Configuring the Library

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the library using the Library Management 
Console (LMC). The information in this chapter includes:

•

Addressing Configuration Prerequisites

 on page 153

•

Logging on to the Library

 on page 154

•

Performing Basic Configuration

 on page 156

•

Performing Advanced Configuration

 on page 163

•

Working with Library Control Paths

 on page 180

•

Creating Partitions

 on page 182

•

Putting Physical Library and Partitions Online

 on page 220

•

Configuring Drive Cleaning

 on page 223

•

Saving the Library Configuration

 on page 228

•

Logging Off

 on page 229

Before the library can be used, there is some basic configuration that must be done. Configuration varies 
depending on the type of library and the features that will be used. Before configuring the library, you should 
review all Technical Bulletins and Release Notes and Errata for the product.

Addressing Configuration Prerequisites

You must obtain the following information from the customer, before configuring the library.

•

Proposed IP address of library 

•

Subnet Mask for local network 

•

IP address for the gateway on the local subnet 

•

IP address of the SMTP server 

•

Access account of SMTP server

Note

Only one administrator can be logged on and performing library configuration 
at any one time. If another administrator attempts to log on, a message 
appears, warning that only one administrator at a time is permitted on the 
library. If a service user logs on while an administrator or regular users are 
logged on, the library automatically logs off those users.
