7.9 Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using SCF
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure tape drives
for the Himalaya S-series servers. SCF allows adding, changing of
the attributes, and deleting a tape drive. SCF can be run from any
terminal attached to the system after logging on.
Using SCF, the following can be done:
• Obtain configuration information about a tape drive
• Restore access to a tape drive
• Stop access to a tape drive, if there is no activity
• List tape drive status
• Switch the primary processor for a tape drive
Note: Use the product code “5190” when configuring the
5155/5159 Digital Linear Tape FRU.
This subsection provides examples of configuring cartridge tape
drives using SCF. The examples show how to define and add a
tape drive to the system configuration, alter the attributes of a tape
drive, and remove a tape drive from the system configuration. For
a complete description of how to configure and manage tape drives
using SCF, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage
Subsystem.
For information about how to use SCF to configure, control, and
inquire about all supported subsystems for the Himalaya S-series
servers, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series Releases.
