Enabling or disabling a control path in a logical library
Complete this task to enable or disable a control path in a logical library.
About this task
After you add one or more drives to a logical library in the TS3500 tape library, you can enable or disable a control path. You can use this function to choose multiple control paths for a single library, or multiple pairings of control paths and logical libraries. A logical library must contain at least one control path.
Note: Logical
libraries with a maximum number of cartridges greater than 6 887 must
use LTO Ultrium 4, 3592 E05, or newer tape drives as control path
drives. Ultrium 4 control path drives require a minimum code level
of 97F0. For logical libraries with shuttle stations
assigned, Ultrium 4 control path drives require a minimum code level
of A480. Ultrium 5 control path drives require a minimum code level
of B170.
To enable or disable a control path in a logical library, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- From the Work Items navigation pane, select . The Drive Assignment screen displays.
- In the Drive column, select the drive that you want to enable or disable as the control path drive.
- Locate the intersection of the logical library column and drive row that you want, then select the control path icon to the left of the check box.
- From the Select Action drop-down box, select Apply, then click Go. The Operation in Progress screen displays, followed by a Success screen that indicates that the changes are complete.
