3-18 Chapter 3
Operating the Jukebox
Setting the SCSI IDs
NOTE In the next step you will choose a new ID. Review this note.
This jukebox, by default, assigns ID 6 to the jukebox controller. When in LUN
mode, the jukebox controller ID uses LUN 0 for itself and assigns the drives on
Bus 1 to LUNs 1 to 4 or LUNs 1 to 6 (depending on whether you have four or
six drives on Bus 1 in your model of the jukebox).The result is that there are two
types of devices (controller and drives) at ID 6.
Some host computer systems do not allow you to assign different device types to
the same ID. If your host computer system does not support multiple types at the
same ID and you want to use LUN mode, you must select different IDs for the
jukebox controller (
JKBX ID # ) and the drives ( DRV # ).
Tables in Appendix B show jukebox default settings and an example of setting
the jukebox controller and drives to different IDs (one digit apart).
If another device ID is placed between the jukebox controller and the drives,
problems can result. For this reason, the jukebox will not accept IDs for the jukebox
controller and drives that are more than one digit apart. You will receive a
CONFLICT message.
6. Press NEXT or PREV until the new ID that you want displays and then press
ENTER .
If the jukebox is set to LUN MODE ON , go to Step 8. Only one ID can be
changed and the ID automatically updates when you press ENTER .
7. (If using basic SCSI addressing - LUN mode OFF) Press NEXT until UPDATE
displays, and then press ENTER .
8. UPDATE or WAIT FOR UPDATE and then ID’S SAVED displays briefly.
• If the new settings do not conflict with other SCSI IDs on the bus, SCSI
ID’S displays.
• If the new settings conflict with other IDs on the SCSI bus,
CONFLICT-ABORTED displays briefly and then VIEW ID’S displays.
Any changes entered are lost, and you must repeat steps 3 through 6 to set a
new ID.
NOTE When in LUN mode:
If the new ID you choose results in the IDs for the jukebox controller and the drives
being more than one digit apart, the jukebox displays
CONFLICT and rejects the ID.
9. Press CANCEL until READY displays.
