6.5 Device Adds, Moves, and Changes
The controller maintains configuration maps of device types and locations and
uses those maps for communicating with devices. If you add, move, or change
devices while the controller is powered off and without changing the controller
configuration first, the controller is not able to work with the changed devices
when it returns to service.
6.6 Tape Drive Firmware Revision
If you are not using HSUTIL to install your new tape firmware, do the
following:
• Before installing a new version of tape drive firmware, delete the tape
drive completely from the controller configuration. You can re-add the
tape drive after the firmware installation is complete. This prevents
interrupts to the drive during the code loading operation.
• After the firmware is installed, refer to the HSZ40 Array Controller HSOF
Version 3.1 Configuration Manual, HSZ40 Array Controller HSOF
Version 3.1 Service Manual, HSZ40 Array Controller HSOF Version 3.1
CLI Reference Manual for adding the tape drive back to the configuration.
6.7 Running CONFIG or CFMENU Utilities During Backup or
Copy Operations
Do not run the CONFIG or CFMENU utilities during a tape backup or copy
operation.
6.8 Changing Host Adapter Types
If for some reason you change your host adapter and maintain the same node
number, you MUST restart your controller or controllers.
