8.8Preparing 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 _______________________

To achieve system performance capabilities, we recommend placing no more than two TZ89 drives on a SCSI bus segment. We also recommend that storage 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

Robotic firmware Version S2.20 is the 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 Tape Library for DLT Cartridges Diagnostic Software User’s Manual.

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.
