC Support for Near Continuous Operation (NCO)."
TM0017 • Revision B
All SL8500 components should be green.
Note: Drives that are yellow can be configured now, or later, using
dynamic hardware reconfiguration.
Missing components can be added later using the MODify CONFIG
command.
