Lucent Technologies PA-8500 User Manual

After the core system components are installed, tape drives can be installed.  For each U501 SCSI PCI card in the system,
the following can be configured: 

one stand-alone T800-Series tape or D85X CD-ROM drive (or)

●   

two daisy-chained T800-Series tape or  D85X CD-ROM drives

●   

This chapter explains how to install tape drives. It contains the following sections:

  

For more information about tape drives, refer to the  DNCP Series 400/400-CO (PA-8500): Tape Drive Operation Guide
 (R716).

For CD-ROM installation See DNCP Series 400/400-CO (PA-8500) CD-ROM Drive: Installation and Operation Guide
(R720)

Perform the following steps to suspend the SCSI bus to which your tape drive will be connected.

1. To find the single-ended SCSI PCI-card external port to which you want to attach

 

the tape drive, issue the vsbconf

command. This command lists all configured

 

virtual SCSI buses (VSBs) and their corresponding single-ended SCSI PCI

cards.

VSBs for tape drives are always 2 and 3. The VSB number is the same as PCI card

 

cage number housing the U501 SCSI

card to which the tape drive is attached.

In the following example, the SCSI cards are in slot 7 of card cages 2 (2070) and

 

3 (3070).
