Click the [Advanced Options...] button to bring up the Logical Device - Advanced Options screen shown in Figure 71 on page 171. - Provide a common Lock Name for each tape drive. To enable shared access of tape drives by different hosts, you must use the same Lock Name for each instance of the same tape drive. In this example, drives "lpc7060_drive_1" and "lpc7062_drive_1" are configured with the same Lock Name, "drive_1". - Verify that SCSI Reserve/Release is NOT checked. This feature is meant to be used in place of the Lock Name or in conjunction with other software applications sharing the same tape libraries. Multiple applications on the same SAN are not supported. In addition, if an error occurs accessing a tape drive, the drive may be left reserved by the host and, therefore, unavailable from other servers. Once a tape drive is left reserved, manual intervention is required release it. - Verify that Use direct library access is NOT checked. This feature allows each host on the SAN to access the robotics directly. This is not supported. For higher available access to the robotics controller, the cell server and control of the tape library may be configured on a clustered server. 170 Omniback Configuration Chapter 7
