15. To configure the new tape drive, use Command
View TL or the Interface Manager CLI to enter the
host mapping, access control, and FC speed
settings for the new tape drive. See the HP
Interface Manager and Command View TL User
Guide for detailed instructions.
NOTE: If you do not see the drive in
Command View TL, determine whether the
library found the drive by looking at the
OCP: from the Home screen, select the
Status tab, then select Component
Status+Individual Drive Status. If the OCP
shows the drive information correctly, check
the Ethernet cabling to the drive and the
internal network switch.
16. Configure the SAN switch.
a. Rezone the SAN, if necessary, to account for
the new tape drive and paths.
b. Reboot the SAN FC switch if necessary.
17. Verify that the FC port A LED on the new tape
drive is green when connected to a switch and
linked.
18. Close the back doors of the library.
19. Ensure that the tape drive has the latest firmware
for correct operation. If necessary, upgrade the
drive firmware using the Command View TL
firmware upgrade wizard or the Interface
Manager card CLI. See the HP Interface Manager
and Command View TL User Guide for detailed
procedures on upgrading drive firmware.
NOTE: After a drive replacement or firmware
upgrade, you may be required to run specific
OS commands from the HPUX host in order to
verify the drive path. See “Ensure the new drive
is CLAIMED and online” (page 12).
