That is for FC connections.
Always power off the SCSI connectors if you can. This means turn off the F760.
Not doing so may cause damage to the F760 SCSI, the Tape Drive/library or both sides.

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

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

So much for, "should be as easy as...", we can't get the F760 to see the library, so I'm wondering if speeds could be a problem. Anyone know what the specs of the HVD connection on the F760 motherboard are. Is this a SCSI I at 5MB or something different?Thanks,
Scott
