Configuring Your Library
addressing of the internal network could conflict with your network, potentially causing the library to become confused. When
installing the PowerVault ML6000 library, make sure that the external network setting is different from the internal network
setting on the library. If DHCP is enabled or you do not know what your external network setting is, check with your network
administrator.
From the operator panel, administrators can change the setting of the internal network using the Internal Network
Configuration screen. Select the new internal IP address from the list on the screen. You can select from nine IP addresses.
The Internal Network Configuration screen is only accessible from the operator panel. The path to open the appropriate
screen is as follows:
•
From the operator panel, select Tools > Internal Network.
Configuring System Settings
You can use the System Settings screen to configure the following system-wide settings:
User Session Timeout (minutes) — The library automatically logs out a user or administrator when the library has
•
detected no activity for a specified length of time. You can adjust the user session timeout by entering a numeric
value in the User session timeout (minutes) text box. Valid user session timeout values are 15 minutes to 480
minutes. You can change this setting from either the operator panel or the Web client. When you change the setting
on the operator panel, the Web client is updated at the same time, and vice versa.
Touch Screen Audio — Allows you to enable or disable the beep sound that occurs each time you press a button on
•
the operator panel. The Touch screen audio setting is enabled by default.
•
Unload Assist — Allows you to specify whether the library should automatically eject cartridges from tape drives.
When the setting is enabled, the library will assist with tape drive unload operations in the event that a tape drive is
not unloaded by a host command. When the setting is disabled, the library will not assist with tape drive unload
operations and reject a move request from a tape drive, if the cartridge is not already unloaded. The Unload Assist
setting is enabled by default.
•
Logical SN Addressing — Enables the library to assign logical serial numbers to all tape drives in the library.
Specifically, the library assigns a logical serial number to a tape drive in a specific location, not the actual serial
number of the particular tape drive. If the tape drive is then replaced by another tape drive in the same library
location, the logical serial number remains the same. From the host application's perspective, the replacement tape
drive is the same as the original. The Logical SN Addressing setting is enabled by default.
Caution:
If you change the logical serial number addressing setting, you must power cycle the library (perform
a shutdown and press the power button) or remove power from each tape drive for the change to take effect.
•
Manual Cartridge Assignment — Administrators can 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 use the operator
panel to assign the cartridges to a specific partition or to the system partition. The cartridges can then be used only
by the assigned partition.
For more information on manual cartridge assignment, see
•
Disable Remote Service User — For security purposes, prevents a service user from logging in to the library
remotely, from either the Web client or over the Ethernet service port. The service user will still be able to log in to
the library from the operator panel interface. This option is disabled by default.
•
Enable SSL — Allows you to enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for secure data transmission between the library and
remote clients. This option is disabled by default.
•
Enable SNMP V1/V2 — Allows you to enable or disable support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) V1
and V2c. This option is disabled by default.
Note:
SNMP v3 is always enabled. For more information on SNMP, see
Library.
•
Enable IPv6 — Allows you to enable or disable support for IPv6 addresses. This option is disabled by default.
•
Enable SMI-S — Allows you to enable or disable SMI-S running on the library. This setting is disabled by default.
Note:
This setting differs from enabling/disabling the SMI-S port in the Tools > Security menu (see
Configuring Library Security
•
Unlabeled Media Detection — At bootup and other times the library performs an inventory of all slots and media. If
