7 Con fi guration
This section describes how to con fi gure the VLS network settings, user preferences, FC host ports
(optional), virtual libraries, tape drives, and cartridges. It is comprised of the following topics:
• Setting the network settings
• Setting the user preferences
• Editing the default FC host port settings
• Enabling and disabling oversubscription
• Managing virtual device LUNs
• Creating a virtual library
• Creating tape drives
• Creating cartridges
• Destroying a virtual library
• Destroying a tape drive
• Destroying cartridges
• Adding and removing barcode templates
Setting the network settings
Before you can open a Command View VLS or secure shell session, set the network settings. The network
settings can be set using either the VLS discovery utility (see Setting the network settings using the VLS
discovery utility ) or the CLI command set using the serial user interface (see Setting the network settings
using the CLI command set ).
Setting the network settings using the VLS discovery utility
The VLS discovery utility looks for all the devices on the same subnet as the Windows computer on which
it is running. It then lists the devices and indicates whether they are con fi gured (have an IP address)
or uncon fi gured.
You can use the VLS discovery utility to set the network settings on an uncon fi gured VLS, and to view
the network settings of con fi gured devices. The utility can also be used to remove LUNs from the user
interface after one or more LUNs are no longer con fi gured or have been removed from the VLS.
NOTE:
The VLS discovery utility can only be used to change the network settings on a VLS with no IP address.
Once a VLS has an IP address, either through the DHCP or the VLS discovery utility, its network settings
cannot be changed using the VLS discovery utility. Use the CLI command set or Command View VLS to
change the network settings on a VLS that has an IP address. See Setting the network settings using
the CLI command set .
To set the network settings using the VLS discovery utility:
1. Insert the VLS Documentation CD into the CD drive on a Windows system that is on the same
subnet as the VLS.
The CD auto-launches.
2. Click VLS discovery utility .
The VLS discovery utility opens and lists all the devices it sees on the subnet ( Figure 29 ).
