Adding a Tape Drive
Adding a Tape Drive
1. Complete or modify the following forms for the installer:
•
Installation Document Checklist.
•
System Equipment Inventory Form. List only the tape drive that is being added
to the system.
•
If you plan to connect the added tape drive to a PMF CRU or IOMF CRU,
modify the appropriate configuration form for that PMF CRU or IOMF CRU.
•
If you plan to install a 6760 ServerNet/DA for the added tape drive, modify the
6760 Adapter and Modular Tape Subsystem Configuration Form. This form is
located in the 6760 ServerNet/DA Manual.
•
Floor Plan. Show where in the room the tape drive is to be installed.
2. Install the tape drive as described in the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation
and FastPath Guide or the documentation for your tape drive.
3. Use SCF to add the tape drive to the system configuration database as described
in the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem. Tape drives can be
added on line.
4. Test the new system configuration.
Changing the Configuration of a Tape Drive
You can change many of the configuration attributes of a tape drive, such as:
•
The logical device name of the tape drive
•
The default density
•
The default compression mode
All system configuration changes to a tape drive can be performed online. Refer to the
SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem and to the manual for your tape
drive for information about configuring tape drives.
