It is unclear which SCSI ID to use
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
It is uncertain which ID numbers are
available.
Use HP Library & Tape Tools (see page 35) to provide
information on your current SCSI settings.
The HP StorageWorks DAT drive has its SCSI ID set to
3 by default. This should be left unchanged unless this
number is already in use. Full instructions on how to
change the SCSI ID are given on page 11.
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.
Typically, when connecting an internal drive to the
ribbon cable already inside your server then both the
host bus adapter and the end of the ribbon cable will
already be terminated and no further action is
required.
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 35) 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
