Windows device correlation example
For Windows hosts only.
Assume that a TLD robot includes three drives at the following SCSI addresses:
Drive 1 | 5,0,0,0 |
Drive 2 | 5,0,1,0 |
Drive 3 | 5,0,2,0 |
Also assume that you requested that the tape be mounted on drive 1.
If the SCSI coordinates for the drive are configured correctly, the Administration Console Device Monitor shows that the tape is mounted on drive 1.
If the Device Monitor shows that the tape is mounted on a different drive, the SCSI coordinates for that drive are not correctly configured. For example, if the Device Monitor shows that the tape is mounted on drive 2, the SCSI coordinates for drive 1 are incorrect. Replace the drive 1 SCSI coordinates (5,0,0,0) with the correct SCSI coordinates (5,0,1,0) for drive 2. You also know that the SCSI coordinates for drive 2 are incorrect. Possibly, the SCSI coordinates were swapped during configuration.
Use the robotic test utility to unload and unmount the tape from drive 1. Repeat the test for each drive.
If the data path to the drive in which the tape is mounted is not on the robot control host, you may have to unload the drive. To do so, use a command on another host or use the drive's front panel.
