2. From the Commands submenu, scroll to Log Out, and then press Enter. Session Completeappears on the LCD. NOTE: You can also press Escape to log out. Continue pressing Escape as required until the main screen appears. Using Cartridges When you first install the autoloader, you load your cartridges into the magazines (see "Manually Operating the Magazine") and then load the magazines into the autoloader.
If you select an empty location, No Source Tape appears on the LCD. Choose a different location. If you select a location that is already occupied, Destination Fullappears on the LCD. Choose a different location. Ejecting a Single Cartridge When you want to remove a single cartridge from the autoloader, you can specify the cartridge you want by bar code or location, or choose the cartridge currently in the tape drive.
Outward Side of a Magazine The autoloader will not run unless both magazine bays are properly occupied with either a magazine or a magazine blank. One way that you can close the openings is to use two magazines. If you use only one magazine, then you must fill the other magazine opening with a magazine blank for the unit to become operational. NOTE: Magazines are not interchangeable between drive types. Order the appropriate part numbers when replacing these items.
so may cause damage to the magazine or the autoloader. Manually Operating the Magazine There are two white thumbwheels, located on each end of the magazine. You can move the slots within the magazine by turning these two white thumbwheels in either direction and aligning a slot with one of the two openings. Do not rotate the magazine by inserting your hand and pushing the cartridge carriers. You can use the openings in the magazine to load and unload cartridges from the eight slots within each magazine.
adhering to the cartridge at any point other than the designated label area. 3. Fully insert the cartridge into the slot. When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you will feel a small resistance (detent) until the cartridge is properly latched into the slot. All forward progress stops when the cartridge is fully inserted. You can remove a cartridge in the same manner as you insert it. Use the white thumbwheels to center the desired slot(s) in the openings on the side of the magazine.
Viewing Firmware Version To view the current firmware version, use the following procedure: 1. From the main menu, scroll to Status, and then press Enter. 2. From the Status submenu, scroll to Autoloader, and then press Enter. 3. From the Autoloader submenu, scroll to Version, and then press Enter. A list of messages appears on the LCD. The firmware version is listed as Firmware: VX.XXwhere X.XXis the current installed version of the firmware. Firmware The number indicates the firmware version.
1. From the main menu, scroll to Status, and then press Enter. 2. From the Status submenu, scroll to Drive, and then press Enter. 3. From the Drive submenu, scroll to Version, and then press Enter. A list of messages appears. These messages may include: Product Type Indicates the type of drive installed. Version Indicates the firmware version of the drive. Viewing Ethernet Information To view the Ethernet information, use the following procedure (also see "IPv6 Addendum"). 1.
Enabling IPv6 Phase 1 The PowerVault 124T autoloader is IPv6 Phase 1 enabled by default. Configuring IPv6 Phase 1 From the Operator Panel: Select Configuration > Ethernet > Set IPv6 Addr From any On Board Remote Management screen: Select Configuration > Networking. At Set IPV6, enter a static Global IPv6 Address and/or IPv6 Gateway address The SNMP Server and Time Server can be configured with either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses at Set Network Configuration.
If you have successfully tested ping6 using scoped link-local addresses, it is possible that you want to use this addresses also for connections to TCP services. Unfortunately, this generally won't work because you cannot set the scope for this address using client programs. Solution: add site-local addresses to your interfaces and use them instead of link-local ones. Reference: http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO-6.

Use of all RMU web pages features requires Java Script to be enabled in the user's web browser. To open the RMU: 1. From your computer, open your Web browser. 2. In the browser's address field, enter the IP address (also see "IPv6 Addendum") for your autoloader (see "Viewing Ethernet Information"). The Home page appears in your browser window. Viewing Status Information RMU Web Interface Status Pane 1. System Status - provides model and serial number (S/N) of both the autoloader and the drive.
4. Administration Lock - provides status regarding RMU security settings. Refer to Client Overlap Control for information on how to configure the Administration Lock. 5. Host Backup Software Lock - provides status regarding Independent Software Vendor (ISV) autoloader and drive lock settings. These settings must typically be changed from within the host backup software application. Refer to your Backup Software Help or User Guide for steps on how to change autoloader and drive lock settings. 6.
To view the compression setting: From any page, click the Configuration heading. The Configuration screen displays.

NOTE: By entering an improper range of IP addresses, a user can possibly lock out all IP clients from administering the autoloader. If this occurs, the user can restore the default values by running Restore Default from the front panel Configuration menu.
NOTE: It is recommended that all firmware updated be performed with image files located on the local system hard drive as opposed to a removable media device or network share. 3. Click Upload. 4. Click OK in response to the confirmation box. The autoloader automatically uploads the new code and processes it to the system. NOTE: A Microsoft issue may keep a user from updating drive or loader firmware over the RMU interface.
3. Specify a loop count, if desired. Valid numbers are 1 to 99. 4. Click Submit. 5. While the test is running, you can view the status of the test. From View Diagnostic Test Progress, click View Status. A separate screen indicates which test is running and the current status of the diagnostic test. 6. To view diagnostic progress click View Status again. Identification You can use the Identification feature of the autoloader by requesting the LCD backlight to flash for a specified number of seconds.
The autoloader automatically runs an inventory whenever you power it on or insert a magazine. If you need to run an inventory in addition to this, you can use the RMU to do it remotely. To run an inventory: 1. From any page, click the Library Operations heading. The Library Operations screen displays. 2. From the Library Operations page, click Inventory. The autoloader starts an inventory immediately.

To configure the Dell PowerVault 124T LTO6 SAS autoloader, you must verify the setup of the following: Magazine(s). Ethernet IP address (if you are not using DHCP). SNMP server IP address—only if SNMP is being used. Time server IP address (or the time zone, date, and time, if configuring manually)—only if a time server is being used. Control mode. Security option. Setting Ethernet Ethernet is the method used by the autoloader to access a network.
A time server, or set the time and time zone manually (optional) Setting the IP Address An IP address is the address of any device attached to a network. Each device must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods ranging from 0.0.0.0 up to and including 255.255.255.255 (also see IPv6 Phase 1 Support). IP addresses are either permanent or dynamically assigned. A permanent, or static, address remains the same each time the device connects to the network.

Errors are problems that occur while operating the autoloader. They prevent the autoloader from completing a specific action. When an error occurs, two things can happen: An error message appears on the Operator Control Panel (OCP) and on the Remote Management Unit (RMU) screen. No error message appears, but the autoloader fails to complete the action. When either of these things occur, the system generates a log of the error.
