Table 11 Troubleshooting General Problems (continued)

Problem

 

Solution

 

Host does not detect the library.

 

• Ensure that the HBA type matches the library type

 

 

 

(LVDS or single-ended SCSI) and is properly installed

 

 

 

and configured.

 

 

 

• Check that the library is terminated and properly

 

 

 

cabled.

 

 

 

• Check that the SCSI cable length limits have not

 

 

 

been exceeded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: SCSI cable length limits are very short on a

 

 

 

Single-Ended bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Ensure that the terminator is compatible with the

 

 

 

library (LVDS or single-ended SCSI).

 

 

 

• Check for SCSI ID conflicts.

 

 

 

• Check that the HBA is recognized by the operating

 

 

 

system and properly configured.

 

 

 

• Check that the application software is compatible

 

 

 

with the library, and that it has all necessary patches

 

 

 

and updates.

 

 

 

• Check that the device is properly installed and

 

 

 

configured using HP StorageWorks Library & Tape

 

 

 

Tools, available from

 

 

 

http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools

 

 

 

• Power cycle the library and power down the host.

 

 

 

Wait until the library completes its power cycle

 

 

 

before powering up the host.

 

 

 

• If using Fibre Channel, make sure you power on the

 

 

 

devices in the correct order (switch, hub, library,

 

 

 

host).

 

 

 

• If using Fibre Channel, make sure there is not a

 

 

 

zoning issue that is preventing the host from seeing

 

 

 

the library.

 

 

 

• If using Fibre Channel, make sure that the router sees

 

 

 

the library and/or drives.

 

 

 

• Contact your authorized service provider.
