Virtual Operator Panel 

The Sun StorageTek Virtual Operator Panel (VOP) is a computer-based application 
that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to these tape drives: 

■

T10000A 

■

T10000B 

■

T9840D 

With the VOP at Version 1.0.12 and higher, support for the HP LTO4 tape drive is 
provided through the 

“Dione Card” on page 7

—which serves as a serial to Ethernet 

translation device for the tape drive. 

FIGURE 3-1

 shows an example of the VOP Display.
