Note: If the libraries are in a multiple stack configuration, mount the Ethernet switch directly above the top-most library. 1 Refer to the Ethernet switch installation documentation to install the switch into the rack. 2 Connect the following Ethernet cables: · · One Ethernet cable from the right port on each library SCB to the Ethernet switch. One Ethernet cable from each TC2201 to the Ethernet switch. 3 Secure the Ethernet cables with cable clamps and tie bands as needed (see figure 12 for unstacked configurations and figure 13 for stacked configurations). Note: The Ethernet switch shown in the following figures (figure 12 and figure 13) is only an example.

SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the second TC2201 are used to connect to tape drives 2 through 3, if present. SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the third TC2201 are used to connect tape drives 4 through 5, if present. SCSI connectors 0 through 1 on the fourth TC2201 are used to connect tape drives 6 through 7, if present. Configuring the TC2201 consists of the following steps: · · · Accessing the TC2201 Bridge Configuring the TC2201 Bridge Saving the Configuration File Accessing the TC2201 Bridge To configure the TC2201 bridge: 1 Open a web browser on the service PC. 2 In the Address field, type http://IPaddress/ where IP address is the IP address for the PX500 Series library (refer to the Quantum PX500 Series User's Guide PN 81-81290-01 for information on the PX500 Series remote management web pages). 0 18 TC2201 Upgrade Procedure Quantum PX500 Series TC2201 Upgrade Instructions 81-81538-01 A01 December 2005 3 Select the iSCSI Bridge tab from the Setup page on the PX500 Series remote management web pages. 4 Select the TC2201 bridge you want to configure. The TC2201 Home Page screen displays (see figure 15). Figure 15 TC2201 Home Screen Main menu Configuring the TC2201 Bridge To configure the TC2201 bridge and map the tape drives to the iSCSI ports: 1 From the Home screen, click Ethernet from the main menu.

The Discovery screen displays (see figure 17). Figure 17 Discovery Screen Discovery Go 3 Click Go to discover all attached devices. The SCSI Bus screen displays (see figure 18). 20 TC2201 Upgrade Procedure Quantum PX500 Series TC2201 Upgrade Instructions 81-81538-01 A01 December 2005 Figure 18 SCSI Bus Screen SCSI ID 7 is the default SCSI Initiator ID for each of the TC2201's SCSI buses. If any devices attached to a TC2201 bus are using SCSI ID 7, then that bus's Initiator ID must be changed. To change a bus's Initiator ID: Select the desired bus from the TC2201 GUI or the SCSI Bus submenu. Then use the Initiator ID field drop-down list to select an unused ID number. Click the Submit button to record the change. If the TC2201 does not see all of the devices expected, check that the initiator ID(s) are set to a unique value for each bus attached to devices. For any changes, submit those changes and reboot the TC2201. [. . . ] 5 To download a file, click Get from Rtr.

This capability is used ONLY when multiple libraries are together in a rack. This allows each library SCB to assign IP addresses to only the TC2201s within the library and not TC2201s in other libraries For example, if stacked libraries are in a rack, three independent zones must be created.
