Configuring Your Library

The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:

•

From the web client, select 

Setup Wizard >

 

I/E Station Slots

.

•

From the operator panel, select 

Setup Wizard > I/E Station Slots

.

Setting Tape Drive Parameters

You can change the following parameters:

•

The SCSI ID for a SCSI-attached tape drive

•

The loop IDs, topology connection mode, and interface speed for a Fibre-attached tape drive

If the affected partition is online, it will be taken offline before the parameters are set, and brought back 
online after they are set.

Each device on a SCSI bus, including the host bus adapter (HBA) needs to have a unique SCSI ID. 
Changing the SCSI ID is necessary when there is a duplicate ID on a single bus. Typically, the HBA SCSI 
ID is set to 7. For example, if two tape drives are connected together on the same bus, each tape drive must 
have different SCSI IDs and they must be different from the HBA SCSI ID.

For SCSI tape drives, a SCSI ID can be set to a value between 0–15. The library assigns the following 
default SCSI IDs to SCSI tape drives:

•

5U control module: 1 and 2

•

9U expansion module: 3, 4, 5, and 6

For FC tape drives:

•

The loop ID can be set to a value between 0–125. A unique loop ID is selected by default for all FC 
tape drives installed in the library. For example, the tape drive installed in the top drive bay of a 5U 
control module is assigned a default loop ID of 61. The tape drive installed in the 5U control 
module’s bottom drive bay is assigned a default loop ID of 63.

If you change the default loop IDs, make sure each FC tape drive with a topology setting of Auto 
(LN), Loop (L), or Auto (NL) has a unique loop ID.

•

The requested topology connection mode can be set to one of the following:

•

Auto (LN) — Auto-configure trying L-Port first

•

Loop (L) — Force L-Port

•

Point to Point — Force N-Port

Note

This operation cannot be performed concurrently by multiple administrative 
users logged in from different locations. You can access the screen, but you 
cannot apply changes while another administrative user is performing the same 
operation.

Note

If you configure zero I/E station slots, you will not be able to perform I/E Station 
and drive management functions.

Note

The FC topology connection mode and interface speed can be set through the 
web client only, not through the operator panel user interface.
