How should the SCSI bus be configured?
How should the SCSI bus be terminated?
Is the correct SCSI host bus adapter installed?
Description
Further information
Correct configuration of the SCSI bus with
multiple drives can be a complex area and
more help may be required.
Refer to the SCSI Configuration section in the online
HP StorageWorks User’s Guide on the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM.
Description
Further information
It is unclear if the bus is already terminated
or where an additional terminator should
be placed.
Refer to the SCSI Configuration section in the online
HP StorageWorks User’s Guide on the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM. Assuming that the
host bus adapter is already correctly terminated, there
are typically three possibilities:
• The tape drive is the only external device on the
SCSI bus. It should be terminated with the
terminator provided.
• The tape drive is being added to the end of a chain
of one or more existing external devices. Remove
the terminator from the last device on the existing
chain, connect the tape drive to the chain, and
terminate the tape drive with the terminator
provided.
• The tape drive is being added to the middle of a
chain of existing external devices. Insert the tape
drive into the chain and do not use the terminator
provided.
The terminator plugs directly onto either SCSI
connection on the rear of the tape drive.
Description
Further information
The server already has a SCSI host bus
adapter but it is difficult to determine what
type it is.
If your server is in its original configuration (no SCSI
adapters have been added or removed) then use
www.hp.com/go/connect
to check the
compatibility of your system.
The server may not have a SCSI host bus
adapter installed.
Use HP Library & Tape Tools (see page 29) to check
whether you have a SCSI host adapter on your system.
If not, you will need to purchase one. Refer to the
www.hp.com/go/connect
web site
