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

To add the data path:

Note. WWN (portname) for each port is labeled on the back of each tape drive.

1.In SCF, issue this command:

SCF> ADD TAPE $tape, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (group, module, slot), SAC sac-id, PORTNAME 64-bit-portname, LUN lun-id

Example:

SCF> ADD TAPE $M8504, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (110,2,2), SAC 2, LUN 0, PORT 50060B00002E69CD

Note. The LUN (logical unit number) for all Fibre Channel tape storage devices directly attached to the IOAM enclosure is 0.

2.To start the tape drive on the server, issue this command in SCF:

SCF> START TAPE $tape Example:

SCF> START TAPE $M8504
