Preparing
the
Host
Follow
these
general
guidelines:
1.
Ensure
that
your
backup
application
supports
the
SCSI,
SAS,
or
Fibre
Channel
host
bus
adapter
(HBA).
2.
Ensure
that
all
the
required
or
latest
available
Operating
System
files
and/or
updates
(dll’s,
PTF’s,
etc.)
have
been
installed
and
applied.
3.
If
the
host
server
is
connected
to
a
network,
check
with
the
system
administrator
before
turning
host
power
OFF.
4.
Install
a
suitably
rated
HBA.
Remember
that
if
there
are
any
single-ended
(SE)
devices
on
the
same
SCSI
bus,
the
entire
SCSI
bus
will
negotiate
down
to
SE
speed
and
severely
degrade
performance
and
limit
cable
length.
5.
Ensure
that
LUN
scanning
is
enabled
on
the
SCSI
host
adapter.
6.
Ensure
that
Fibre
Channel
Tape
Support
is
enabled
on
the
Fibre
Channel
HBA
if
installing
a
library
with
a
Fibre
Channel
drive.
7.
Ensure
that
SAS
support
is
enabled
on
the
SAS
HBA
if
installing
a
library
with
a
SAS
drive.
8.
For
library
managed
encryption
capability,
install
the
Dell
Encryption
Key
Manager
(EKM)
application
on
your
host.
Refer
to
the
Dell
PowerVault
Encryption
Key
Manager
User’s
Guide
for
detailed
instructions.
Verifying
the
Connection
1.
Depending
on
the
server
configuration,
you
may
need
to
change
the
SCSI
ID
or
Fibre
Channel
Loop
ID
of
the
library,
if
the
current
ID
is
the
same
as
another
device
on
the
bus.
2.
When
the
host
server
is
powered
ON,
install
the
software
and/or
driver(s)
that
are
compatible
with
the
library.
Backup
software
packages
may
require
additional
software
or
licensing
to
communicate
with
the
library
accessor.
3.
If
this
is
a
SCSI
attachment,
ensure
the
library
is
properly
terminated.
If
the
library
is
the
only
SCSI
device,
other
than
the
SCSI
host
adapter
on
the
selected
SCSI
bus,
it
must
be
terminated.
Likewise,
if
the
library
is
physically
the
last
SCSI
device
on
the
SCSI
bus,
it
must
be
terminated.
Only
the
devices
physically
located
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
the
SCSI
bus
should
be
terminated.
4.
Confirm
that
the
host
server
operating
system
recognized
the
library.
In
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Server
2003,
you
can
verify
this
by
going
to:
Settings
→
Control
Panel
→
System
→
Hardware
→
Device
Manager
→
Tape
Drive
and/or
Medium
Changer
.
