Preparing to Use the
Control Module 12
1 Close the library’s I/E station and access doors.
2 Add the tape drives to the modules. For details, see Adding,
Removing, and Replacing Tape Drives on page 444.
3 Add the power supplies. For details, see Adding, Removing, and
Replacing Power Supplies on page 420.
4 Install the LCB or compact flash card from the removed control
module in the new control module. For details, see Removing and
Replacing the Library Control Blade and LCB Compact Flash Card on
page 408.
5 Connect all power cords, network data cables, and module-to-
module cables. Make sure the module terminators are installed in
their previous positions at the top and bottom of the stack of
modules. For cabling instructions, see Cabling the Library
on
page 293.
6 Power on the library.
7 Re-create and/or modify partitions, cleaning slots, and I/E station
slots as desired.
8 Import tape cartridges into the correct partitions as needed.
9 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration
on page 495.
10 If the host application inventories the location of each tape cartridge
in the library, open the host application and reinventory in order to
sync its logical inventory with the physical inventory of the library.
Due to the way the library logically addresses its tape drives and slots
internally, replacing a control module may change the element
addresses, and this can affect proper communication to a controlling
host. See Understanding Logical Element Addressing
on page 35.
Because of this, you must refresh the configuration of any backup
application that manages the library to reflect the adjusted positions.
In addition, you may need to reboot the host server(s) or rescan the
bus to detect the changes.
