Taking A Drive Offline/Online; Adding A Control Path Drive To A Logical Library; Assigning Drive Ids; Modifying A Fibre Channel Drive Port Setting - IBM System Storage TS3310 Setup And Operator Manual

This menu item enables you to choose the drive to unload from a list of loaded
drives. The cartridge being unloaded from the drive will be returned to its
designated storage slot.

Taking a Drive Offline/Online

Before replacing a drive in the library, the installed drive that is to be replaced
must be taken offline. After the new drive is installed, it must be taken online. Use
these menu items to take drives offline/online.

Adding a Control Path Drive to a Logical Library

The lowest drive physically in a logical library is automatically set as the control
path drive for that logical library. Each drive in a logical library can be a control
path drive. Use this menu item to assign an additional control path drive in a
logical library.
For more information, see "Using Multiple Control Paths" on page 2-2.

Assigning Drive IDs

The library automatically sets SCSI and Fibre Channel drive IDs. Use this menu
item if your host system requires different IDs than those chosen by the library.
For more information, see "Determining SCSI and Fibre Channel IDs" on page 2-4
and "Selecting Drive IDs and Drive Types" on page 5-3.
Record all drive IDs on the Appendix D, "Library Configuration Form," on page
D-1.
