Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring Control Paths
68 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path per partition. In
the event that the tape drive control path connection to the host
application fails, you can manually select a different control path tape
drive for the partition.
Note: You might need to modify settings in your host application as a
result of modifying the control path. See your host application
documentation for more information.
You can only configure control paths via the Web client.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Control Path.
2 If more than one partition exists, select a partition and click Next.
3 To select a new control path for the partition, select a tape drive
from the list of tape drives.
4 To delete the control path for the partition, locate the tape drive
that is currently selected as the control path and clear the selection.
5 Click Apply.
6 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration
on page 107).
Note: You can configure a control path failover drive if you have an
Advanced Reporting license and HP LTO5 tape drives. See
Working with Control Path Failover (CPF) on page 113
