Start VOP
Important:
■
Remember, the Service Delivery Platform (SDP) does not support the LTO4
drives. You may need to make adjustments to the network addresses if mixing
tape drives on the same KMA and/or SDP network (LAN 2).
■
With this Ethernet connection, you cannot perform the same or similar functions
with this tape drive that you can with the T-Series drives, such as downloading
tape drive code and running tape drive diagnostics.
■
Before beginning, make sure you have the assigned IP addresses and Agent
names for the tape drives available and defined in the KMS manager.
To start the VOP for the LTO4:
1. Configure and connect your laptop to an LTO4 tape drive.
(For example: use a cross-over cable and connect directly to a tape drive.)
2. Start the executable file (ltoVOP .file or .bat) to start the application.
3. Enter the default IP address (10.0.0.1) and click Connect.
TIP:
You may want to create a shortcut on your desktop that links you to the
ltoVOP
executable file. Then click on this shortcut to launch this application.
4. Set the drive offline.
