Setting the SCSI ID
Each SCSI device attached to the server that is to be the host for the DLT VS80
tape drive must have a unique SCSI ID. Check the SCSI IDs on all other devices
attached to the selected SCSI bus, including the SCSI host adapter itself, on the
selected server and select an unused SCSI ID for the tape drive. If the drive factory
default SCSI ID 6 is not being used by another device on the same SCSI bus, you
do not need to change the SCSI ID.
Note: You can use Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) to check the SCSI IDs on the other
devices. See Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” for complete information on L&TT.
