Use the Setup Drive Settings screen to select the interface type of the tape drive that requires a settings change. For Fibre Channel tape drives, you can change loop ID, topology connection mode, and interface speed. For SCSI tape drives, you can change the SCSI ID. Modifying a drive ID allows you to change the way tape drives appear to the host application. All host applications that view the tape drive will see the same ID associated with the tape drive.

You can view but not change Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) tape drives. A SAS tape drive's SAS address is automatically and uniquely generated based on a unique World Wide Name (WWN) that the drive receives when it is configured.

To select a tape drive interface type:

    1. Do one of the following:
      • If you need to modify the loop ID, topology, or speed of a Fibre Channel tape drive, select Fibre.
      • If you need to modify the SCSI ID of a SCSI tape drive, select SCSI.
      • If you want to view a SAS tape drive's settings, select SAS.
    2. Select Apply.

Note: At any time, select Cancel to exit the Setup Drive Settings screen.
