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

Using the operator control panel (OCP)
The OCP has a power button, four LEDs, four control keys, and a 2-line
by 16-character LCD screen. With the OCP, you can monitor, configure,
and operate most Library functions from the Library front panel.
See “OCP menu” on page 12 for more information.
Control keys
The OCP displays a menu that lets you access information and execute
commands using the four control keys.
Cancel — Cancels the current menu option, returns to the previous menu
level, or returns to the Home screen.
Enter — Executes the current menu or selects the current option displayed
on the LCD screen.
Previous — Selects the previous item or value in the currently displayed
menu.
Next — Selects the next item or value in the currently displayed menu.
LED indicators
The OCP has four LEDs that provide information.
Ready — Green, steady when power is on, blinking with tape drive or
Library robotics activity.
Clean — Amber when a tape drive cleaning operation is recommended.
Attention — Amber if the Library has detected a condition that user
attention is necessary, but that the device can still perform most
operations.
Error — Amber if an unrecoverable tape drive or Library error occurs.
A corresponding error message displays on the LCD screen. User
intervention is required; the device is not capable of performing some
operations.
Using the remote management interface
(RMI)
With the RMI, you can monitor, configure, and operate most Library
functions from a web browser.
HP recommends that, when possible, the RMI be used as the primary
Library interface because the web interface provides access to additional
features, includes online help, and is easier to use. However, the RMI
is not required to use the product, except to configure SNMP, IPv6, and
logical libraries. The only tasks you cannot do from the RMI are:
• Opening the mailslots.
• Initiating the Wellness test.
• Saving and restoring configuration files, saving support tickets, and
downloading firmware via a USB flash drive.
To enable the RMI, follow the instructions in this document to:
• Connect the Library to your local area network with an Ethernet cable.
• Configure the network settings of the Library.
• If you intend to use the administrative functions of the RMI, set the
Administrator password using the OCP.
NOTE:
The Library is shipped without an administrator password. You
must set the administrator password with the OCP before you
can use the RMI administrator functions. Once the administrator
password is set, you can access the RMI by providing the
administrator password on the login screen.
Logging in
Using the OCP, find the Library IP address from the Info > Network
screen. Open any HTML web browser and enter the Library IP address.
Select the account type. For the administrator account, you must also
enter the administrator password. Click Sign In.
Once signed in, click Help in the upper right-hand corner for more
information about the fields and information in the RMI.
Status icons
The green Status OK icon indicates that the Library is
fully operational and that no user interaction is required.
The blue exclamation point Status Warning icon indicates
that user attention is necessary, but that the device can
still perform most operations.
The red X Status Error icon indicates that user intervention
is required and that the device is not capable of
performing some operations.
