Entering Tape Drive Information
An IPL sequence performs an automatic configuration of the tape drives. This
sequence assigns local tape drive numbers for all tape drives within the tape library.
The uppermost tape drive within the column is designated as 0, the next is 1, and so
forth. These drive numbers are only for tape library to tape drive communication.
The SCSI system addresses must be assigned to the drives before the host
recognizes them. It also must be specified it the tape drives are on the same SCSI bus
as the tape library (on bus) or whether they are on a separate SCSI bus (off bus).
SCSI ID for the Tape Drive
The SCSI ID is the system address of the tape drive. This information must be entered
for every tape drive within the system.
On Bus or Off Bus
This entry determines whether the tape drive is on the same cable path (on bus) as the
tape library or on a separate bus (off bus).
Setting SCSI ID and Bus Status
The tape drive SCSI IDs and bus status choices can be set from the DRIVE CONFIG
SCREEN. For each drive:
Note. To configure CT9841FC-1 tape drives, see the Tape Drive System Product Manual (STK
PN 95741). For further information, contact StorageTek Product Support at 1-800-525-0369.
Note. The system manager can provide this information.
Note. Due to the size of the tape drive, the operator panel will display dashed lines (- - -)
between drives. This is due to the empty (not connected) power and tape transport interface
(TTI) connector displayed next to the physical size of the drive.
