8.8 Preparing the TL894 DLT Automated Tape Library for
Shared SCSI Bus Usage
The topics in this section provide information on preparing the TL894 DLT
automated tape library for use on a shared SCSI bus in a TruCluster Server
cluster.
______________________ Note _______________________
Toachieve system performance capabilities, we recommend
placing no more than two TZ89 drives on a SCSI bus segment.
Wealso recommend thatstorage be placed on shared SCSI buses
that do not have tape drives.
The TL894 midrange automated DLT library contains a robotics controller
and four differential TZ89 tape drives.
The following sections describe how to prepare the TL894 in more detail.
8.8.1 TL894 Robotic Controller Required Firmware
Roboticfirmware VersionS2.20 isthe minimum firmware revision supported
in a TruCluster Server cluster. For information on upgrading the robotic
firmware, see the Flash Download section of the TL81X/TL894 Automated
TapeLibrary for DLT Cartridges Diagnostic Software User’sManual.
8.8.2 Setting TL894 Robotics Controller and Tape Drive SCSI IDs
The robotics controller, and each tape drive must have the SCSI ID set
(unless the default is sufficient). Table 8–4 lists the default SCSI IDs.
