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

• Community Name — a string used to match the SNMP management station and device. It
must be set to the same name on both the management station and the library. The default
community name is public.
• SNMP Trap Notification Filter — the types of events for which the device should send SNMP
traps.
• IPv4 or IPv6 Management Station — IP address of the Command View TL management station.
Only one management station can be configured. If both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses are
provided, only the IPv4 address will be used
Configuring HP Systems Insight Manager for the tape library
The library uses the HP NetCitizen MIB, which is supported by HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM)
and many other applications. To detect the tape library using a remote management application,
such as HP SIM, you must first add the IP address for the management system as an SNMP target
using the network configuration. SNMP queries are only accepted from configured targets.
To configure the library for use with HP SIM:
1. From the RMI, add the HP SIM management station as an SNMP target.
2. If the library IP address is in an HP SIM automatic discovery IP address list, the SIM management
station will detect the library at the next scheduled scan.
To configure HP SIM for manual discovery:
1. In the HP SIM toolbar, click Options > Discovery.
2. Click the Manual tab.
3. Enter the library's IP address or system name.
SIM 5.1 will automatically detect the system type and product name.
To manually identify the library with SIM 5.0 and older:
1. In the HP SIM System and Event Collections pane, click Systems by Type.
2. In the Systems by Type pane, click All systems.
3. Click the link with the IP address or name of the tape library.
4. Click the Tools & Links tab.
5. Click Edit System Properties.
6. Set System Type to Tape Library.
7. Enter the Product Model of your tape library.
8. Click OK.
Changing the administrator password
Use the Configuration: Password page to change the administrator password for the RMI and
OCP.
NOTE: You must set the administrator password with the OCP before you can access administrator
functionality in the RMI. For MSL2024, see Changing the administrator password (Configuration
> Change Admin Password) (page 108). For MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096, see Changing
the administrator password (Configuration > Set Admin Password) (page 135).
