Library for the NonStop S-Series

Server

The section covers:

Configuration Overview

You can attach the tape library (control path and data path) to a NonStop S-series

server via an IOAM enclosure. The tape library attaches to the FCSA (Fibre Channel

ServerNet adapter) in the IOAM enclosure. The ServerNet switch board on the IOAM

enclosure connects to a MSEB (Modular ServerNet Expansion Board) on a NonStop S-

series server via a fiber-optic cable.

For more information on the IOAM enclosure, see the Modular I/O Installation and

Configuration Guide.

Adding the Control Path and Data Path

To add the control path, issue this SCF command:

SCF> ADD SCSI $device, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION

(group, module, slot), PRIMARYSAC sac-id, LUN lun-id,

PRIMARYPORT 64-bit-portname

Example:

SCF> ADD SCSI $M8521, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION

(110,2,2), PRIMARYSAC 2, LUN 0, PRIMARYPORT 1234567891234567
