HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Tape Library getting started (AK378-96028, March 2010)

16 Loading cartridges
Use the front panel Operations > Unlock Left Magazine option to release
the left magazine. Pull the magazine straight out of the front of the
Library. If requested, provide the administrator password to access the
magazines.
Insert the tape cartridges into the slots. By default, the slots are numbered
1 to 24, starting with the bottom front left slot.
To use the mailslot feature, leave the bottom slot in the front of the left
magazine empty. The rest of the slot numbers are adjusted as shown.
NOTE:
When the mailslot is disabled, the mailslot becomes slot 1 and
all other slots are renumbered.
Replace the magazines in the Library.
Repeat for the right magazines. The right magazines do not have a
mailslot.
17 Verifying the installation
Verify that the Library has the current firmware revision, and update to
the latest firmware if necessary.
To find the version of firmware installed on the Library, see the RMI
Support: Firmware screen, or from the OCP:
1. From the Home screen, press Next until the display shows Status/
Information. Press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Library Information. Press
Enter.
3. Press Next until the display shows the Firmware Rev.
4. Press Cancel until the display shows the home screen.
To find the current firmware revision, visit the http://www.hp.com/
support website and download the firmware files.
If necessary, update the firmware from the RMI Support: Firmware screen
or HP StorageWorks Library & Tape Tools (L&TT).
You can use L&TT to verify the installation. L&TT is especially useful for
checking the drives and HBA settings on your server, viewing connectivity
to your host, downloading firmware, and running diagnostics on the
Library and tape drives.
You can download the latest L&TT from
nl
http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools.
After configuring the Library, you can save the configuration database
to a USB flash drive from the OCP or to a file from the RMI Configuration
> Save/Restore screen. Having a backup of the Library configuration is
helpful when recovering from a configuration error, setting up multiple
Libraries with similar configurations, or if the Library needs service.
