Configuring the Modular Tape Enclosure Online
Using SCF (PMF/IOMF)
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure tape drives for the NonStop TM
Himalaya S-Series processors. SCF allows adding, changing of the attributes, and
deleting a tape drive. You can run SCF from any terminal attached to the system after
logging on.
Using SCF, you can do the following:
•
Obtain configuration information about a tape drive
•
Restore access to a tape drive
•
Stop access to a tape drive if there is no activity
•
List tape drive status
•
Switch the primary processor for a tape drive
This section provides examples of configuring cartridge tape drives using SCF. The
examples show how to define and add a tape drive to the system configuration. For a
complete description of how to configure and manage tape drives using SCF, see the
SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem.
For information about how to use SCF to configure, control, and inquire about all
supported enclsoures for the NonStop
TM Himalaya S-Series server, see the SCF
Reference Manual for G-Series Releases.
Example 1: Defining and Adding a Tape Drive (PMF/IOMF)
Use the SCF ADD TAPE command to define and add a 5257/5257ACL tape drive to the
system configuration. Before issuing the ADD TAPE command, ensure that the tape
drive is installed properly. The following example adds a 5257/5257ACL drive FRU,
“$TAPE0,” to the system configuration:
->ADD TAPE $TAPE0, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (1,1,55), &
->PRIMARYCPU 0, BACKUPCPU 1,
