Chapter 2 Setting Up the Tape Library Setting the Clock Setting the Screen Saver Setting the Tape Library Operating Mode Setting Network Information Setting the E-mail Function Setting the Clock When the tape library is initially set up, its clock must be set from the operator panel or remote panel.
In addition, the cleaning function of the backup software uses general cells for cleaning tapes, reducing the cells available for data cartridges. To avoid this problem, Fujitsu recommends enabling of the automatic cleaning function for automatic cleaning under control of the tape library.
2.4 Setting Network Information Fast Load Specify when the Move Medium command should issue a completion report: When mounting on (insertion into) the drive is complete or when the drive is ready. NetWorker does not support the Fast Load function. Be sure to specify Disable (default).
Setting Up the Tape Library 4) A processing-in-progress message appears in the window. The setting is complete when the message changes to an end message. Note: Restart the tape library, by turning off the power and turning it on again, to have the settings take effect.

2.5 Setting the E-mail Function 2) Set data for each item. Destination Address Up to five mail addresses to which mail should be sent can be (To) defined. Although up to 64 characters can be specified in each text area, only one mail address can be set in the text area. Characters that can be specified for addresses are en-size alphanumeric characters and symbols (- _ .
Chapter 3 Setting the Fibre Channel Interface Types of Connection Setting for Fibre Channel Connection Zoning This chapter provides examples of Fibre Channel interface connections and explains how to set the host interface and drive interface required for Fibre Channel connection.

Page 49
3.4 Zoning Procedure 4) Use the zoneCreate command to define the aliases for a zone so that the corresponding ports can be incorporated into the zone. zoneCreate "zone-name", "zone-alias-name; ..." The zone name must be specified only with alphanumeric characters (A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9) and the underscore (_).
Section 5.3.2 when Legato NetWorker is used). Notes: Refer to the "Fujitsu PCI Fibre Channel Installation Guide" for information about installing the fjpfca driver. Be sure to use version 2.2 or later of the fjpfca driver. Execute the pkginfo-l FJSVpfca command to check the version. Also confirm that patch 910936-06 or later has been applied.

Setting the Operating System 3) Edit the /kernel/drv/fjpfca.conf file. Three items need to be edited: the alias definition, port definition, and fcp-bind-target definition. a) Alias definition Define an alias name for the WWPN of the tape library. This definition makes possible settings that use the alias name instead of the WWPN.
Page 59
4.1 Setting Solaris b) Port definition Use an instance (for each adapter) to define the type of connection topology. # Port type definition # The port type definition sets the port mode for a specific instance. # If the "port" property is not defined, the fjpfca driver # will determine the port mode automatically during the initialization.
Page 60
Setting the Operating System c) fcp-bind-target definition Associate a target ID and WWPN as shown below. # Target binding definition # fcp-bind-target binds a specific instance to a target ID. # You can use defined alias in "alias" property for the WWN. # SYNOPSIS: fcp-bind-target="[target-name:[wwn|alias-name]", ...;...

Setting the Operating System 1) Execute the ls -l command to display a list of device files. # cd /dev/rmt/ # ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 48 Sep 10 20:10 0 -> ../../devices/pci@17,2000/fibre-channel@1/st@0,0: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 48 Sep 10 20:10 1 -> ../../devices/pci@16,2000/fibre-channel@1/st@1,0: 2) Check the symbolic link destination of the displayed device file.
2) Open [SCSI Adapters]. 3) Check the name of each device connected to [Adapters] on the [Devices] page. • "FUJITSU NML9A" indicates the tape library controller. • "IBM ULTRIUM-TD1" indicates a drive (*1). *1 If more than one drive is connected, "IBM ULTRIUM-TD1" is displayed for each of the drives.
Page 64
Setting the Operating System 5) Confirm that "IBM ULTRIUM-TD1 SCSI Sequential Device" and " Unknown Medium Changer Device" are displayed under the FC adapter to which devices are connected. 6) Display the properties of "IBM ULTRIUM-TD1 SCSI Sequential Device" (drive). If more than one drive is connected, display the properties of each drive.
Page 65
4.2 Setting Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 7) Display the properties for "Unknown Medium Changer Device." If a switch is connected, Target IDs are displayed in ascending order by port number (0, 1, 2 ...). 8) This finishes the connection check. If the information above cannot be checked, make sure again that the HBA has been installed correctly.
Chapter 5 Setting Backup Software Setting VERITAS NetBackup (Solaris) Setting VERITAS NetBackup (Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000) Setting Legato NetWorker This chapter explains how to set backup software that is required to use the tape library.
