TABLE 2-1Library Configuration Entries

Dynamic World Wide Name

Complete or verify the following fields to make the library and the drives operational:

TABLE 2-1Library Configuration Entries

Fields

Valid Values

Description

Transition State	Online
	Offline
	Forced offline

Online indicates that the library is available for operation.

Offline completes all outstanding jobs for the drive before taking it offline.

Forced offline (not recommended) immediately varies the drive offline; all outstanding jobs receive a device failure error.

TABLE 2-2Drive Configuration Entries

Fields	Valid Values	Description

Port X Enabled	True	Setting this value will turn on or off the physical port (A or B)
	False	on the drive.
		If you select False then the communication channel between
		the host software and the drive is disabled.
		The network software automatically configures the Port (A or
		B) address. This is called soft mode addressing.
		The arbitrated loop topology (hard ALPAs [Arbitrated Loop Physical
		Addresses]) can not be enabled for the SL8500 library or drives.

Transition State	Online
	Offline
	Forced offline

Online indicates that the drive is available for operation.

Offline completes all outstanding jobs for the drive before taking it offline.

Forced offline (not recommended) immediately varies the drive offline; all outstanding jobs receive a device failure error.

Dynamic World Wide Name

Each connection (port) in a Fibre Channel environment must have a unique ID called the World Wide Name (WWN). The WWN is a 64-bit address that identifies each individual device, company, with vendor information.When enabled, dWWN assigns names to library drive slots rather than devices. When a drive is replaced, the new drive receives the same name as the one it replaced, thereby eliminating the need for system re-configuration There are three World wide Names reserved for each drive bay: Node, Port A, and Port B.

Changing the WWN feature must be coordinated with the system administrator and is usually enabled during installation.

Note – Both library and tape drives must have microcode or firmware that supports the dynamic World Wide Naming feature.

AES uses the Rijndael algorithm, officially replacing the Triple DES Method. AES encryption can be done in one pass instead of three and its key size is greater than Triple Desís 168 bits. One of two privacy encryption protocols, AES is a stronger form of encryption than DES see also “Data Encryption Standard”.
