Drive Entries
Note
For 9840 drives only:
The drive’s SCSI ID and bus status can be entered from the
library’s operator panel if the drive has firmware version 1.24 or
higher. Check the drive’s firmware version, by
selecting
DRIVE
INFO
from the
Main Menu
.
Configuring a 9840 drive might involve more than setting the
drive’s SCSI ID and bus status. For more information about 9840
drive configuration options and instructions, refer to the
9840
Tape Drive Service Manual
.
Two entries complete the configuration options for each SCSI drive:
SCSI ID
Bus status (on or off bus)
Note
“On Bus” means that the drive is on the same SCSI bus as the
library. “Off Bus” means that the drive is
not
on the same SCSI
bus as the library.
Set the drive SCSI IDs and bus status from the drive configuration menu. You
can enter both values for each drive at the same time:
1. At the main
Configuration Menu
, press an arrow button until the cursor
underscores
DRIVE CONFIG
.
2. Press the
[SELECT]
button.
The screen will list all installed drives, and the cursor will align with the first
drive on the list.
An example of the format is:
00 HP LTO ID: 01
ON BUS: ON
The first two digits are the drive’s logical number (the number that the
library has assigned the drive). The tape library sets this number during its
automatic configuration sequence (at power-on or reset). It is an internal
number
only
and is shown for information
only
.
