Setting the SCSI Address
■
Setting the SCSI Address
You set the SCSI robotic address from the LSM operator panel. You might need to
get the addresses from your systems administrator or CSE.
Note: When configuring the LSM, you will encounter a message that states ‘Press
execute for drive config info.” If you are not connected through a Windows
NT network, ignore this option and press
MENU
. The CSE will select the
drive addresses at the drives.
However, if the drives and/or LSM are connected through a Windows NT
network, you must select the proper option.
Examples:
1. If you are connecting Drives 0 and 1 to the same bus on a Windows NT
network, you must select the “on bus” option because the drives are on
the same bus.
2. If Drives 0 and 1 are on separate Windows NT buses, you must select
the “off bus” option because the drives do not share the same bus.
Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 2-4 to make sure that you understand how to read the
block diagrams. Usually, pressing EXECUTE means “yes,” that you want to
perform the activity in the block, and pressing
MENU
means “no,” that you want to
continue through the choices until your activity appears in the block. Usually,
when you are at the end of the activity, you press
EXECUTE
. Press
MENU
if you
make a mistake or need to go through the choices again.
Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 2-5 for the menu block diagrams that describe how to
set the SCSI LSM and/or drive addresses to 0 through 7 if you have a PRS card, or 0
through 15 if you have a PRW card.
CAUTION:
During this procedure, the panel displays “Press Execute to Enter Lib
Size.” Do not do this. This is not normally an operator function. Altering
the library size can cause initialization errors.
