2 Determining your rack type

11420

You will need #2 and #3 Phillips screwdrivers, a small

flat screwdriver, the two rack rails, the Standard rack

hardware packet, and the additional hardware packet,

if any, for your rack.

Racks having vertical mounting rails with 10–32

threaded holes in the rack column (Sun StorEdge

Expansion Cabinet).

•You will need the packet of alignment pins marked

10–32 threaded-hole rack.

Racks having vertical mounting rails with M6 threaded

holes in the rack column (Sun Rack 900 and 1000).

•No additional hardware packet is needed.

Racks having vertical mountain rails with 9.5 mm square

holes in the rack column (Sun StorageTek Rack).

•You will need the packet of alignment pins and clip

nuts marked 9.5 mm square-hole rack.

Customizing the rails for 10–32

threaded‐hole racks

11421

Using a flat screwdriver, replace the two alignment pins

on the front and back of each rail with the pins from the

10–32 threaded-hole rack packet.

Customizing the rails for M6

6a Planning the parallel SCSI

configuration

11414

If the Library has only one parallel SCSI drive and is

theonlyparallelSCSIdeviceconnectedtothehost

computer, or you will put each drive on its own parallel

SCSI bus, skip this step.

If you are unfamiliar with configuring parallel SCSI

devices, read the parallel SCSI configuration information

in the User and service guide on the documentation CD.

Follow these general guidelines when planning the

parallel SCSI configuration:

•The LTO‐3tapedrive is an Ultra320 parallel SCSI

device. Only put one LTO‐3 tape drive on an

Ultra320 bus. Putting an LTO‐3tapedriveonalower

performance bus will degrade its performance. Do

not connect an LTO‐3 drive to an SE SCSI bus because

it will seriously degrade performance.

•The LTO‐2isanUltra160 parallel SCSI device. Up to

two LTO‐2 tape drives can share an Ultra320 bus or

each tape drive can be on its own Ultra160 bus.

•Avoid putting the Library on the same SCSI bus as a

disk drive or SE device.

•The default SCSI ID of full‐height tape drives is 4.

The default SCSI ID of half‐height drives is 4 or 5,

depending on the location of the drive in the Library.

11240

6b Planning the Fibre Channel

configuration

11418

The Fibre Channel tape drive has two Fibre Channel

ports. Only one port may be used at a time, but

both ports can be connected for path failover if your

application supports path failover.

Direct connection

You will need a 2 Gb or 4 Gb Fibre Channel HBA.

SAN connection

All switches between the host and the Library must be

oftheappropriatetype.A2Gbswitchinthepathmay

result in performance degradation when backing up

highly compressible data to a 4 Gb tape drive.

Configure zoning on the Fibre switch so only the backup

servers can access the Library.

7 Changing the SCSI ID

In a parallel SCSI Library, If you need to change the

SCSI ID for one or both of the tape drives, do so before

connecting the Library to the host computer.

1. Attach the power cord to the Library.

2. Power on the Library by pressing the power button

on the front panel.

3. Check the LCD screen to make sure the Library is

ready.

4. Use the control keys below the LCD screen to

highlight Conﬁguration > Drives > Drive #,where#is

thenumberofthedrivewhoseSCSIIDyouneedto

change. PresstheOK key.

5. Press OK to select the editable block. Use the Up and

Down control keys to change the SCSI ID. Press OK

to select the value.

6. Highlight Save and press OK to save the SCSI ID.

7. ChangetheSCSIIDoftheotherdriveifnecessary.

Power off the Library.

Page 6

8Preparingtheh

ost

If necessary, install software, a host bus adapter (HBA),

and compatible drivers in the host computer.

Ensure that your HBA supports multiple LUNs. For

parallel SCSI devices, verify that multiple LUN support

is enabled for the HBA and operating system.

Sun recommends that the host server be powered down

before attaching new devices.

9a Connecting the Library:

parallel SCSI

11415

To HBA

NOTE:

AparallelSC

SI LTO‐3 drive should be the only device

on the bus. A maximum of two LTO‐2drivescanbe

on a single Ultra320 bus.

Attach one end of the parallel SCSI cable to one of the

connectors on the drive. Attach the other end of the cable

to the host bus adapter (HBA) or to the connector on the

previousdeviceontheSCSIbus.

Ifthetapedr

ive is the last or only device on the SCSI

bus, attach a terminator to the remaining SCSI connector

on the drive. Otherwise, attach a SCSI cable to the next

device on theSCSIbus.Makesurethatthelastdeviceon

theSCSIbusisproperlyterminated.

Connect the second drive, if applicable.

9b Connecting theLibrary:

Fibre Channel

To HBA

11419

Remove the FC port cap from Port A. Attach one end of

the FC cable to Port A on the tape drive. Attach the other

end of the FC cable to a switch or HBA.

10 Powering on the Library

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port

on the back of the Library. Plug the other end of the cable

into an Ethernet LAN port.

Plug the power cable into the Library and the power

outlet.

Power on the Library using the power button located on

the front panel. Check the LCD screen to make sure the

Library is receiving power.

Power on the host server and all devices you powered

off earlier.

11 Configuring the network

Configuring the network enables you to monitor,

configure, and control most Library functions from the

remote management interface (RMI). By default, the

Library will obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

You can configure the Library to use a static IP address.

Once the Library has an IP address, you can change the

network configuration from the OCP or RMI.

To see the IP address obtained from a DHCP server, go

to the Info > Network option. To configure a static IP

address, go to the Conﬁguration > Network option.

Page 7

12 Setting the date and time

This option sets the date and time used by the Library

to record events and should be set during the initial

installation process.

To set the date and time:

1. On the front panel, highlight Conﬁguration > Set

Date and Time.PressOK.

2. Press OK to select the first block that can be edited.

Use the Left and Right control keys to move between

digits in the Date and Time fields. Use the Up

and Down control keys to change the value of the

highlighted digit. When the screen shows the

desired value, press OK.

NOTE:

When setting the hours, the time is based on a 24‐hour

clock.Thereisnoa.m.orp.m.designation.For

example, 1:00 a.m. is 13:00.

13 Setting the administrator

password

Setting an administrator password provides access

to the administrator functions with the remote

management interface (RMI) and restricts access to

administrator functions from people who do not

know the administrator password. The administrator

password must be exactly eight digits consisting of the

numbers 0 through 9.

To set the administrator password:

1. Use the control keys below the LCD screen to

highlight Conﬁguration > Set Admin Password.Press

OK.

2. Press OK to select the editable block. The Left and

Right control keys allow you to move between the

digits in the password field. Use the Up and Down

control keys to change the value of the highlighted

digit. Press OK to set the value.

14 Configuring the Fibre

Channel ports

Sun recommends leaving the Fibre Channel ports at the

default settings of Port Speed: Automatic and Port Type:

Auto Detect. With these settings, the drive will choose the

appropriate configuration. See the User and service guide

on the documentation CD for instructions on changing

the Fibre Channel configuration.

15 Labeling tape cartridges

10452

10453

Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables

the Library and application software to identify the

cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time.

Makeitapracticetousebarcodelabelsonyourtape

cartridges.

IMPORTANT:

The misuse and misunderstanding of bar code

technology can result in backup and restore failures.

To ensure that your bar codes meet quality standards,

always purchase them from an approved supplier and

never print bar code labels yourself.

LTO tape cartridges have a recessed area located on the

face of the cartridge next to the write‐protect switch.

Use this area for attaching the adhesive‐backed bar code

label. Only apply labels as designated.

Page 8

16 Loading tape cartridges

Use the front panel Operations > Unlock Left Magazines

option to release the left magazines. Pull both magazines

straight out of the front of the Library.

10848

The lower left magazine, which is designated by a white

dot on the lower right corner, has a three‐slot mailslot in

the front of the magazine. Leave these slots empty if you

plan to enable the mailslot.

Insert the tape cartridges into the magazines.

Replace the magazines in the Library.

Repeat for the right magazines.

11407

36 37

TIP:

11401

To remove the magazines on both sides of the Library

or to remove the magazines when the Library is

powered down, 1) insert a straightened paperclip or

small pin into the magazine release hole on the back

panel, while 2) another person removes the magazines

from that side.

Mailslot

11380

The mailslot in the left magazine allows you to insert

and remove tapes without removing the magazine. You

can open the mailslot from the front panel or with host

software that supports this function.

11292

When the mailslot is enabled, the mailslot uses the front

three slots of the lower left magazine and the storage

slots are renumbered.

Page 9

Using the remote management

interface (RMI)

With the RMI, you can monitor the Libraryʹs status,

configure it, and control most of its functions from a web

browserorterminal.SNMPcanonlybeconfiguredwith

the RMI.

Using the OCP, find the Libraryʹs IP address from the

Info > Network screen. Open any HTML web browser

and enter the Libraryʹs IP address. Select the account

type. For the administrator account, you must also enter

the administrator password. Click Sign In.

Once signed in, click Help in the upper right‐hand corner

for more information about the fields and information

in the RMI.
