To change drive assignment on Fibre Channel ports

When creating a library, drives are automatically assigned based upon the specified port
configuration. If you select a pair of ports, the drives are distributed equally across both ports. To
change drive assignment:
1.

Click Edit.

2.

For each configured drive, select the required port from the drop-down list.

3.

Click Update.

IMPORTANT:

Be aware that Port 1 and port 3 are on the first Fibre Channel card, which is in

slot 2; port 2 and port 4 are on the second Fibre Channel card, which is in slot 3, so it is important
to ensure that the system has been cabled correctly when connecting to the Fibre Channel SAN.

Active Connections tab

This shows the Session information of any active connections to the library; it displays information
about open iSCSI sessions. All details are generated automatically and cannot be edited.

If a device is showing as not connected, this indicates that the iSCSI Initiator on the host has not
logged on. Log on using the iSCSI Initiator and set the device as a Persistent Target for that host
to ensure that it will automatically log on again whenever the host is rebooted.

Cartridges tab

This tab shows cartridge information for the selected library.
