Configuring Control Paths
A control path is the connection between a partition and host
application. The control path connection is made through a designated
tape drive.
When you create a partition, the library automatically assigns the first
tape drive in the partition as the control path. You can modify the
control path at any time.
Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path per partition. In
the event that the tape drive control path connection to the host
application fails, you can manually select a different control path tape
drive for the partition.
Note: You might need to modify settings in your host application as a
result of modifying the control path. See your host application
documentation for more information.
You can only configure control paths via the Web client.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Control Path.
2 If more than one partition exists, select a partition and click Next.
3 To select a new control path for the partition, select a tape drive
from the list of tape drives.
4 To delete the control path for the partition, locate the tape drive
that is currently selected as the control path and clear the selection.
5 Click Apply.
6 Save the library configuration (see Saving the Library Configuration
on page 101).
