HP EML E-series Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 52)

Table 6 Configuration screen functions
Function Description
Library Configuration
Allows the following items to be configured:
• Change Password—The library ships with a null password.
Passwords must be set to exactly eight characters, consisting of the
numbers 0 through 9 and the period character. If you forget your
password, contact HP support. HP support can generate a temporary
password that will allow you to access the library.
• Configure Load Ports—This GUI shows the number of installed load
ports and enables you to toggle between using each as a load
port or for tape slots. Configure it as a Load Port to move tapes in
and out of the library. Configure as Slots to increase the number
of storage slots in the library. Changing a load port configuration
causes a library reboot.
• Change Network Settings—This configures the network settings for
the Interface Manager card, which can be automatically set with
DHCP (the default), or manually with a static IP address. Use the
Address Config: button to toggle between these two options. If you
are manually setting the network addresses, select each address
element separately to set the network configuration.
• Configure Barcode Reporting Formats—This defines how bar codes
are displayed on the OCP and sent to the host. Bar code reporting
can be configured as 6 to 8 characters and left or right aligned. If 6
characters with left alignment is chosen, any characters after the six
are truncated. With 6 characters and right alignment, only the last
six characters are shown with the beginning characters truncated.
• Configure Reserve Slots—Up to nine slots can be reserved for special
purposes, such as cleaning tapes. The default is none. Select the
number you want to reserve and select Save.
NOTE:
Reserve slots are not available on the EML 71e.
• Configure Inventory Mode—This allows you to require bar codes on
tape cartridges, or to make them optional. Requiring bar codes
significantly shortens inventory time.
Adjust Screen Contrast
Use the up and down arrows to adjust the screen contrast. The screen
refreshes each time an arrow is pressed. Select the OK button when
finished.
Operations screen
The Operations screen provides access to screens that allow you to unlock load ports, unlock the library
door, reboot the library, move tapes, clean tape drives, and run administrative tests.
