Scalar 24 Installation and Operation Guide 25
Removing and Replacing a Drive
Drives can be replaced without powering off the library.
1 Turn the power off to the drive that is being replaced. Refer to Drive Power On/Off
on page 131.
2 Remove the drive that needs to be replaced.
3 Install the new drive. Refer to the instructions in Installing an Additional Drive
on page 23.
4 Turn the power on to the new drive. Refer to Drive Power On/Off
on page 131.
5 Verify that the drive firmware of the new drive matches the firmware on the other drive. Refer to Display
Firmware Version on page 109.
• If the new drive’s firmware does not match the firmware on the other drive, load the appropriate
firmware using a firmware upgrade (FUP) tape. Refer to Load Firmware
on page 122.
• Hosts attached to Scalar 24 SCSI library may require rebooting to properly recognize the library
and drives after a drive replacement.
• If your Scalar 24 is attached to a SAN through an SNC, update the drive mapping, either by
rebooting the SNC or by using the ADIC Management Console (AMC) to reset and rescan the
appropriate SCSI channel. For more information about how to do this, refer to the ADIC
Management Console User’s Guide.
Working with SDLT Drives and Media
Because ADIC does not support multiple SDLT drive generations in a single Scalar 24, if you upgrade one
drive in your SDLT-320 library to SDLT-600, you must also upgrade the other drive if you are using two
drives. Depending on the revision level of your SDLT-320 library, the I/E station may not be functional with
the Super DLTtape II media used in SDLT-600 drives.
• If there is one black lever and one green lever inside the I/E door, the I/E station must be configured
as a data slot. To configure the I/E station as a data slot, refer to Configure I/E Slot
on page 76. In
this case, the Super DLTtape II cartridge is inaccessible from the front, but it can be accessed
normally by the picker. Use the removable magazines behind the main access door to insert or
remove cartridges from the library.
• If there are two green levers inside the I/E door, your I/E station functions normally with Super
DLTtape II media.
Installing the Remote Management Unit
The Remote Management Unit (RMU) allows you to access your Scalar 24 through a Web browser. Follow
the procedure below to install the RMU.
1 Remove the RMU from the packaging.
CAUTION
Stop all backup application services and communication to the
library prior to removing a drive.
