the boot process.
c. Verify that the SCSI host adapter recognizes the tape drive and the
loader during its initialization.
d.
Verify that the status on the loader’s front panel interface is OK.
e.
Verify that the power cable is inserted correctly.
f.
Verify that the SCSI cables are properly connected at both ends. Check
that the cables are not damaged, and verify the lengths of your SCSI
cabling. The length of the internal SCSI cabling inside the loader is
85cm. This length must be included in any calculation of cable length.
g.
Verify that the SCSI bus is properly terminated. Only the devices
physically at the beginning and end of the cable must be terminated.
Software checking
1. Verify that the operating system does not report a problem during the
boot.
2. Verify that the driver for the SCSI host adapter is present and loaded
properly.
3. Verify that the correct Drivers have been installed properly – if
applicable.
4. Verify that the Backup software does not report any error messages
when loading.
5.
If any problem occurs, reinstall the Backup Application Software and
check that both the loader and the tape drive are recognized.
Verifying Recent Changes
If the autoloader has been installed previously and operating correctly but is
now incurring a problem, verify any recent changes to the system to ensure that
these changes are not causing the problem. Try the following:
i.
If the system configuration has changed: Remove the change to see if it
affected the loader.
ii.
If an operating system corrective patch has been installed: Remove it to
see if it affected the loader.
iii.
If a SCSI device has been added: Check for SCSI ID conflicts.
