Compaq AA-RHGWC-TE manual 10.1 TL895 Robotic Controller Required Firmware

The physical SCSI IDs should match the SCSI IDs set by the library electronics. Ensure that the SCSI ID set by the rotary switch and from the control panel do not conflict with any SCSI bus controller SCSI ID.

The following sections describe how to prepare the TL895 for use on a shared SCSI bus in more detail.

8.10.1 TL895 Robotic Controller Required Firmware

Robotic firmware version N2.20 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 TL895 DLT Tape Library Diagnostic Software User’s Manual.

8.10.2 Setting the TL895 Tape Library SCSI IDs

The library and each tape drive must have the SCSI ID set (unless the default is sufficient). Table 8–11 lists the TL895 default SCSI IDs.

Table 8–11: TL895 Default SCSI ID Settings

SCSI Device	SCSI ID
Library	0
Drive 0	1
Drive 1	2
Drive 2	3
Drive 3	4
Drive 4	5
Drive 5	1
Drive 6	2

The SCSI IDs must be set mechanically by the rotary switches, and electronically from the control panel. After you have set the SCSI IDs from the switches, power up the library and electronically set the SCSI IDs.

To electronically set the SCSI ID for the TL895 library and tape drives, follow these steps:

1.At the control panel, press the Operator tab.

2.On the Enter Password screen, enter the operator password. The default operator password is 1234. The lock icon is unlocked and shows an O to indicate that you have operator-level security clearance.
