Preparing the Host
Follow these general guidelines:
1.
Ensure that your backup application supports the SCSI, SAS, or Fibre Channel
host bus adapter (HBA).
2.
Ensure that all the required or latest available Operating System files and/or
updates (dll’s, PTF’s, etc.) have been installed and applied.
3.
If the host server is connected to a network, check with the system
administrator before turning host power OFF.
4.
Install a suitably rated HBA. Remember that if there are any single-ended (SE)
devices on the same SCSI bus, the entire SCSI bus will negotiate down to SE
speed and severely degrade performance and limit cable length.
5.
Ensure that LUN scanning is enabled on the SCSI host adapter.
6.
Ensure that Fibre Channel Tape Support is enabled on the Fibre Channel HBA
if installing a library with a Fibre Channel drive.
7.
Ensure that SAS support is enabled on the SAS HBA if installing a library with
a SAS drive.
8.
For library managed encryption, install the IBM SKLM application on your
host. Refer to the IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online at for
information.
