World wide names (port 0 and port 1)
7 Record the WWNs for the media changer and tape drives in table 3.
Note: These numbers are the world wide NODE names for the library and tape drives. The World Wide Port Name is very similar to the World Wide Node Name, however, the last hex byte is 01h greater than the last hex byte of the node name.
• Repeat step 6 for all tape drives in the library or
• Add 04h to the last hex byte to derive the WWN for the next tape drive.
Example: Drive 0 WWN is 50:05:08:40:16:6B:00, Drive 1 WWN will be
50:05:08:40:16:6B:04, Drive 2 WWN will be 50:05:08:40:16:6B:08.
8 To determine the WWN for the media changer, subtract 01h from the next to last hex byte of the WWN for Drive 0.
Example: Drive 0 WWN is 50:05:08:40:16:6B:00, Media Changer WWN will
be 50:05:08:40:16:6A:00.
Verifying Library | To verify the tape drive installation, you should verify that the library and |
Connectivity | tape drives are recognized from the host or from the SAN switch. |
| If the SAN switch is available, it is possible to verify connectivity by |
| connecting to the switch. There are two ways to directly access the SAN |
| switch: |
| • Connect Via a Telnet Session |
