Msl Tape Libraries And 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader Remote Management Interface - HP 2000sa Deployment Manual

MSL Tape Libraries and 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader remote management
interface
With the remote management interface (RMI), you can monitor, configure, and operate most Library
or Autoloader functions from a web browser. The RMI is accessed through a browser by entering
the IP address of the Library or Autoloader.
When possible, use the RMI as the primary Library or Autoloader interface because the web
interface provides access to additional features, includes online help, and is easier to use than the
front panel. However, the RMI is not required to use the product, except to configure SNMP, IPv6,
and logical libraries. The only tasks that cannot be performed from the RMI are: opening the
mailslot, initiating the wellness test, saving and restoring files, and downloading firmware via a
USB flash drive.
Before using the RMI, you must configure the device's network and set the administrator password
with the operator control panel (OCP).
TIP: Check the Help screens in the RMI for additional information. The help pages are updated
with most firmware updates and often contain technical details that are not contained in the
documentation. To access RMI help, click Help on the right side of the Web page banner.
For more information about the RMI, see the HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048, and MSL8096
Tape Library user and service guide or the HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader user and
service guide.
As shown in the following image, the System Status pane on the left side of the page shows the
current device and drive status. The System Status pane for the MSL4048 and MSL8096 also
shows the power supply status. Use the tabs in the main window to view the different screens.
Some screens require the administrator password.
