The Prod
uct ID setting controls the product ID string that is
returned in a standard SCSI INQUIRY response. The library can
report that it is a Scalar 24, Scalar 100, Scalar i500, Scalar 1000,
Scalar i2000, Scalar i6000, or Scalar 10K. This feature can enable
the library to be used with host applications that do not yet
include the Scalar i6000 in a list of recognized devices.
In addition, the various Microsoft Windows oper
ating systems
maintain a list of recognized devices. If the Scalar i6000 is not in
an operating system’s list of recognized devices, the library will
appear as an “unknown” device in device lists. You might
prevent the library from being listed as “unknown” by setting
Product ID to a library other than Scalar i6000. This setting does
not cause any library operational changes other than the SCSI
INQUIRY response.
