Set the Library Fibre Channel Port Address

If the control path for the library is Fibre Channel, you must enable the Library’s Fibre

Channel Port (port A). The Fibre Channel Port A address locates the library’s Port A on

the Fibre Channel loop.

1. Select Tools > System Detail, and select the Library folder from the device tree.

2. Select Properties > General.

The screen displays detailed information about the library.

Note –

The screen includes the library’s world wide ID (the node ID) and the Port A

world wide name ID (the port ID). These two IDs are set at the factory and cannot be

changed. Each ID is 64 bits and uses the IEEE registered format.

To enable soft addressing:

a. Select True from the Port A Enabled drop-down list to enable Port A.

b. Set the Port A Loop Id to 126.

To enable hard addressing:

a. Select False from the Port A Enabled drop-down list to disable Port A.

b. Set the Port A Loop ID to value between 1-125.
