7.3.2.4 Configuring the Modular Tape Subsystem Online Using SCF
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure tape drives
for the Himalaya S-series servers. SCF allows the operator to add,
delete, and change the attributes of a tape drive. SCF can be run
from any terminal attached to the system after the operator is
logged on.
The SCF is used to:
•
Obtain configuration information about a tape drive
•
Restore access to a tape drive
•
Stop access to a tape drive, if there is no activity
•
List tape drive status
•
Switch the primary processor for a tape drive
This subsection provides examples of configuring cartridge tape
drives using SCF. The examples show how to define and add a
tape drive to the system configuration, alter the attributes of a tape
drive, and remove a tape drive from the system configuration. For
a complete description of how to configure and manage tape drives
using SCF, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage
Subsystem.
For information about how to use SCF to configure, control, and
inquire about all supported subsystems for the Himalaya S-series
servers, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series Releases.
