Step 2: Check the drive’s SCSI ID
1
Determine whether you need to change the SCSI ID from the default of 3.
For most operating systems you can run HP Library & Tape Tools from the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM to check your server’s SCSI configuration. This will provide
information about the SCSI bus and the SCSI IDs currently in use. To do this, insert the
CD-ROM and select the ‘troubleshoot with L&TT’ option from the CD-ROM menu. (See also
page 30.)
For UNIX systems, check the
UNIX Configuration Guide on the HP StorageWorks Tape
CD-ROM for instructions on how to determine the SCSI IDs of existing devices.
2
Change the tape drive’s SCSI ID, if necessary.
Use a small screwdriver or a ball-point pen to press the indented SCSI ID selector buttons on
the rear panel (see Figure 4) until the required value is displayed. Do not use a pencil
because small bits of graphite could contaminate the drive.
Note
The server and the tape drive SCSI IDs are only checked at power-on. To change the SCSI ID
after installation, power down both the server and the tape drive, change the drive’s SCSI ID,
power up the tape drive, and then power up the server.
Your HP StorageWorks Ultrium drive is shipped with a default SCSI ID of 3, but it can be
assigned any unused ID between 0 and 15. Do not use SCSI ID 7, which is reserved for the
SCSI controller, or SCSI ID 0, which is typically assigned to the boot disk.
