Working with Control Path Failover (CPF)
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 113
Required Firmware To use all the features of Advanced Reporting, you should install the
latest released version of library firmware on your library. For
information on installing library firmware, see
Updating Library
Firmware on page 299.
Working with Control Path Failover (CPF)
If an HP LTO-5 FC tape drive is the control path for a partition, you can
select another HP LTO-5 FC tape drive in that partition for control path
failover. This means that if the control path tape drive fails, the failover
tape drive becomes the control path for the partition. The failed-over
tape drive remains the control path for the partition unless it fails or the
library is restarted. When either of these events occurs, the library starts
over and attempts to use the original control path tape drive as the
control path, and the original failover tape drive for failover.
The control path and failover tape drives are assigned by location in the
library, so even if you replace a tape drive with another HP LTO-5 FC tape
drive, the library will still fail over or revert to the specified location.
Prerequisites To configure control path failover, you must have the following setup on
your library:
• Advanced Reporting License. Refer to Adding or Upgrading
Licensable Features on page 69.
• The control path and failover tape drives must both be HP LTO-5 FC
tape drives, and you must have a minimum of two drives in a single
partition.
• The control path and failover tape drives must have their topology
configured as Point to Point. Refer to
Configuring Tape Drive
Parameters on page 65.
• The control path and failover tape drives must be connected to an
NPIV-enabled switch on the same fabric. They must not be
connected to an FC I/O blade.
