HP StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Library E-Series Getting Started (AD560-96030, September 2007)

• Configuration > Library Configuration > Configure
Load Ports
This command shows the number of installed load
ports and enables you to toggle between using each
for import/export or for storage. Configure it as a
load port to move tapes in and out of the library.
Configure it as slots to increase the number of
storage slots in the library. Changing a load port
configuration will cause a library reboot.
• Configuration > Library Configuration > Change
Network Settings
This configures the network settings for the Interface
Manager card, which can be set automatically using
DHCP (the default) or manually using a static IP
address. Use the Address Config: button to toggle
between these two options. If you are setting the
network addresses manually, set each address
element separately.
• Configuration > Library Configuration > Configure
Barcode Reporting Formats
This command defines how bar codes are displayed
on the OCP and sent to the host. Bar code reporting
can be configured as six to eight characters and left
or right aligned. If you choose six characters with left
alignment, any characters after the six are truncated.
If you choose six characters and right alignment, only
the last six characters are shown with the beginning
characters truncated.
• Configuration > Library Configuration > 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 press Save.
• Configuration > Library Configuration > Configure
Inventory Mode
This command allows you to require bar codes on
tape cartridges, or to make them optional. Requiring
bar codes significantly shortens inventory time.
