Library Administration

Configuring the Library for Fibre Channel

NOTE Refer to Appendix C if you are unfamiliar with Fibre Channel terminology

before beginning this procedure.

The optional Fibre Channel interfaces in 20-slot, 40-slot, and 60-slot

libraries serve as a bridge between SCSI and Fibre Channel.

NOTE It is not necessary to connect the library to its Fibre Channel topology

(arbitrated loop or fabric) before configuration.

Configuration

NOTE When Fibre Channel interfaces are installed in the library, device SCSI

IDs cannot be changed from their factory default.

Though you do not need to set SCSI IDs for Fibre Channel, you will need

to configure Fibre Channel addressing.

1. Enter the

Fibre Channel menu.

2. Select the level where the Fibre Channel interface you want to

configure is located.

Use the

[-] key to select a lower level in the library.

Use the

[+] key to select a higher level in the library.

Select

[OK] if the level is correct.
