HP StoreEver MSL8048 and MSL8096 Tape Libraries Getting Started (AK382-96027, December 2012)

15 Setting the administrator password
Setting an administrator password provides access to
the administrator functions with the RMI and OCP, and
restricts access to administrator functions to only those
who know the administrator password. The library is
shipped with a null administrator password, which
until set allows unrestricted access to all administrator
functions through the OCP but not the RMI. Once the
administrator password has been set from the OCP,
it can be changed from either the OCP or the RMI.
The administrator password must be exactly eight digits
consisting of the numbers 0 through 9.
To set the administrator password:
1. Use the control keys below the LCD screen to
highlight Configuration > Set Admin Password.
Press OK.
2. Press OK to select the editable block. The Left and
Right control keys allow you to move between the
digits in the password field. Use the Up and Down
control keys to change the value of the highlighted
digit. Press OK to set the value.
16 Configuring the FC ports
HP recommends leaving the Fibre Channel ports at
the default settings of Port Speed: Automatic and Port
Type: Auto Detect. With these settings, the tape drive
will choose the appropriate configuration. See the user
and service guide for instructions on changing the
Fibre Channel configuration.
17 Labeling tape cartridges
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge
enables the library and application software to identify
the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory
time. Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your
tape cartridges.
Ultrium tape cartridges have a recessed area located
on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect
switch. Use this area for attaching the adhesive-backed
bar code label. Only apply labels as designated.
IMPORTANT: The misuse and
misunderstanding of bar code technology can
result in backup and restore failures. To ensure
that your bar codes meet HP quality standards,
always purchase them from an approved
supplier and never print bar code labels
yourself. For more information, refer to the Bar
Code Label Requirements, Compatibility, and
Usage white paper available from:
