Preparing the Host

Follow these general guidelines:

1.Ensure that your backup application supports the SCSI, SAS, or Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA).

2.Ensure that all the required or latest available Operating System files and/or updates (dll’s, PTF’s, etc.) have been installed and applied.

3.If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system administrator before turning host power OFF.

4.Install a suitably rated HBA. Remember that if there are any single-ended (SE) devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE speed and severely degrade performance and limit cable length.

5.Ensure that LUN scanning is enabled on the SCSI host adapter.

6.Ensure that Fibre Channel Tape Support is enabled on the Fibre Channel HBA if installing a library with a Fibre Channel drive.

7.Ensure that SAS support is enabled on the SAS HBA if installing a library with a SAS drive.

8.For library managed encryption capability, install the Dell Encryption Key Manager (EKM) application on your host. Refer to the Dell PowerVault Encryption Key Manager User’s Guide for detailed instructions.

Verifying the Connection

1.Depending on the server configuration, you may need to change the SCSI ID or Fibre Channel Loop ID of the library, if the current ID is the same as another device on the bus.

2.When the host server is powered ON, install the software and/or driver(s) that are compatible with the library. Backup software packages may require additional software or licensing to communicate with the library accessor.

3.If this is a SCSI attachment, ensure the library is properly terminated. If the library is the only SCSI device, other than the SCSI host adapter on the selected SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Likewise, if the library is physically the last SCSI device on the SCSI bus, it must be terminated. Only the devices physically located at the beginning and end of the SCSI bus should be terminated.

4.Confirm that the host server operating system recognized the library. In Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, you can verify this by going to: Settings → Control Panel → System → Hardware → Device Manager → Tape Drive and/or Medium Changer .
