a.
If the library already has a partition named “DVP” that is not used for Data Verification, rename the
partition. The partition name “DVP” is reserved for use by Command View TL.
b.
Unassign the tape drives that will be used for Data Verification from their current partition.
c.
Unassign the storage slots that will be used for Data Verification from their current partition.
d.
If you want to use a mailslot to import and export media, verify that a free mailslot is available.
e.
Verify that each DVP partition has a valid cleaning cartridge with a barcode beginning with “CLN”
that can be used for cleaning operations.
2.
Create a private network for the tape drives and library that will be used for Data Verification.
a.
Ensure that each tape drive that will be assigned to the DVP partition has an Ethernet connection
to a switch.
NOTE:
Use a true switch for the connections from the drives. DO NOT use a hub, which replicates data to
all ports on the hub.
b.
Ensure that the DIAG port of the base module controller has an Ethernet connection to a switch.
NOTE:
Use a true switch for the connections from the drives. DO NOT use a hub, which replicates data to
all ports on the hub.
c.
When the private network is cabled correctly, each drive will obtain an IP address from the library
on the 16.1.9.X subnet.
The drive IP address can be viewed on the RMI
Status > Drive Status
screen. For a cabling
diagram, see the user guide.
d.
Verify that no other hosts or network connections are included in the private network. Only the
drives that are used for Data Verification should have their Ethernet port connected to the same
private network as the library DIAG port.
IMPORTANT:
Do not cable or connect the FC or SAS ports for drives that are used for Data Verification.
These ports must be left uncabled to prevent host interference with Data Verification
operations.
