Installation 2 This chapter describes the following: ■ Identifying product components, page 18 ■ Identifying panel features, page 20 ■ Getting connected, page 22 HP StorageWorks 30ux Standalone UDO Drive Setup Guide 17
Installation Identifying product components The components listed in Table 3 may be supplied with the standalone UDO drive, depending on the configuration. Note: Visit http://www.hp.com/go/udo for additional information for your standalone UDO drive, including accessories and upgrade options. Table 3: Supplied accessories Component Description Power cord U.S.
Installation The components listed in Table 4 are not supplied with the standalone UDO drive, but are needed for operation. Table 4: Needed components Component Description SCSI cable High-density 68-pin (Micro D) connector for low-voltage differential interfaces Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Low-voltage differential SCSI (LVDS) with a free address for each drive. A single-ended (SE) HBA can be used with this LVDS device.
Installation Identifying panel features Identify the following panel features before you install the standalone UDO drive (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 21). Front panel features and descriptions 1 3 2 4 5 1 2 3 Disk slot Activity indicator Power indicator 4 5 Eject tool access hole Eject button Figure 3: Front panel features 20 ■ Disk slot—The opening used to load and unload UDO media. ■ Activity indicator—Lit when the drive is accessed and while the drive is loading or ejecting a disk.

Note: Be careful not to inadvertently change the SCSI ID when handling the standalone UDO drive. ■ Power connector—Connection for the power cord. ■ Power switch—Turns power to the standalone UDO drive on and off.
Installation Getting connected 1. Set the standalone UDO drive’s SCSI ID (see Figure 5). The SCSI ID you choose identifies the drive on the bus and sets its priority for use on the bus. You may want to refer to your host adapter’s documentation for guidance on installing this drive on the bus. a. Turn drive power to OFF. b. Check which SCSI addresses are available. Note: Ensure that there are no SCSI ID conflicts with existing devices.
Installation 2. Connect the drive to your host computer and terminate the last device in the SCSI chain (see Figure 6). The standalone UDO drive is a wide, low-voltage differential SCSI-3 device. You can connect the drive to a SCSI bus either as the only device on the bus or as one of a number of devices on the bus (daisy-chained). Figure 6: Connecting to the host computer The maximum supported cable length for an LVDS interface is 12 meters. The maximum supported cable length for SE is 3 meters.
Installation WARNING: This product can only be used with an HP approved power cord for your specific geographic region. Use of a non-HP approved power cord may result in: 1) noncompliance with individual, country-specific safety requirements; 2) insufficient conductor ampacity that could result in overheating with potential personal injury and/or property damage; and 3) a fractured power cord which could cause the internal contacts to be exposed, which could potentially subject the user to a shock hazard.
Installation ADVERTENCIA: este producto sólo puede utilizarse con un cable de alimentación aprobado por HP para su región geográfica específica.
Installation 3. Connect power to the drive. Power on the drive first, and then the host system (see Figure 7). a. Plug one end of the power cord into the AC line connector on the back of the standalone UDO drive and the other end into the power outlet. b. Press the power switch on the rear of the optical disk drive so that it is in the “ON” position. c.
Configuration 3 This chapter describes the following: ■ Using the standalone UDO drive on your host system, page 28 ■ Loading UDO media, page 32 HP StorageWorks 30ux Standalone UDO Drive Setup Guide 27
Configuration Using the standalone UDO drive on your host system The following procedures describe how to configure the standalone UDO drive with your host operating system. Note: To use 30-GB disks, your operating system or application software must support 8,192 byte-per-sector media. HP-UX 11.x versions provide this natively with kernel patches as applicable (see “Obtaining HP-UX patches” on page 29).
Configuration Connection to Windows 2000 and 2003 Server versions (32- and 64-bit systems) Caution: To avoid software conflicts due to RSM drivers claiming the device, do not attempt to attach a standalone UDO drive to a Windows system before completing the following steps. The Windows operating systems do not offer any native driver support for file systems (NTFS) for the 8K sector sized UDO media.
Configuration Note: HP-UX versions 11.x provide limited native support for the standalone UDO drive, including file system support for rewritable media. Note: When using a third party application, HP recommends you consult with the application vendor for configuration requirements and recommendations. Formatting and mounting UDO rewritable disks After loading the drive with media, you can format and mount the media as you would any other disk drive in HP-UX. 1.
Configuration Connection to Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, Tru-64, and Linux Use third-party drivers. No native support is available with these operating systems. Note: For operating systems requiring third party drivers, HP recommends attaching the standalone UDO drive to the host with the host powered off. Power on the standalone UDO drive and then power on the server.
Configuration Loading UDO media Note: Label all disks before loading them into the standalone UDO drive. Some application software packages require that you load and eject disks by using instructions in the software. If you use a software application to manage files in the standalone UDO drive, check the software documentation before proceeding with these steps.
Troubleshooting Installation 4 This chapter describes the following: ■ Resolving installation issues, page 34 ■ Using HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools, page 36 HP StorageWorks 30ux Standalone UDO Drive Setup Guide 33
Troubleshooting Installation Resolving installation issues If the procedures in Table 5 do not address or resolve your problem, visit http://www.hp.com/go/udo for additional assistance, or contact HP technical support (see “Getting help” on page 8). Table 5: Troubleshooting installation Problem Drive will not power on Solution ■ ■ Host computer system does not recognize the drive ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 34 Check that the power indicator light on the control panel is on.
Troubleshooting Installation Table 5: Troubleshooting installation (Continued) Problem Other SCSI devices no longer work when the drive is installed Solution ■ ■ ■ ■ HP StorageWorks 30ux Standalone UDO Drive Setup Guide Check SCSI ID assignments and resolve any conflicts. Ensure that the SCSI ID for the HBA is different from that of the drive. Check for proper SCSI cabling and termination. Ensure the maximum cable length for the bus has not been exceeded (12 meters for LVDS and 3 meters for SE).
Troubleshooting Installation Using HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) is a robust diagnostic tool for tape mechanisms, tape automation, magneto-optical and UDO products. L&TT provides functionality for firmware downloads, verification of device operation, maintenance procedures, failure analysis, corrective service actions and some utility functions.
Glossary Glossary This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product and is not a comprehensive glossary of computer terms. Glossary cartridge A plastic enclosure that contains an optical disk. The cartridge is labeled “A” or “B” to denote separate sides of the optical disk. The optical disk is never removed from the cartridge. disk See optical disk. driver A program that allows the operating system to communicate with a peripheral device.
Glossary ultra density optical UDO (Ultra Density Optical), like HP's DVD+RW, uses Phase Change technology in order to achieve increased data density on a 130mm disk. Phase Change technology uses a laser to read and write from the active layer on the disk. The recording process uses the laser to heat each data bit to a specific temperature. One temperature allows the bit to form a crystalline (reflective) mark and a different temperature allows the bit to form an amorphous (less reflective) mark.
