3.3.4
Configuring the 5242 and 5242-ACL Tape Drive Online Using SCF
Use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to configure tape drives for NonStop servers. SCF allows
you to add, change the attributes of, and delete a tape drive. You can run SCF from any terminal on
the system after you are logged on. Using SCF, you can:
• 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
Note: Use the product code 5242 when configuring the 5242 tape drive or 5242-ACL when
configuring a 5242-ACL tape drive.
For information about how to use SCF to configure, control, and inquire about all supported tape
drives for Nonstop S-series servers, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs.
Example 1: Defining and Adding a Tape Drive
Use the SCF ADD TAPE command to define and add a 5242 or 5242-ACL tape drive to the
NonStop server configuration.
Before
using the ADD TAPE command, check that the tape drive is installed properly. For
installation instructions, refer to page 5. Verify the group enclosure, module, and slot to which the
tape drive it is connected.
The first example below adds a 5242 tape drive, $TAPE0. to a NonStop S-series system. The second
example adds a 5242 tape drive, $TAPE0, to an Integrity NonStop server system configuration:
-
>ADD TAPE $TAPE0, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (2, 1, 55),&
->&PRIMARYCPU 0, BACKUPCPU 1, PRODUCT 5242
-
>ADD TAPE $TAPE1, SENDTO STORAGE, LOCATION (110, 3, 2),LUN0, SAC2, PORTNAME WWN OF DEVICE TO BE
CONNECTED
->&PRIMARYCPU 2, BACKUPCPU 3, PRODUCT 5242
In this example:
• The LOCATION attribute specifies the location (group, module, slot) of the PMF or IOMF
adapter to which the tape drive is attached.
• The PRIMARYCPU attribute specifies the processor in which the primary tape process should
execute.
• The BACKUPCPU attribute specifies the processor in which the tape process starts its backup
process.
• The PRODUCT attribute specifies the product number that identifies the model of the tape
drive.
