Entering Configuration Data

Chapter 3

Drive Entries

Note

For 9840 drives only:

The drive’s SCSI ID and bus status can be entered from the

library’s operator panel if the drive has firmware version 1.24 or

higher. Check the drive’s firmware version, by selecting DRIVE

INFO from the Main Menu.

Configuring a 9840 drive might involve more than setting the

drive’s SCSI ID and bus status. For more information about 9840

drive configuration options and instructions, refer to the 9840

Tape Drive Service Manual.

Two entries complete the configuration options for each SCSI drive:

■

SCSI ID

■

Bus status (on or off bus)

Note

“On Bus” means that the drive is on the same SCSI bus as the

library. “Off Bus” means that the drive is not on the same SCSI

bus as the library.

Set the drive SCSI IDs and bus status from the drive configuration menu. You

can enter both values for each drive at the same time:
1. At the main Configuration Menu, press an arrow button until the cursor

underscores DRIVE CONFIG.

2. Press

the

[SELECT] button.

The screen will list all installed drives, and the cursor will align with the first

drive on the list.
An example of the format is:

00 HP LTO ID: 01

ON BUS: ON

The first two digits are the drive’s logical number (the number that the

library has assigned the drive). The tape library sets this number during its

automatic configuration sequence (at power-on or reset). It is an internal

number only and is shown for information only.
