Dell PowerVault ML6000 Important Information Manual page 11

In addition, when DHCP is disabled, you can specify primary and secondary Domain Name Service (DNS)
servers. DNS is provided for LDAP server name resolution. When LDAP is enabled, the DNS servers provide IP
resolution of fully qualified LDAP domain names. For more information on LDAP, see
Access Protocol on page 8. For information on other network settings, see "Configuring Your Library" in the Dell
PowerVault ML6000 Tape Library User's Guide on the Documentation CD.
Details on DNS configuration include:
• DNS settings are optional.
• DNS servers must be entered as IP addresses in dot notation, for example, 192.168.0.1.
• Text boxes are limited to numeric characters and do not allow values exceeding 255 for dot-separated
values.
NOTE:
For step-by-step DNS configuration instructions, see your library's online Help. To access the online Help
system, click the Help icon at the top right of the Web client or operator panel user interface.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the Web client, select Setup > Network.
• From the operator panel, select Tools > DNS.
Testing Trap Registration
Administrative users can use the Trap Registration tab on the operator panel Network Management screen to
manually register the IP addresses and port numbers of external applications to enable them to receive SNMP
traps from the library. After registering the IP addresses, you can now perform a test to verify that the library
sends the SNMP traps to the external applications.
The Trap Registration tab lists existing IP addresses and the corresponding port numbers. Selecting Test on the
Trap Registration tab verifies that the SNMP traps are sent to all registered IP addresses. While the test is in
progress, the Progress Window appears. If the test is successful, Success appears in the Progress Window and the
traps were successfully sent. If the test is unsuccessful, Failure appears in the Progress Window. Follow the
instructions listed in the Progress Window to resolve any issues that occur during the operation.
This test verifies only that the library has sent SNMP traps to all registered IP addresses. Check the external
applications to verify that the traps were received.
For more information on the network management settings, see "Configuring Your Library" in the Dell
PowerVault ML6000 Tape Library User's Guide on the Documentation CD.
NOTE:
For step-by-step instructions on testing trap registration, see your library's online Help. To access the online
Help system, click the Help icon at the top right of the Web client or operator panel user interface.
Trap Registration cannot be configured or tested from the Web client. The path to open the appropriate screen
is as follows:
From the operator panel, select Setup > Network Mgmt.

Disabling/Enabling Manual Cartridge Assignment
Administrative users can now disable or enable manual cartridge assignment. When manual cartridge
assignment is enabled (the default setting), the Assign IE screen automatically appears on the operator panel
once cartridges are placed into the I/E station. The Assign IE screen prompts the user to assign the cartridges to
a specific partition or to the system partition. The cartridges can then be used only by the assigned partition.
When manual cartridge assignment is disabled, the Assign IE screen does not appear on the operator panel and
the cartridges in the I/E station are visible to all partitions, as well as the system partition, and can be used by any
partition.
You can disable manual cartridge assignment by clearing the Manual Cartridge Assignment check box on the
operator panel System Settings screen. To re-enable the feature, select the Manual Cartridge Assignment check
box.
