Library Administration

Setting SCSI IDs

Chapter 33-20

The SCSI ID for a drive position can be configured, even when no drive is

present. When a drive is later added, it will use the ID already assigned

to that location.

1. Enter the

SCSI IDs menu. A message warns you that devices with the

same SCSI IDs must be connected to different SCSI buses.

Select

[OK].

2. The

Configure SCSI ID screen displays a message that indicates the

drive position selected.

Use the

[-] or [+] key to select the drive or library controller, then

select

[OK]. Refer to “Library Back Panel” on page 1-24 or the product

information labels on the back of the library for the library’s drive

numbering arrangement.

3. The next screen displays the drive number and the current SCSI ID.

Use the

[-] or [+] key to select the desired SCSI ID, then select [OK].

4. A confirmation screen will indicate either a successful or failed

operation. If the SCSI ID assignment failed, the screen will indicate

the reason and then return to the

Configure SCSI ID screen.

NOTE After changing SCSI IDs, you can save the new settings to flash ROM by

power cycling the library, which allows the settings to be recovered if the

library is powered off for more than eight days. If this step is not

completed and the library is powered off for more than eight days, the new

settings may be lost.

NOTE You can also set SCSI IDs from remote access. See “Using the Remote

Management Card” on page 3-9.
