Chapter 3. Configuring the Library

Changing Configurations
To change the emulation mode for the library robotics or tape drives:
1. Power off the library.
2. With a small screwdriver, set the configuration switch to the value that
corresponds with the desired emulation mode.
3. With the library door closed, power on the library.
As the library changes its configuration, the robotic tape picker pauses in front
of the data cartridge magazine and the LED blinks amber and green. When
complete, the picker parks in front of the drive(s).
4. Check the new configuration by using your backup software, or by checking
that the host computer reflects the SCSI ID inquiry string changes.
The SCSI card BIOS should display the following information:
SCSI ID: <ID #> <DRIVE MODEL>
SCSI ID: <ID #> <DRIVE MODEL>
SCSI ID: <ID #> <LIBRARY INQUIRY>
Make sure that the ID numbers, drive models, and library setting appear as you
wanted them set.
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for other emulations as necessary.
Changing Configurations More than Once
The configuration switch default position of 0 overrides all previous configuration
switch settings and verifies that no previous changes to the configuration of the library,
drives, or drive switch positions remain, reducing the chance of mishap.
Before beginning a series of configuration changes:
1. Power off the library.
2. Set the configuration switch to the default position of 0.
3. Power on the library with the door closed.
After using this process to ensure that no previous switch settings remain, you can
follow Step 1
through Step 4 under Changing Configurations for new emulations.
