HP StoreEver MSL4048 Getting Started Manual page 8

When possible, use the RMI as the primary library interface because the web interface provides
access to additional features, includes online help, and is easier to use. However, the RMI is not
required to use the library, except to configure advanced features, such as SNMP, IPv6,
encryption, LTFS, HPE TapeAssure, logical libraries, and path failover.
The only tasks you cannot do from the RMI are:
Opening the mailslots.
Initiating the Wellness test.
Saving and restoring configuration files, saving support tickets, and downloading firmware
via a USB flash drive.
To enable the library RMI, follow the instructions in this document to:
Connect the library to the local area network with an Ethernet cable.
Configure the library addressing.
If you intend to use the administrative functions of the RMI, set the Administrator password
using the OCP.
NOTE: The library is shipped without an administrator password. You must set the administrator
password with the OCP before you can use the RMI administrator functions. Once the
administrator password is set, you can access the RMI by providing the administrator password
on the login screen.
Logging in
Using the OCP, find the library IP address from the Info > Network screen. Open any HTML
web browser and enter the library IP address. Select the account type. For the administrator
account, you must also enter the administrator password. Click Sign In.
Once signed in, click Help in the upper right-hand corner for more information about the fields
and information in the RMI.
Status icons
The green check mark Status OK icon indicates that the library is fully operational and that no user
interaction is required.
The blue exclamation point Status Warning icon indicates that user attention is necessary, but that the
library can still perform most operations.
The red X Status Error icon indicates that user intervention is required and that the library is not capable
of performing some operations.
