Description
The name/address by
which the PVR can access
the drive.
Advice:
For StorageTek robots: Drive Address configuration entries correspond to the
ACS,Unit,Panel,Drive Number used by ACSLS to identify drives. For example, the
first drive in a typical configuration has Drive Address 0,0,10,0 (see Appendix K
for information about configuration of StorageTek drives).
For 3584 LTO robots: The Drive Address configuration entries correspond to the
SCSI address (location) of the drive in the library. Determine the drive location by
running an inventory on the library either through the tapeutil utility supplied with
the Atape driver or using the library console.
For IBM 3494/3495 robots: The Drive Address configuration entries correspond to
the hexadecimal Library device number of the drive. Determine the Library device
number by running the command "/opt/hpss/bin/GetESANumbers /dev/rmtX"
for each tape drive in the robot.
For operator mounted drives: For manually mounted drives, the drive address
string is displayed to operators when an explicit drive is selected for mounting. The
drive address should therefore be a string that easily communicates to an operator
the drive in question (i.e., a name matching the label on the exterior of the drive).
For AML robots: Leave the Drive Address field blank.
