Use the Setup Drive IDs screen to select the interface type of the tape drive that requires a tape drive ID change. Modifying a drive ID allows you to change the way tape drives appear to the host application. All host applications that view the tape drive will see the same ID associated with the tape drive.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) tape drives do not appear on the Setup Drive IDs screen because you do not need to configure SAS tape drive parameters. A SAS tape drive's SAS address is automatically and uniquely generated based on a unique World Wide Node Name (WWNN) that the drive receives when it is configured.

To select a tape drive interface type:

    1. Do one of the following:
      • If you need to modify the Loop ID of a Fibre Channel tape drive, select Fibre.
      • If you need to modify the SCSI ID of a SCSI tape drive, select SCSI.
    2. Select Apply.

Note: At any time, select Cancel to exit the Setup Drive IDs screen.
