- Install the SCSI adapter card in your system, if not already
installed.
- Determine the SCSI IDs available on the SCSI adapter card to which you are
attaching the device. Find one unused SCSI ID for each drive.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the SCSI ID for
the drive to the unused SCSI IDs that you found. You may have to set
switches on the back of the device or set the IDs on the operator's
panel.
- Note:
- Each device that is connected in a chain to a single SCSI bus must be set to
a unique SCSI ID. If each device does not have a unique SCSI ID,
serious system problems can arise.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions to attach the device to your
server system hardware.
Attention:
- Power off your system before attaching a device to prevent damage to the
hardware.
- Attach a terminator to the last device in the chain of devices connected
on one SCSI adapter card.
- Install the appropriate device drivers.
See Installing and Configuring Device Drivers.
- Find the device worksheet that applies to your device. See http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.
- Determine the name for the device and record the name on the device
worksheet. The device name for a tape drive is a special file
name.
See Determining Device Special File Names for details.
Keep the Worksheets: The information you record on the
worksheets can help you when you need to perform operations such as adding
volumes. Keep the worksheets for future reference.
