Verifying The Host Connection - Dell EMC ML3 User Manual

Note: When the number of drives in your library are reduced, update the logical library configuration.
This action removes all event notifications that indicate a drive is missing.
Updating the logical library configuration might change the SCSI element addressing.

Verifying the host connection

To verify the connections between the host computer and the library
1. Install the application software and drivers that are compatible with the library. Backup software
packages might require extra software or licensing to communicate with the robotics.
2. Verify the connection between the library and the host by using the host server's operating system
utilities. Or, use the Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) to verify the communication between library and
host. See "The ITDT firmware update, dump retrieval and drive test tool " on page 77.
See "Host connectivity" on page 20 for compatible servers and software.
