Library Administration
Configuring the Library for Fibre Channel (for firmware revisions
greater than 1.14)
• If you selected hard addressing for a loop connection, select the
AL_PA (fixed address) or choose auto-select. Auto-select is an
option under hard addressing that selects an available address
and then uses it as a hard address from then on.
7. Press
[OK] when complete to save the changes, or select [QUIT] to
return to the beginning of the fibre configuration menu. If you select
[QUIT], a message will display indicating the old values will be
retained.
If you select [OK], a message will display indicating that the settings
are being stored onto the Fibre Channel card. If this is successful, a
message displays indicating that the new settings will be attempted
at the next restart.
8. To immediately apply the new settings, select
[RESTART], or select
[DONE] to wait until the next power cycle.
When the Fibre Channel card is restarted, or when the library is
power-cycled,
FUTURE SETTINGS are copied into CURRENT SETTINGS.
The Fibre Channel card always attempts to connect using
CURRENT
SETTINGS
.
• If you select
[RESTART], the Fibre Channel card is restarted. This
should not be attempted if data transfers or library operations are
in progress. The
[RESTART] operation normally completes within
90 seconds. The display will report the status of the operation
when it is complete.
NOTE The actual connection achieved depends on the external topology and
network. Consequently,
CURRENT STATUS may differ from CURRENT
SETTINGS.
NOTE You can also change configuration from remote access. See “Configuring
the Remote Management Card” on page 4-10.
