again.
The selected SCSI ID is now in effect.
NOTE:
This option is primarily used if the autoloader is in an error state.
NOTE:
If you changed either SCSI ID, you may also need to reboot the host server and reconfigure your backup software before you can
use the autoloader. Consult your hardware and software manuals for more information.
