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. Operator Control Panel - provides an "OCP mirror," showing text currently displayed on the
operator control panel.
Status information appears on the right-hand side of the Home page and every page of the RMU except
for the Firmware page. The status information is updated automatically every 10 seconds. Changes to the
status appear in the status window update, but may take approximately 10 seconds to refresh. You can
also click Refresh Status to get an immediate update of the system.
The menu headings also appear at the top of every page. To access the functionality under the menu
heading, click the specific menu heading. The first time that you connect, the RMU prompts you for your
username and password, then displays the opening page for that menu.
Depending on your screen resolution settings, you may have to scroll to see all status info.
Time Display
The time displayed is either regular time or power-on time. Regular time is Month/Date/Year time, such as
Nov/21/2004 19:28. Power-on time is Power On Cycles (POC)/Pow er On Hours (POH), such as POC:00121,
POH:00002:07:45.
POC (5-digit number) is the number of times the system has booted since it was manufactured.
POH is the number of hours, minutes, and seconds that the system has been on since the current
boot occurred.
Feedback on Pages
If there is feedback from the system when you submit a request, the feedback appears beneath the
Submit button. In some cases, you may have to scroll to see the feedback information.
Configuration Page
The Configuration page includes a submenu on the left-hand side of the page. You can set the System
Operations, Networking, and Security options from this page.
System Operations Options
The options listed under System Operations include Compression, Barcode Reader, Cleaning Tape,
Magazines, and System Time.
Compression
For the Dell Pow erVault 124T LTO6 SAS autoloader, data compression is drive-dependent. The front panel
and the RMU will display whether or not compression is enabled.
Compressing the data means that the drive can write more data to the same amount of tape.
Compression also increases the performance of the data transfers.
NOTE: Compression cannot be changed from the front panel or the RMU of the autoloader.
