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:
•

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.

The media changer (robot) and tape drives within the library have WWNs
World Wide Names assigned to them by the system controller board (SCB).
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,

Add 04h to the last hex byte to derive the WWN for the next tape
drive.
Example: Drive 0 WWN is 50:05:08:40:16:6B:00, Drive 1 WWN will be
50:05:08:40:16:6B:04, Drive 2 WWN will be 50:05:08:40:16:6B:08.

Example: Drive 0 WWN is 50:05:08:40:16:6B:00, Media Changer WWN will
be 50:05:08:40:16:6A:00.
Verifying Library
Connectivity
To verify the tape drive installation, you should verify that the library and
tape drives are recognized from the host or from the SAN switch.

If the SAN switch is available, it is possible to verify connectivity by
connecting to the switch. There are two ways to directly access the SAN
switch:

To connect via a Telnet session to a SAN switch:
1 Connect the service laptop to the SAN switch using an Ethernet cross-
over cable, or by connecting to the LAN (if available).
2 On the service laptop, open a command prompt window.
3 From the command prompt, enter the following command and press
<Enter>:
telnet <IP address of SAN switch>
The SAN switch login prompt displays.
4 Enter the username and password and press <Enter>.
Note: For Brocade SAN switches, the default login is admin for the
username and password for password. This may have been
changed by the system administrator. For all other switches,
contact the system administrator.

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.
Verify that the SAN switch is powered on and operating normally.

The SANblade manager should display all connected Fibre Channel

SCSI ID Assignment
with Native Fibre
Channel Tape Drives 0
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
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
