StorageLibrary T40+ Series Installation and User Guide
57
If your library includes fibre channel or SAS tape drives, the Setup Drive ID screen shows the world-
wide node name and port name of the drive. These are not configurable.
The world-wide node name and port name for drives is based on the bay position in the library, and
not the drive itself. This means that if a drive is replaced, or moved to a different bay, the drive will
take on the node name and port name of the bay that it is installed in.
The node names and port names are unique for each library and are assigned to the library during
manufacturing.
Modifying the Control Path
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. For normal operation,
only one tape drive should be selected as the control path for each partition at any one time. By
default, the lowest tape drive assigned to a partition is designated the control path. In the event that
the control path connection to the host application fails, you may manually select a new control path
for the partition.
Note
You may need to modify settings in your host application as a result of modifying
the control path. For details, please refer to your host application documentation.
The control path is configured with the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can later
access the control path configuration screens directly:
•
From the
RMI
, select
Setup > Partitions
•
From the
FPI
, select
Menu > Setup > Par
Configuring Menu Timeout
The Menu Timeout feature allows you to configure the timeout delay on the front panel and remote
management interface. If there has been no activity on the front panel or remote management
interface for a specified time, the FPI and RMI screens return to the home screens. The menu timeout
is user settable from 1 to 9 minutes. The default value is 1 minute.
The menu timeout is configured with the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can
later access the Menu Timeout configuration screens directly:
•
From the
RMI
, select
Setup > Library
•
From the
FPI
, select
Menu > Setup > Library
Setting Date and Time
The library is equipped with a battery backed up real time clock. The time is set initially during
manufacturing, but needs to be re-set to the local time by the user. As a minimum, it is recommended
that the library’s date and time be set during initial configuration. The settings are used to log the date
and time that events have taken place. The library date and time settings can be modified at any time.
The time is set to a 24 hour clock. For example, four o’clock in the afternoon is entered as 16:00.
The Date & Time is configured with the Setup Wizard. After the initial setup of your library you can
later access the Date & Time configuration screens directly:
•
From the
RMI
, select
Setup > Library
•
From the
FPI
, select
Menu > Setup > Library
