Sounds about right, however you do not need to power off and back on if you are running a later version of DOT (I think it came in 6.4.?)

 

storage disable adapter 0b

then

storage enable adapter 0b

Subject: Installing a new tape library

 

We currently have a DLT tape library connected to our F760 using the onboard HVD. We're going to change this out with a newer LTO2 library. The newer library uses LVD, so we have an HVD/LVD converter box. We also only use dump scripts to do our backups. It sounds like this should be as easy as

 

- power off F760

- disconnect DLT library

- connect LTO2 library with HVD/LVD converter

- power on F760

- modify scripts in case any SCSI IDs have change

 

Are there things we're overlooking. BTW, I realize we should have bought an LVD card for the F760, but someone had already purchased the converter and right now we're not up against any windows.

 

Thanks for any suggestions,

 

Scott
