Chapter 3. Installing the Library
27
Verifying the Connection
Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the pre-set SCSI IDs
of the library.
When the host server is powered on, install the software and/or driver(s) that are
compatible with the library. Backup software packages may require additional software
or licensing to communicate with the library robotics.
Ensure that the library is properly terminated. If the library is the only SCSI device,
other than the SCSI host adapter on the selected SCSI bus, it must be terminated.
Likewise, if the library is physically the last SCSI device on the SCSI bus, it must be
terminated. Only the devices physically located at the beginning and end of the SCSI
bus should be terminated.
Confirm that the host server’s operating system recognizes the library. In Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000
®
, select
Settings > Control
Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Tape Drive and/or Media Changer
to
see if the Spectra T24 library is listed. For more information on verifying the
connection of SCSI devices, consult the documentation for the operating system.
