The firewall port to receive client commands. After the DAS/ACI firewall is installed, the restart is requested. A new software service DAS-ACI Firewall appears in system services list. Removing DAS Client Using Add-Remove Software, launch Scalar DLC DAS Client and remove the software. Installation Guide 69 70 DAS Client SCSI/FC Target Drivers The Scalar DLC software uses some SCSI and/or Fibre Channel adapters in Target mode to provide the customer access to the Scalar DLC via the SCSI. SCSI and Fibre Channel Hardware The SCSI and/or Fibre Channel adapters must be installed into the PCI-type slots as shown in Table 18 on page 72. CAUTION Connecting two adapters that do not match will cause hardware damage. Before connecting SCSI Initiator (Scalar DLC / client host) and Target (Medium changer / Scalar DLC host) adapters with the SCSI cable, be sure that they match each other. See Table 16 for a description of adapters that are currently supported and see Table 17 on page 72 for a match description.

The driver is designed by ADIC to execute the SCSI backup applications right on the PC where the Scalar DLC software is installed. No SCSI/FC hardware is required in this case. Installation Guide 71 Note The Local SCSI Target driver (powered by ADIC) is added for emulation the SCSI Target features on a PC without appropriate SCSI adapter. In the Management GUI, under the SCSI Target tab, the Local SCSI Target port appears, so the Target objects can be created and assigned to the SCSI Clients. However, this port is not reflected in the SCSI Target Port Tool because this utility shows only adapters that could operate either as Initiators or as Targets. Local SCSI Target only emulates the adapter port and sure cannot operate in Initiator mode.

Adaptec 39160 is a two-channel SCSI adapter (see Two-channel Adapters on page 72) that is not used in Target mode. Two-channel Adapters Some adapters are designed as two-channel model so they are recognized by OS as two single-channel adapters. Device Manager shows two adapters, their Properties are, for example, PCI slot 2, Bus 1, Function 0 and PCI slot 2, Bus 1, Function 1 (note that the only difference is Function value). For the Scalar DLC it means that it is technically possible to use single two-channel SCSI/FC adapter in both Initiator mode (Channel A / Port 1 - Function 0) to connect to the library medium changer, and in Target mode (Channel B / Port 2 - Function 1) to connect to the SCSI Client host (see Figure 39 on page 73). And of course, such two-channel adapters can be used for two different SCSI Clients, as if these clients were connected to the two different SCSI/FC target adapters, or as two single-channel initiator adapters if required. 72 SCSI/FC Target Drivers Figure 39 Two-channel Adapter used for both library and client The following adapters that Scalar DLC supports in Target mode are two-channel: · QLA 2342 Using FC adapters as Initiators to connect to the library medium changer requires additional setup which is described in Host/Library Communication using Fibre Channel and SNC on page 127. Initiator Driver The Initiator driver can be installed before installing Scalar DLC software of after this operation as well. However, it should be done before installing SCSI Target drivers. For each SCSI adapter found during the Windows setup and/or startup, the operating system usually installs the Initiator mode driver. However, for the newest adapter models, there can be trouble finding an appropriate driver because they are not present in a standard driver library. If such a problem encountered, follow the steps below. Note Follow the instructions only if there is no proper Initiator mode driver(s) present in the system. When everything works, there is no need to re-install the drivers manually. Be sure that you have a manufacturer disk with the appropriate software driver for your adapter, or you have downloaded this driver from the manufacturer's web-site to the temporary folder. ADIC also offers all the required drivers at the <%Scalar DLC Install_CD%>\Drivers\Initiator folder. [. . . ] Set up the web browser(s) according to the corporative security standards. If the email client will be used on the same PC where the Scalar DLC is installed, ensure it is secured too (for example, binary files are not automatically opened, etc. ). Contact the local network administrator for the details. Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Note If the firewall is used to secure the Scalar DLC host, the DAS client software must be installed with the firewall support. Refer to Installing DAS Client on page 65. Antivirus Strategy To ensure the Scalar DLC system remains virus-proof and worm-proof, perform the following security actions. [. . . ]
