Additional device scan considerations
After the initial scan is complete and saved, future full system hardware scans become unnecessary
in most cases. You must perform a hardware scan after any of these actions have occurred
(Windows in NT Miniport I/O mode of operation):
•
After the hardware configuration has been changed
•
After power cycling more than one of the tape drives on the system
•
After updating firmware in more than one of the tape drives on the system
To perform a hardware scan, exit and restart L&TT. On the Startup screen, select the Hardware
scan option rather than Saved scan. If you do not do this, the Windows operating system might
get out of sync with the L&TT saved scan because Windows device rediscovery assigns new logical
device names to the devices.
Also, if you power cycle or update firmware in a device while using a saved scan, the device may
not be accessible until it is rediscovered by Windows. If you select the device before it is
rediscovered, L&TT generates an error. After Windows has rediscovered the device, the device
can be selected without causing an error.
If you are running in saved scan mode and want to rescan the bus for devices, clicking the Rescan
button on the Scan tab of L&TT does not initiate a hardware scan. You must exit and restart L&TT,
and then choose the hardware scan option on the Startup screen to execute a hardware scan.
