HP StoreEver Command View for Tape Libraries (CVTL) v. 3.7 and Interface Manager Firmware v I274 Release Notes

• Secure Manager host access is now configured using Access Control Groups for increased
flexibility.
• Users now log in once to the management station, instead of repeatedly logging in each time a
new library is managed.
• New features in Interface Manager firmware version I272
New command to set SNMP traps from the CLI◦
◦ The CLI confirmation prompt can be skipped when mapping or unmapping hosts
◦ When using the CLI's show media or show mgmt log commands, the pause after every 20
items listed in now optional
◦ Updated the internal web server and SSH to newer versions for the Interface Manager.
Because these use more memory than the older versions, if this is running on an original
version Interface Manager board with 128MB RAM, it is highly recommended that the RAM
be upgraded to 256MB RAM (HP part number 464581-001).
◦ Added a force option for CLI commands Map Host and Unmap Host.
◦ Added a no-prompt option for CLI commands Show Media and Show Mgmt Log.
◦ Added a CLI command that adds and removes SNMP traps.

checking was added to prevent invalid entries.

◦ Added encryption status to the overall encryption health, and for each drive.

tickets.

◦ Updated the encryption manager code to the newest version.
