Setting The Administrator Password; Labeling Tape Cartridges; Magazine Release - HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Getting Started

12 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.
13 Configuring the FC ports
HP recommends leaving 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 user and service guide
for instructions on changing the FC configuration.

14 Magazine release

When possible, release the magazines from the OCP or RMI. If you must
remove the magazines when the Library is not powered on: 1) insert a
straightened paper clip or small pin about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) into the
magazine release hole, while 2) another person pulls out the magazine
from that side.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force the pin once you encounter resistance. Doing so
can damage the Library.

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 HP quality standards, always purchase them from
an approved supplier and never print bar code labels yourself.
For more information, refer to the Bar Code Label Requirements,
Compatibility, and Usage white paper available from nl http:/
/www.hp.com/support.
Ultrium 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.
