Figure 16 Drivers and device objects
Device manager view
The Windows Device Manager shows the instances of the failover paths which are configured
Figure 18 (page 42).
In the system shown in Figure 17 the library has two tape drives and each tape drive has two
primary ports attached to a different switch. Each drive port presents both tape drive (SSC) and
tape library (SMC) devices. One of the drives will be configured to present the active tape library
device paths and the second drive will be configured to present passive tape library device paths.
All tape drive paths are active.
