Powering On The Library; Configuring The Network; Setting The Date And Time - Overland Storage NEO 200s Getting Started

The unused ends of a fanout cable are single channel and not suitable
for use with most disk arrays. Use the other ends to connect tape drives,
or coil and secure them to the rack to minimize stress on the connectors.
NOTE:
Each of the tape drives uses one channel and the cable supplied with
the 2U Tape Library or 4U Tape Library maps each of the four
channels from the HBA to one channel on the drive end. You can
plug any of the four drive connectors into any tape drive.

8 Powering on the Library

To use the web-based management interface, plug one end of the
Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the Library. Plug
the other end of the cable into an Ethernet LAN port.
Plug the power cable into the Library from an AC power outlet.
Power on the Library using the power button located on the front panel.
Check the LCD screen to make sure the Library is receiving power.
Power on the host server and all devices you powered off earlier.

9 Configuring the network

Configuring the network enables you to monitor, configure, and control
most Library functions from the remote management interface (RMI).
By default, the Library will request an IP address from a DHCP server.
Optionally, you can configure the Library to use a static IP address.
Once logged into the RMI, you can administer further network changes
through the RMI.
NOTE:
Most IPv4 network configurations are also available through the
OCP.
The Library supports IPv4 and IPv6 Internet Protocols. By default, the
Library is configured to use IPv4, the most common current version.
You can enable IPv6 or both Internet Protocols from the OCP or RMI,
and then continue configuring IPv6 settings from the RMI.
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.
To find the IPv4 IP address obtained via DHCP:
1. From the Home screen, press Next until the display shows
Status/Information. Press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Network Information. Press
Enter.
3. The display shows IPv4 Network Enabled. Press Enter.
4. Press Next until the display shows the IP address.
5. Press Cancel until the display shows the home screen.
To set the IPv4 IP address or enable IPv6:
1. From the Home screen, press Next until the display shows
Configuration. Press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Configure Network
Settings. Press Enter.
3. The display shows IPv4 Network Enabled. To change the
setting, press Enter. Press Next until the display shows the desired
setting. Press Enter to accept the new setting.
4. Press Next until the display shows IPv6 Networking. To enable
IPv6 networking, press Enter. The display shows IPv6 Network
Disabled. To change the setting, press Enter. Press Next until
the display shows the desired setting. Press Enter to accept the
new setting.
If IPv4 networking is enabled, you can continue configuring the IPv4
network settings from the OCP:
1. From the Home screen, press Next until the display shows
Configuration. Press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Configure Network
Settings. Press Enter.
3. Press Next until the display shows IPv4 Networking. Press
Enter.
4. Press Next until the display shows DHCP (IPv4) Enabled. To
change the setting, press Enter. Press Next until the screen displays
the desired setting. Press Enter to accept the new setting.
5. If DHCPv4 is disabled, press Next to display the IP address.
To change the IP address, press Enter. Set the new IP address with
the Next and Enter keys.
6. Press Next to display the subnet mask. To change the subnet mask,
press Enter. Set the new subnet mask with the Next and Enter
keys.
7. Press Next to display the gateway address. To change the gateway
address, press Enter. Set the new subnet address with the Next
and Enter keys.
If you enabled IPv6, you must continue configuring IPv6 from the RMI
after setting the administrator password in Step 11. You can find the
IPv6 IP address obtained by the Library from the OCP
Information/Status > Network Information menu item. See
the 2U Tape Library and 4U Tape Library user and service guide included
in the product documentation for additional information on configuring
IPv6.

10 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.
