Working with Library Control Paths
You must define a control path for each library partition. The control path is used to connect a partition to a
host application. The Scalar i2000/i6000 does not automatically assign a control path when you create a
partition. Each partition control path can occur through one of several different physical connection points
depending on the hardware configuration of your library. The procedure for setting up and defining the
control path for a partition depends on which physical connection point you choose to use.
If you have more than one FC I/O blade in the library, each FC I/O blade
presents each partition--that does not have a tape drive as the control path --
as a target device to the host. Thus the host may see the same partition
multiple times. To avoid confusion, configure host mapping so that each host
sees each device only once.
Once a control path connection to a host is configured through a
drive, that same host to control path connection will not be visible
through a FC I/O blade and vice versa. Once the control path is
established via one physical connection, it must be deleted before it
can be set up through an alternate physical connection.
