Chapter Eight – Jukebox Support
121
• All drives in a jukebox must be on the same host adapter
as the changer mechanism. Although some jukeboxes
allow you to connect the drive and changers to different
adapters, you cannot do it here.
• If you are setting up two jukeboxes, each jukebox must be
set to a different Jukebox ID (see the next two pages, or
the jukebox manual for details). This is different than
setting the SCSI IDs of the drives.
• Because the NSM jukeboxes use serial connections, you
are required to specify startup parameters. This is done
during the installation procedure, as documented in the
Installing and Configuring the Jukebox Driver Software
section later in this chapter.
