Step 9. Installing the SCSI Host Adapter Card (if required)
If there are no other devices attached to your server, you may need to install a
SCSI host adapter card in the server. To determine whether your server needs an
LVD or HVD/DIFF SCSI host adapter card, examine the label between the two
SCSI connectors at the rear of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive:
v
If
SCSI
LVD/SE
appears on the label, your server needs an LVD SCSI host adapter card.
v
If
SCSI
DIFF
appears on the label, your server needs an HVD/DIFF SCSI host adapter
card.
To install an adapter, refer to the instructions that accompany it, as well as to the
section about SCSI card installation in your server’s documentation. For a list of
supported adapters and required interposers, visit the web at
http://www.ibm.com/storage/lto
.
Although the LVD hardware in the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive Model L23 is
capable of operating in the single-ended (SE) mode, SE operation is not
recommended or supported.
Step 10. Installing Device Drivers
A device driver is firmware that enables the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to interact
with a variety of servers. Refer to “Supported Device Drivers” on page 3 for
instructions on downloading the latest device drivers (the CD contains device
drivers current at time of manufacturing). Install device drivers for the 3580
Ultrium 2 Tape Drive as follows:
Note:
If you intend to use the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive with a commercial
software application, IBM recommends that you do not install any device
driver from the CD that was shipped with the tape drive, as conflicts could
occur over which driver controls the drive. Only install a device driver from
the CD if the instructions from your commercial software application tell
you to do so.
v
If you intend to use the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive with an existing or new
commercial software application (such as Tivoli
®
Storage Manager, Computer
Associates ARCserve, VERITAS Backup Exec, or Legato NetWorker), refer to that
application’s installation instructions to install the device driver and configure
the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive.
v
If you do not intend to use the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive with a commercial
software application, install the device driver from the CD that was shipped
with the drive. Refer to the installation instructions in the IBM Ultrium Device
Drivers Installation and User’s Guide, which is on the CD. The CD contains drivers
and installation instructions for supported operating systems.
