• Scalar 50 and PX5xx (V51) includes the following feature for this new product launch.
Caution:
With the release of firmware V51, the media changer’s Fibre Channel
(FC) World Wide Port Name (WWPN) has been changed to be
consistent with other Quantum Scalar libraries and FC target devices.
In the prior firmware release, the WWPN was equal to the World Wide
Node Name (WWNN). In V51 the WWPN is now a value of one
greater than the WWNN. The media changer’s World Wide Port Name
value is reported on the Remote Management Pages under
Setup ->
SCSI/Fibre -> Connectivity/Fibre
. When upgrading from a prior
firmware revision, this change may result in library not being
available to the host in FC SAN configurations that employ persistent
binding and/or zoning in FC switch(es). An update to persistent
bindings settings or rezoning of the FC switch(es) may be required.
• Added support for the HP LTO-4 Half Height tape drive (SAS).
