Required Tools 0 The following tools are required to perform the tape drive upgrade

procedure:

• Flat blade screwdriver

Caution: Use appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions

when installing the tape drive.

Unpacking the Tape Drive 0

To unpack the tape drive:

1 Open the shipping carton.

2 Remove the tape drive from the carton.

The tape drive is protected by two pieces of foam and an antistatic bag.

3 Remove the foam from the wrapped tape drive. Remove the tape drive

from the antistatic bag.

Installing the Tape Drives 0

To install tape drives in a Scalar 50 Series library:

Note: If this is an initial library installation, it is recommended to turn

the library off prior to installing tape drives. If this is an existing
library that is receiving a tape drive upgrade, the library can
remain powered on.

Note: Each tape drive ships from Quantum with a version of library

firmware as well as drive firmware on the tape drive interface
PWA. When you install the tape drive, the library will check the
version of library firmware on the tape drive and verify if the
firmware is newer than the version currently running. If the
library firmware on the tape drive is newer than the version
currently running on the library, the OCP will prompt you with
the option to upgrade the library firmware.

1 At the back of the library, use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen the

captive screws that secure the cover plate to the empty drive bay.

2 Set the cover plate aside.

Setting the Tape Drive SCSI ID 0

The next step in the installation procedure is to set the required SCSI ID for
the new tape drive.

Note: The library assigns SCSI IDs based on the drive order. Drive bay

1 = SCSI ID 1, drive bay 2 = SCSI ID 2, and so forth. It is only
necessary to perform the steps in this section if you need to set the
tape drive SCSI ID to an ID other than the default.

There are two ways to set the tape drive SCSI ID:

• Setting the SCSI ID Using the OCP

• Setting the SCSI ID from the Remote Management Pages

Note: The firmware revision on the new tape drive(s) must match the

firmware revision on the currently installed tape drives (of the
same tape drive type). If the new tape drive has a different
revision, you must download the appropriate tape drive firmware
from Quantum and update the drive. All tape drives in the library
must contain the same firmware revision. You can view the tape
drive firmware revision on the OCP under

Drive Operations.

After native Fibre Channel tape drives are installed, additional information
must be gathered to complete the installation and verify connectivity.
Competing the native Fibre Channel tape drive installation consists of the
following steps:

The WWNs must be determined and recorded both for the customer and for
Quantum customer support. This information is important when replacing
the Fibre Channel SCB and tape drives. Using the following procedures,
complete table 3

and retain a copy of the table for your records. Have this
table available when contacting Quantum Customer Support for any library

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

c If you are connected to the SAN switch, verify that you are connected

to the same zone as the library and tape drives. If you are unsure, try
one of the ports on the SAN switch that a tape drive is connected to.

Note: If you are not on a port in the same zone as the library and all

of the drives, you will not be able to verify connectivity.

The SANblade manager displays (see figure 22

).

SCSI ID Assignment with Native Fibre Channel Tape Drives

The SANblade manager should display all connected Fibre Channel
devices. If the library and tape drives do NOT display, check the
cabling and connection status.

With native Fibre Channel tape drives, each tape drive is it’s own Fibre
Channel target with a dedicated WWN and on LUN 0. The host (including

0

the laptop using MAGMA box) will pick up the devices and assign local SCSI
IDs in the order that the SAN devices are discovered. This will in almost
every case NOT match the order of the devices as they are installed in the
library. This is not a problem from the customer point of view, as long as
drive serialization is enabled on the library and serialization is supported by
the customers ISV application. This will allow the ISV application to put the
drives in the correct order within the application.

In some rare cases it may be necessary to re-map the local SCSI ID
assignments so that the library changer is at SCSI ID 0 and the drive SCSI ID
assignments follow in order. The important thing to remember is that the
order of the SCSI IDs on your system will probably not match the order of the
drives in the library. Make sure to check the SCSI ID that is assigned to the
WWN of the drive you want to communicate with or you may be
communicating to the wrong drive
