list includes the library robotic controller and the drives
installed in the library. The library robotic controller is
indicated by the device name
Library
. Drives may
appear with
(Unfitted)
after their number indicating the
drive is not present. BUS IDs may be set without the
drive present.
Location
Indicates the frame location of the device (in a
multiframe environment, the individual frame number
is indicated)
Interface
Using the pull-down menu, the interface type can be
selected. The two choices are SCSI and Fibre.
Note: The interface is obtained automatically for the
current fitted devices and can be set for future drives.
BUS ID
Indicates the BUS ID of the device. For SCSI devices,
BUS ID is the unique target ID of the device. For Fibre
Channel devices BUS ID is the unique Loop ID of the
device or “Soft” to indicate soft addressing mode.
Note: The BUS ID for unfitted devices will default to 0
unless specified using the
New BUS ID
control.
New BUS ID
Using the pull-down menu, the BUS ID can be modified
for either the library or the drives. Each device must
have a separate and unique BUS ID for that topology.
Each drive also displays its current BUS ID and allows
you to assign a new BUS ID.
Caution:
Changing a BUS ID once your configuration has
already been used by a backup software application
or Fibre Channel bridge could render the
configuration invalid.
