Complete the Procedure Overview Drives can be daisy‐chained together to add multiple drives to a partition. If your library configuration includes direct‐attach SCSI drives and you plan to daisy‐chain two or more drives in a DBA on a single SCSI bus, you must connect the drives and the bus expansion module before you begin configuring partitions. Read the individual User Guides to learn more about the bus expansion module and the role it plays in the library. Note: Do not connect the bus

Connecting the Cables Two SCSI Bus Configuration Figure14 illustrates daisy chaining the four drives in a DBA on two separate SCSI buses and connecting them to two hosts. This type of cabling is used when multiple hosts will be sharing the library resources. The library is typically divided into partitions, as described in the library’s User Guide. Each partition is dedicated to a different host. Note: Always make sure that the SCSI bus is terminated by installing a terminator either on

Complete the Procedure Connect the SCSI Cables Determine which drives in the DBA you want to daisy‐chain on the same SCSI bus, then follow these steps to connect the drives to each other: 1. Remove the SCSI terminator from each drive (see Figure15). Terminator Figure 15 The SCSI terminator on a SCSI drive sled. 2. Refer to the cabling examples on page18 and page19, then use SCSI cables to connect the drives together, as appropriate for your desired configuration. Use the shortest possible cab
