Chapter 6 HPSS ConfigurationHPSS Installation Guide September 2002 409Release 4.5, Revision 2Drive Address The name/address bywhich the PVR can accessthe drive.Valid drive address (see Advicebelow).NoneAdvice:For StorageTek robots: Drive Address configuration entries correspond to theACS,Unit,Panel,Drive Number used by ACSLS to identify drives. For example, thefirst drive in a typical configuration has Drive Address 0,0,10,0 (see Appendix Kfor information about configuration of StorageTek drives).For 3584 LTO robots: The Drive Address configuration entries correspond to theSCSI address (location) of the drive in the library. Determine the drive location byrunning an inventory on the library either through the tapeutil utility supplied withthe Atape driver or using the library console.For IBM 3494/3495 robots: The Drive Address configuration entries correspond tothe hexadecimal Library device number of the drive. Determine the Library devicenumber by running the command “/opt/hpss/bin/GetESANumbers /dev/rmtX”for each tape drive in the robot.For operator mounted drives: For manually mounted drives, the drive addressstring is displayed to operators when an explicit drive is selected for mounting. Thedrive address should therefore be a string that easily communicates to an operatorthe drive in question (i.e., a name matching the label on the exterior of the drive).For AML robots: Leave the Drive Address field blank.Device Flags. The following fields are the device flags used by the MVR. Refer to Table for more information on therecommended settings for tape devices.Read Enabled An indication of whetherthe device is available forreading.ON,OFFONWrite Enabled An indication of whetherthe device is available forwriting.ON,OFFONRemovable Media Support An indication of whetherthe device supportsremovable media.ON,OFFON for tape,OFF for diskTable 6-33 Device/Drive Configuration Variables (Continued)Display Field Name Description Acceptable Values DefaultValue
