4.1 Firmware Configuration

For Procom servers with 4.1 firmware, you must specify the logical device names in the configuration file. You can determine these names from the System Log, accessible through the web-based interface.

Example: System Log for Procom Servers with 4.1 Firmware

The following example shows sample lines from this log:

1/09 12:27 | robotape isp1?061 type=8 desc=’HP C1557A ‘
1/09 12:27 | tape isp1t060 ‘HP C1557A ‘

The line with the word robotape indicates a tape library unit—not a regular tape device. Use the word after robotape to determine the logical device name for the tape library unit. In the example, it is isp1?061. To obtain the logical device name for the tape library unit, replace the ? with r. Therefore, the logical device name is isp1r061.

The line with the word tape indicates a tape drive connected to the Procom server. The word after tape (isp1t060 in this example) is the logical device name for the tape drive. There may be multiple entries in the log containing the word tape, if multiple tape drives were detected. In this situation, the log will contain one line for each detected tape drive.
