Step 5: Basic Configuration; Configuring A Fibre Channel Drive - Overland Storage NEO 2000e Quick Start Manual

Step 5: Basic Configuration

Depending on your configuration and network, perform the
following procedures to get your library up and running.
Changing the Drive SCSI ID Number
NEO libraries work with the majority of backup applications
without having to make changes to the default SCSI IDs, where
"Drive n = SCSI ID n."
Depending on your network configuration, it may be necessary to
change the SCSI IDs. Follow these touch screen steps:
1. At the Default screen, press Menu > SCSI/FC/SAS.
2. Press the Position n, Drive 1 Bus ID data field.
3. Using the keyboard display, press the new SCSI ID number
(it can be any number from 0 to 15).
The selected number is displayed in the New field.
4. Press Save, and then press OK to confirm.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 for any other drives.
6. Press Back twice to return to the default screen.
Setting Up Reserved Slots
Use this touch screen option to remove up to 15 tape cartridge
slots from storage use to provide one or more slots dedicated for
cleaning tapes or to meet your software license limits for the
number of slots available.
To reserve one or more slots:
1. At the Default screen, press Menu > Library.
2. On the Library options screen, press Total Reserved Slots.
3. Use the keypad to enter the number of slots you want to
reserve, and press Save.
4. At the confirmation screen, press OK.
The library reboots automatically.
5. Press Continue to return to the Default screen.

Configuring a Fibre Channel Drive

2. At the FC edit screen, press Set Values for the tape drive
you are changing.
