Setting Up Your HP SureStore E Tape Library

Configure the Library and
Power on the Host
Use the standby switch to power on
the library. If this is a Fibre Channel
installation, configure the library before
connecting it to the Fibre Channel
topology. (Refer to chapter 3 of library
User's Guide.)
Important: If you are using
Fibre Channel, power up in this order:
library, hub and/or switch (if applicable),
and then the host.
Install and Configure the Host
Drivers and Backup Software
(Refer to the backup software documentation for
more information.)
To verify that the host and library
are connected, look for the library's
SCSI ID on the host when the host is
powered on. You can also use HP
Library & Tape Tools (available from
www.hp.com/go/support) to ensure
the host and library are
communicating.
Run a test backup to ensure the
host, backup software, and library
are correctly configured.
