7.3.10.8 Adding Passthroughs (HSJ and HSD30 array controllers)
Enter option 5 from the main menu to work with passthroughs. From the
passthrough menu (see Figure 7–16), enter option 1 to add a passthrough.
CFMENU will ask you which device from the configured PTLs list you wish
to include in the passthrough.
Although you may add any generic SCSI device, you will normally add devices
requiring the use of MSCP read and write operations as a transport for SCSI
commands (such as ‘‘jukebox’’ style loaders). In Figure 7–16, a passthrough was
created from the tape library (loader) at PTL 330.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CFMENU updates the following fields after adding a passthrough:
• Stor.set Name—Storageset name. CFMENU automatically assigns the name
‘‘Px’’ to a passthrough. You cannot alter this automatic CFMENU naming
convention.
• Stor.set Typ/Sz—Storageset type. This field will read ‘‘PASS’’ for
passthroughs.
After adding passthroughs, return to the main menu.
