Setting the magazines
This setting is used to report the number of tape cartridges (storage elements)
and the element address to the SCSI host. This setting must match the physical
configuration in order for correct information to be reported. This setting only
affects the information reported to the SCSI host and does not affect the access
to magazine slots from the front panel or On-board Remote Management.
Those interfaces are based on the physical configuration.
When configured for both magazines, the autoloader always reports 16 tape
cartridges to the SCSI host. This allows the removal and reinstallation of
magazines without affecting what is reported to the host. When configured for
left or right, the autoloader always reports eight tape cartridges to the SCSI host.
The element addresses vary depending on which magazine is configured. If left
or right is selected, and both magazines are physically installed, the front panel
and On-board Remote Management lets you access the other magazine, but
the SCSI host does not have access to it.
To set the Magazines option:
1 From any page, click Configuration. The Configuration screen opens.
2 Scroll to Magazines. The Magazines options are shown. A check mark
appears after the currently enabled mode.
3 To leave the Magazines mode unchanged, press ESC.
- OR -
To change the Magazines configuration, scroll to the setting you want,
click the appropriate check box, then click Submit. These settings include
Both, Right, and Left.
The message “This will require a power cycle and ISV configuration
change. Enter To Continue” is displayed. To continue with the change,
press Submit. The message “Please power cycle the tape autoloader and
reconfigure the ISV app.” displays.
