22 Fibre Channel Connectivity Troubleshooting
SCSI ID Assignment
with Native Fibre
Channel Tape Drives
0
With native Fibre Channel tape drives, each tape drive is it’s own Fibre
Channel target with a dedicated WWN and on LUN 0. The host (including the
laptop using MAGMA box) will pick up the devices and assign local SCSI IDs
in the order that the SAN devices are discovered. This will in almost every
case NOT match the order of the devices as they are installed in the library.
This is not a problem from the customer point of view, as long as drive
serialization is enabled on the library and serialization is supported by the
customers ISV application. This will allow the ISV application to put the
drives in the correct order within the application.
In some rare cases it may be necessary to re-map the local SCSI ID
assignments so that the library changer is at SCSI ID 0 and the drive SCSI ID
assignments follow in order. The important thing to remember is that the
order of the SCSI IDs on your system will probably not match the order of the
drives in the library. Make sure to check the SCSI ID that is assigned to the
WWN of the drive you want to communicate with or you may be
communicating to the wrong drive
