Using the operator control panel (OCP)

The OCP has a power button, four LEDs, five control keys, and an LCD
screen. With the OCP, you can monitor, configure, and operate most
Library functions from the Library front panel.
See "OCP menu" on page 12 for more information.
Control keys
The OCP displays a menu that lets you access information and execute
commands using the five control keys: Up, Down, Left, Right, and
OK.
LED indicators
The OCP has four LEDs that provide information.
Ready— Green, steady when power is on, blinking with tape drive or
Autoloader robotics activity.
Clean — Amber when a tape drive cleaning operation is recommended.
Attention — Amber if the Library has detected a condition that user
attention is necessary, but that the device can still perform most
operations.
Error— Amber if an unrecoverable tape drive or Autoloader error
occurs. A corresponding error message displays on the LCD screen.
User intervention is required; the device is not capable of performing
some operations.
Using the remote management interface
(RMI)
With the RMI, you can monitor, configure, and operate most Library
functions from a web browser.
It is recommended that, when possible, the RMI be used 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 product, except to configure SNMP,
IPv6, and logical libraries. The only tasks you cannot do from the RMI
are:
Opening the mailslots.
Initiating the Wellness test.
Saving and restoring configuration files and downloading firmware
via a USB flash drive.
To enable the Library RMI, follow the instructions in this document to:
Connect the Library to your local area network with an Ethernet
cable.
Configure the network settings of the Library.
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 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 device can still
perform most operations.
The red X Status Error icon indicates that user intervention
is required and that the device is not capable of performing
some operations.
