HP StoreEver MSL2024, MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries User and Service Guide (AK378-96059, December 2012)

Administrator password
TIP: By default, the administrator password is unset; all of the digits are null. You must set the
administrator password from the OCP to protect the administrator functions on the OCP and enable
the administrator functions in the RMI.
The administrator password grants access to all OCP functions except HP Service. A user without
knowledge of the administrator password can access:
• Info: Status, Identity Library, Identity Drives, Inventory, and Network
• Configuration: Display Contrast
• Operations: Open Mailslots, Inventory, and Enable Password Locks
All other Configuration, Operations, and Support options are locked.
After five minutes of inactivity, the OCP returns to the splash screen. To access password-protected
tasks, you must reenter the administrator password.
The administrator password is originally null. HP strongly recommends that you assign a password
during the installation process, see “Changing the administrator password (Configuration > Set
Admin Password)” (page 135). You will not be able to access the administrator functions of the tape
library from the remote management interface (RMI) until the administrator password is set.
Screens that require entry of a password are indicated by a padlock icon on the menu list and
prompt the user to enter the password before allowing access to the restricted screens. Once
entered, the administrator password does not need to be entered a second time unless there is no
user activity for five minutes or unless the password locks are re-enabled.
Passwords must be exactly eight digits consisting of the numbers 0 through 9.
To enter a password when prompted, do the following:
1. The left most digit of the password will be highlighted; each non-highlighted digit will appear
as an X. Use the Up and Down buttons until the correct digit is displayed. Use the
Left and Right buttons to select the other digits and use the Up and Down buttons to
alter the values.
2. Press OK to submit the password. The screen continues to the restricted area.
NOTE: If you forget the administrator password, you cannot enter a new password. You
must call your customer service representative.
Illustrated menu option and navigation examples
The following examples illustrate how to use the menu options and navigation buttons to open
mailslots and to move media. Subsequent menu options described in this chapter do not include
step-by-step instructions.
Opening mailslots (Operations > Open Mailslots)
The mailslots are used only with host system software that supports this feature. The mailslot feature
allows you to insert or remove up to three tapes for the MSL4048 and MSL8084, or up to 15 tapes
for the MSL8096.
Left magazines are available without mailslots, with one mailslot, or with three mailslots. The
MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries are shipped with the 3-mailslot magazine on
the lower left side. Mailslot-capable left magazines are marked with a white dot on the lower right
corner that aligns with a white dot on the front bezel, as shown in “Mailslot-capable magazine
and slot, each marked with a white dot” (page 128). Placing a mailslot magazine in any location
other than the lower-left location will result in the magazine being treated as a magazine with no
mailslots.
