Configuring the Library
Set the button to read Offline to take either the physical library or a partition, depending on the
current view, to an offline state. If only the physical library is taken offline, the library s partitions
will not process robotics commands, even though they are online. If only a partition is taken
offline, neither the physical library nor the other partitions are affected.

The paths to open the appropriate screens are:
From the RMI, select Operations > Partition Mode
From the FPI, select Operations > Change Partition Mode
Setting Drive ID
A SCSI ID is a value between 0 15. Each device on a SCSI bus (including the HBA) needs to have a
unique ID. Changing the SCSI ID is necessary when there is a duplicate ID on a single bus. Typically,
the HBA SCSI ID is set to 7. For example, if two tape drives are connected together on the same bus,
each tape drive must have different SCSI IDs and they must be different from the HBA SCSI ID.

the HBA SCSI ID is set to 7. For example, if two tape drives are connected together on the same bus,
each tape drive must have different SCSI IDs and they must be different from the HBA SCSI ID.
The library assigns default SCSI IDs to SCSI tape drives. The SCSI ID for drives is based on the bay
position in the library, and not the drive itself. This means that if a drive is replaced, or moved to a
different bay, the drive will take on the SCSI ID of the bay that it is installed in. The Set Drive ID
feature allows the operator to change the SCSI ID for any drive position. The default SCSI ID for the
drive bays is defined as follows:

different bay, the drive will take on the SCSI ID of the bay that it is installed in. The Set Drive ID
feature allows the operator to change the SCSI ID for any drive position. The default SCSI ID for the
drive bays is defined as follows:
Drive Bay= 1 (bottom)
Drive Bay= 2
Drive Bay= 3
Drive Bay= 4 (top)
The drive SCSI ID is configured with the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can
later access the SCSI ID configuration screens directly:

Modifying the Control Path
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. For normal operation
only one tape drive should be selected as the control path for each partition at one time. By default,
the lowest tape drive assigned to a partition is designated the control path. In the event that the
control path connection to the host application fails, you can manually select a new control path for
the partition.

Note
You may need to modify settings in your host application as a result of modifying
the control path. For details, refer to your host application documentation.
