Figure 12 Configure library, basic control path failover configuration disabled
Figure 13 (page 33) and Figure 14 (page 34) show the System configuration pane. In Figure 13
(page 33) the option for Enable Library Control Path Failover is not selectable and the option for
Alternate Drive for Library Control Path Failover is set to N.A.. When the options for enabling basic
control path failover are not available the configuration requirements have not been met. The
configuration shown in Figure 12 (page 33) where only one drive port is configured for Fabric is
an example configuration where these options would not be available. Selecting the Help link in
the note following the option brings up a help page listing the configuration requirements.

In Figure 14 (page 34) the configuration requirements for enabling basic control path failover have
been met and the library has made the option for Enable Library Control Path Failover selectable
as well as providing a selection for the “Alternate Drive for Library Control Path.”
