Upgrading from Direct Connect to the Enterprise
Backup Solution Using the TL895
This section will assist with the migration from a Compaq TL895 Tape Library connected
directly to a server to one connected through an enterprise environment with Fibre Channel
Tape Controllers (FCTCs).
Hardware Connections
1.
Remove the power cord from the SCSI converter devices located between the server and
the TL895 library.
2.
Remove each converter unit and the SCSI cables that are attached to the server. Leave the
other SCSI cables attached to the TL895 library.
3.
Install the required number of Compaq FCTCs to the Storage Hub 12. For TL895
connection procedures, see the Quick Setup Guide called
Connecting the Compaq
StorageWorks TL895 Tape Library to the Enterprise Backup Solution
(Part Number 330558-001).
