To add the control path, issue this SCF command:
SCF> ADD SCSI $device, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION
(group, module, slot), PRIMARYSAC sac-id, LUN lun-id,
PRIMARYPORT 64-bit-portname
Example:
SCF> ADD SCSI $M8521, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION
(110,2,2), PRIMARYSAC 2, LUN 0, PRIMARYPORT 1234567891234567
To add the data path:
1. In SCF, issue this command:
SCF> ADD TAPE $tape, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (group, module,
slot), SAC sac-id, PORTNAME 64-bit-portname, LUN lun-id
Example:
SCF> ADD TAPE $M8504, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (110,2,2), SAC
2, LUN 0, PORT 50060B00002E69CD
2. To start the tape drive on the server, issue this command in SCF:
SCF> START TAPE $tape
Example:
SCF> START TAPE $M8504
For complete details about the ADD and STATUS commands, including command
syntax, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
Note. To obtain the portname numbers for your control path and data path, contact a service
representative from STK. The portname numbers used in this section are examples only.
Note. WWN (portname) for each port is labeled on the back of each tape drive.
Note. The LUN (logical unit number) for all Fibre Channel tape storage devices directly
attached to the IOAM enclosure is 0.
