Supported Connection

You can attach the M8521 tape library (control path and data path) to a Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA) on an Integrity NonStop NS-series server.

Note. The control path is used to control the robot, and the data path is used to control the tape drive or drives.

Adding the Control Path and Data Path

Note. To obtain the portname numbers for your control path and data path, contact a service representative from STK. The portname numbers used in this section are examples only.

To add the control path, issue this SCF command:

SCF> ADD SCSI $device, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION (group, module, slot), PRIMARYSAC sac-id, LUN lun-id, PRIMARYPORT 64-bit-portname

Example:

SCF> ADD SCSI $M8521, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYLOCATION (110,2,2), PRIMARYSAC 2, LUN 0, PRIMARYPORT 1234567891234567
