STORAGEEXPRESS: LOADING THE NMS OPTION KIT TAPE WITH A DAT AUTOCHANGER
Symptom:
The tape provided in the NMS Option Kit does not load properly in a DAT
autochanger drive when the autochanger is configured as SCSI drive 1
(Changer 1).
Solution:
Replace the procedure on page 13 of the NMS Option Kit Setup Guide with
the following:
1. From Central Console at the management workstation, connect to the
StorageExpress system.
2. At the Central Console window, choose Utilities, then choose Reboot
or Shut Down.
3. If your StorageExpress software is v1.4 or 1.3:
a. Choose Shutdown, then Reboot into Maintenance Mode. Then click
on the Shut Down button.
b. Go to the StorageExpress system. Proceed with step 4 when the
control unit LCD reads, "Waiting for remote connection. Press any
key to select Local Maintenance Mode."
If your StorageExpress software is v1.5 or later:
a. Choose Shutdown, then Reboot into Maintenance Mode. Then click
on the Shut Down button.
b. Go to the StorageExpress system. Proceed with step 4 when the
control unit LCD displays the Maintenance Mode Menu.
4. At the StorageExpress system, press the Eject button on the
autochanger to eject the tape magazine.
5. Insert the option kit tape into slot 1 of the magazine and insert
the magazine into the autochanger.
6. When "Mag Loaded" appears on the autochanger's LCD, press the Tape
Select button until slot 1 is selected.
7. Press the Tape Load button on the autochanger and wait until the
autochanger's LCD flashes "Ready" and "Read Only."
8. If your StorageExpress software is v1.5 or later, skip to step 9.
If your StorageExpress software is v1.4 or 1.3, press any button on
the StorageExpress control unit to continue booting into
Maintenance Mode.
9. At the control unit's Maintenance Mode Menu, choose Configure Boot
Options, then choose Set to NetWare Mode.
10.Choose OK when the LCD prompts, "Boot into NetWare Mode Now?"
While booting into NetWare mode, the StorageExpress system loads
the NMS software from the NMS Option Kit tape onto its hard disk.
(This can take several minutes.)
11.When the LCD screen reads "StorageExpress system is ready," press
the Eject button on the autochanger to eject the magazine. Remove
the NMS Option Kit tape and store it in a safe place.
The NMS files are now installed on your StorageExpress system and the
server portion of NMS (NetExplorer.NLM) is running.
To install the NMS console software on your management workstation,
refer to page 14 of the NMS Option Kit Setup Guide.
