HP StorageWorks 700ux/1100ux Optical Jukebox Setup Guide
Using the jukebox on your host system
The following procedures describe how to configure the jukebox with your host
operating system.
Note:
To use 30-GB disks, your operating system or application software must support
8,192 byte-per-sector media. HP-UX 11.x versions provide this natively with kernel
patches as applicable (see “
Connection to Windows 2000 and 2003 Server versions (32- and 64-bit
systems)
Caution:
To avoid software conflicts due to RSM drivers claiming the device,
do not attempt to attach a UDO jukebox to a Windows system before
completing the following steps.
The Windows operating systems do not offer any native driver support for the
jukebox robotics, or file systems (NTFS) for the 8K sector sized UDO media.
Though native support is not offered by the Windows operating systems, there are
important steps required in order for your device to operate correctly, including
after third party software has been installed.
1. Disable Removable Storage Manager and reboot the system before attaching
the jukebox.
2. Windows 2000 systems require a minimum of Service Pack 4 to be installed
as well as Microsoft Hotfix, as described in Knowledge Base Article
KB831293. This patch is required for the Windows operating system to
recognize an 8K sector sized device.
Note:
If you are using a supported software application, the UDF driver for the
Windows file system is not required.
