Connecting the SCSI Cables to the Jukebox

The following is general cabling information.

Interface types available Single-ended or differential SCSI, selected by

the interface selection switch on the top of the

interface module (see “6” on Figure 1-2).

Number of hosts This jukebox may be used in high availability

environments. High availability environments can be complex and are not described in this guide. Consult with your high-availability vendor for installatio n and configuration.

The maximum cable length you have available for con nection to your h ost computer system or other devices depends on which interface type you select. The following table lists the maximum SCSI bus len gths available to you.

host computer)

Interface Type

Single-Ended SCSI

(50-pin high-density connector)

Differential SCSI

(68-pin high-density connector)

NOTE Hewlett-Packard recommends that you use SCSI cables with thumbscrew

connectors. Clip type cables may be used if you first remove the mounted thumbscrew studs with a flat blade screwdriver. If the thumbscrew studs are not removed, interference between the cable and the studs may result.

Chapter 1 1-11

Setting Up the Jukebox

Connecting the Jukebox with Other SCSI Devices

NOTE Operating this jukebox with other peripherals on the same bus is supported, but not

recommended.

In most circumstances, the recommended configuration for this jukebox is as the only device on a SCSI bus. However, your use of t he jukebox may be such t hat other devices could be connected to the bus without a loss of performance.

It is possible to connect this jukebox on a bus with additional devices in different ways (depending on your model):

• a 2- or 4-drive jukebox using basic SCSI addressing or

• a 2- or 4-drive jukebox using logical unit numbering (LUN) addressing Some issues that must be considered when connecting other devices on a bus with

this jukebox, include the following:

• How will the jukebox be used: archiving, backup, near-line storage? What performance must be maintained?

• How will the other device under consideration be used? How much demand will it place on the bus?

• Will you be have to mix “wide” and “narrow” devices on the bus?

Setting Up the Jukebox

Configuring Write Verify

The write verify configuration ensures that data is written reliably to an optical disk. The jukebox ships with write verify enabled. Many software applications also default to this method of writing.

Writing data on a magneto-optical disk requires two passes. The first pass erases the data in the sector to which data will be written. The second pass writes new data to that sector.

When write verify is configured to ON, an additional pass is made over the sector. This third pass verifies that all data is written correctl y to the sector. To add to the reliability of your data, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you maintain the default ON setting for write verify. Note that when write verify is ON, write operations take more time.

If you choose to change t he write verify con figu ration to OFF, refer to “C onfig uring Operating Configurations” in Chapter 3.

NOTE This is the last step in the installation process. Go to Chapter 3, “Op erating the

Jukebox.”

CAUTION Turning off the jukebox in the next step could cause data loss if not done correctly.

Do not turn off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive. Removing power from a SCSI device when the bus is active can result in data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. Check your host system manuals for information about checking the SCSI bus status. I f your computer is co nnected to a LAN, be sure to check with your system administrator before turning off power to the jukebox

2. Switch jukebox power OFF (see “3” on Figure 1-1).

3. Lift off the left side panel and remove the power cord and the SCSI cable connections.

4. Loosen the 1/2-inch nut securing each of the four leveler feet and screw the feet up to raise them away from the floor.

5. Carefully move the jukebox to its new destination.

6. Set up the jukebox at its new location. Refer to the cabling an d addressing information in the beginning of this chapter if necessary.

7. Lower the leveler feet and tighten the 1/2-inch nut on each foot.

8. Bring the jukebox online according to your system’s requirements.

Overview of This Chapter

Using Optical Disks

The optical disks that you use with your jukebox are an integral part of the storage process. This chapter provides information on the follo wing topics:

choosing an optical disk type

•

• labeling optical disks

• write-protecting optical disks

• caring for optical disks

NOTE The optical cartridges used in this jukebox are a critical part of reliable data storage.

Optical cartridges consist of an opto-magnetic medium and mechanical components. Consistent quality of opto-magnetic media ensu res correct “writes” and “reads.” The quality and fit of the mechanical components of the cartridge affect accurate, smooth handling of the cartridge by jukebox robotics. A failure of the mechanical components of a cartridge could damage the mechanism of an optical drive.

CAUTION Use only HP-qualified media cartridges in this jukebox. Use of n on- HP-qualified

optical cartridges could damage an optical drive and void the warranty of that drive.

NOTE A list of Hewlett-Packard optical media cartridges is in Table A-1 of Appendix A.

If you are not using HP media, please refer to the list of HP-qualified manufacturers on the website:
