HP Interface Manager and Command View for Tape Libraries 3.7 User Guide

Restoring factory defaults
The Restore Factory Defaults screen provides a way to restore factory default settings for the Interface
Manager card and selected interface controllers. Consider the following when restoring factory
default settings:
• If you reset the Interface Manager card, another dialog box opens for you to choose which
configuration data should be retained and which data should be reset. The following types
of configuration data can be retained:
◦ Network settings (HP recommends retaining network settings if they are already configured
properly)
◦ SNMP settings
◦ Trace and event logs
Selecting the check box causes the corresponding data to be retained. HP recommends that
you back up the Interface Manager card configuration using the Saving the configuration of
the library (page 134) before restoring the Interface Manager card factory defaults.
• The host mapping configuration data of each interface controller is synchronously stored on
both the interface controller and on the Interface Manager card. If you reset an interface
controller, the Interface Manager card restores the mapping configuration to the interface
controller when the interface controller reboots. If you reset all devices, the mapping
configuration is lost and you will have to reconfigure mapping.
NOTE: The library will timeout after 60 minutes if the network settings are not saved. If you do
not save the settings before the session terminates, you will have to remove the library and add it
again.
