MSL6000 series tape library user guide 139

Host does not detect the library.

•

Ensure that the HBA type matches the library type

(LVDS or single-ended SCSI) and is properly installed

and configured.

•

Check that the library is terminated and properly

cabled.

•

Check that the SCSI cable length limits have not

been exceeded.

NOTE:

SCSI cable length limits are very short on a

Single-Ended bus.

•

Ensure that the terminator is compatible with the

library (LVDS or single-ended SCSI).

•

Check for SCSI ID conflicts.

•

Check that the HBA is recognized by the operating

system and properly configured.

•

Check that the application software is compatible

with the library, and that it has all necessary patches

and updates.

•

Check that the device is properly installed and

configured using HP StorageWorks Library & Tape

Tools, available from

http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools

•

Power cycle the library and power down the host.

Wait until the library completes its power cycle

before powering up the host.

•

If using Fibre Channel, make sure you power on the

devices in the correct order (switch, hub, library,

host).

•

If using Fibre Channel, make sure there is not a

zoning issue that is preventing the host from seeing

the library.

•

If using Fibre Channel, make sure that the router sees

the library and/or drives.

•

Contact your authorized service provider.
