Chapter 12 Installing, Removing, and Replacing

Adding, Removing, and Replacing FC I/O Blades

Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 363

4 Remove the control path from tape drives that you plan to connect to

an FC I/O blade. You must not allow an FC tape drive to serve as

control path if it is connected to an FC I/O blade. If you do, the

control path will be filtered out by the I/O blade and will not be

visible to the host. If a Fibre Channel tape drive is currently serving

as the control path for a partition and you plan to connect that tape

drive to an FC I/O blade, you must remove the control path from that

tape drive. To remove the control path from a tape drive:

a Select Setup > Control Path from the operator panel or the Web

client.

b If you have more than one partition, select the appropriate

partition and click Next.

c Clear the control path selection on any FC tape drive that you

plan to connect to an FC I/O blade.

5 Add or replace the fan blade(s) following the instructions in Adding,

Removing, and Replacing the FC I/O Fan Blade on page 370. The fan

blade is required to prevent overheating of the FC I/O blade.

6 Add or replace the FC I/O blade(s) following the instructions in

Adding an FC I/O Blade on page 364 or Replacing an FC I/O Blade

on page 369. If you are installing two FC I/O blades in an expansion

module, install the lower one first.

7 Make sure cover plates are installed over any unused bays in the 9U

Library Expansion Module.

8 Connect the library and tape drive cables to the FC I/O blade (see

Figure 29 on page 231). See also Recommended Library Cabling for

FC I/O Blades on page 234.

9 Configure/reconfigure library partitions if needed (from the Web

client, select Setup > Partitions).

10 Configure control paths if needed. The library assigns control paths

for new partitions when they are created. Ensure that each partition

has only one control path. Ensure that you do not select an FC tape

drive as the control path if it is connected to an FC I/O blade. See

Working With Control Paths on page 86 for more important

information about control paths. To modify the control path, select

Setup > Control Path from the operator panel or Web client.

11 Configure host mapping (optional). If you have more than one FC

I/O blade in the library, each FC I/O blade will present each

partition that does not have a tape drive as the control path as a target
