Setting The Date And Time; Labeling Tape Cartridges; Setting The Administrator Password - Sun Microsystems Oracle StorageTek SL48 Getting Started

NOTE:
The Library is shipped without an administrator password. You must
set the administrator password initially using the OCP before you
can use the RMI administrator functions. Once the administrator
password is set, you can access the RMI administrator functions by
providing the administrator password on the login screen.
The IPv4 address obtained from a DHCP server is displayed in the
OCP home screen and the Info > Network option.
If your organization requires a static IPv4 address or uses IPv6, you
can configure those features from within the Info > Network option.
If you enabled IPv6, you must continue configuring IPv6 from the RMI
after setting the administrator password in Step 12. See the StorageTek
SL24 Tape Autoloader and SL48 Tape Library User and service guide
included in the product documentation for additional information on
configuring IPv6.

12 Setting the date and time

This option sets the date and time used by the Library to record events
and should be set during the initial installation process. You can also
set the date and time from the RMI Configure: System screen.
To set the date and time from the OCP:
1. On the front panel, highlight Configuration > Set Date and Time.
Press OK.
2. Press OK to select the first block that can be edited. Use the Left
and Right control keys to move between digits in the Date and
Time fields. Use the Up and Down control keys to change the
value of the highlighted digit. When the screen shows the desired
value, press OK.
NOTE:
When setting the hours, the time is based on a 24-hour clock. There
is no a.m. or p.m. designation. For example, 1:00 p.m. is 13:00.
NOTE:
The Library time does not automatically adjust for daylight saving
time; you must adjust the time manually through the OCP or RMI.

13 Setting the administrator password

Setting an administrator password provides access to the administrator
functions with the RMI and OCP, and restricts access to administrator
functions to only those who know the administrator password. The
Library comes with a null administrator password, which until set allows
unrestricted access to all administrative functions through the OCP but
not the RMI. Once the administrator password has been set from the
OCP, it can be changed from either the OCP or the RMI. The
administrator password must be exactly eight digits consisting of the
numbers 0 through 9.
To set the administrator password:
1. On the OCP, press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Configuration. Press Enter.
3. Press Enter to change the administrator password.
4. The first number will flash. Press Next until the first number for
the new password is displayed. Press Enter to accept the number.
The next number flashes. Repeat for each number in the password.
5. Press Cancel twice to move to the top of the menu.
14 Configuring the FC ports
For most situations, leave the FC ports at the default settings of Port
Speed: Automatic and Port Type: Auto Detect. With these settings,
the tape drive will choose the appropriate configuration. See the
StorageTek SL24 Tape Autoloader and StorageTek SL48 Tape Library
User and service guide on the documentation CD for instructions on
changing the FC configuration.

15 Labeling tape cartridges

Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the Library
and application software to identify the cartridge quickly, thereby
speeding up inventory time. Make it a practice to use bar code labels
on your tape cartridges.
IMPORTANT:
The misuse and misunderstanding of bar code technology can result
in backup and restore failures. To ensure that your bar codes meet
quality standards, always purchase them from an approved supplier
and never print bar code labels yourself.
LTO tape cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the
cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Use only this recessed area
for attaching the adhesive-backed bar code label. Only apply labels as
designated.
