by accessing devices through a LAN infrastructure. For more information on Command View TL, go
to http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl.
Additional advanced SAN security and management features are available via permanent software
licenses. For more information, see the documentation that shipped with the Interface Manager and
Command View TL software kit. Details are also available at http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl.
HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) is a diagnostic utility that can access devices across a
FC infrastructure. For more information on L&TT, go to http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools.
The Interface Manager communicates with the management station over the LAN. The management
station is a Microsoft® Windows-based PC (server) that hosts the Command View TL software. Ideally,
the management station should have a static IP address and be dedicated for use with the Interface
Manager and Command View TL software.
NOTE:

For information on using the Command View TL software, see the
Interface Manager and Command View TL user guide
that shipped with your library or visit
http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl.
Any client machine on the LAN can communicate with the Interface Manager either through the graphical
user interface web interface, or through a Telnet command line interface (CLI). At a higher level, multiple
libraries, each containing an Interface Manager card, can be connected to a single management station.
Each Interface Manager card can communicate with only one management station, but the management
station can communicate with multiple Interface Manager cards (see Figure 13).
