Section 3—Replacing an LTO2 or LTO3
tape drive in a library that already has
an LTO4 tape drive
1. Record library settings.
Replacing an LTO2 or LTO3 tape drive with an LTO4 tape drive
requires all host mapping, partitioning, access control, and Fibre
Channel (FC) speed settings to be cleared out and m anually
re-entered at the end of the replacement procedure. In preparation
for this, use Command View TL or the Inter face Manager CLI
to write down all these settings before beginning the drive
replacement. Because the hardware and device paths will change,
ETLA's save/restore features can not be used to re-enter old settings.
2. Unload tape cart
ridges.
Unload any tape cartridges from the drive to be replaced using
your applicatio
n software or the library Operator Control Panel
(OCP). Use your
backup software to stop library activity.
3. Open the back d
oors of the library.

tape drive.

ape drive to be replaced. The fault LED might
