Step 3 – Set security
The Security option allows you to prevent unauthorized personnel from
disrupting the operation of the library. When you enable security, the
following activities are prevented:
S Changing SCSI IDs
S Changing SCSI parity checking
S Changing the control mode
S Changing the library serial number
S Using the Diagnostics Menu and the Demo Menu
S Using the Clean Drives Menu
S Opening the front door (operator panel security only)
S Changing the installed tape drive model
S Communicating with a tape drive across a serial port
If you attempt to perform any of the above operations when security is
enabled, the library displays a message that states security is active. The
message also states whether security was enabled from the operator
panel or by the application with a SCSI command.
Methods for enabling and disabling security
Security can be enabled or disabled in either of two ways:
S You can set the security option from the operator panel using the
Configuration Menu, as described in this section.
S The application software can issue a SCSI MODE SELECT
command to turn security on or off (see your software
documentation or the
Scalar AIT 220 Library SCSI Reference
).
