Configuring the Library for Fibre Channel
(for versions of firmware 1.14 and lower)
The optional Fibre Channel interface cards in the library serve as a
bridge between SCSI and Fibre Channel. If you are configuring a library
for Fibre Channel that has a firmware version greater than 1.14, see
page 4-18. You can check the firmware version by going into
Service ->
Information-> Library Information
.
Arbitrated Loop Configuration
NOTE The library should be connected to its Fibre Channel topology (e.g.
arbitrated loop or fabric) before configuration. When connected to a
fabric, no configuration is needed.
When Fibre Channel bridges are installed in the library, device SCSI IDs
cannot be changed from their factory default. Though you do not need to
set SCSI IDs for Fibre Channel, you will need to configure the library for
fibre addressing.
1. Enter the
Fibre Channel menu.
2. Select the level where the Fibre Channel interface card you want to
configure is located.
Use the
[-] key to select a lower level in the library.
Use the
[+] key to select a higher level in the library.
Select
[OK] if the level is correct.
