7. Power on the server.
Configuring the device
Now that the Autoloader is connected to the host and powered on, configure it for your environment.
To configure the Autoloader:
1.
Set the administrator password. Setting an administrator password provides access to the
administrator functions with the RMI or OCP, and restricts access to administrator functions to
only those who know the administrator password. The Autoloader comes with a null
administrator password, which until set allows unrestricted access to all administrative functions
through the OCP but not the RMI. Once the administrator password has been set from the
OCP, it can be changed from either the OCP or RMI.
2. Set the date and time. The date and time are used by the Autoloader to record events and
should be set during the initial installation process. (See
Setting the date and time (Configuration
> Autoloader Date/Time) (page 75) .)
3. Configure the Autoloader network settings. Configuring the Autoloader network settings enables
you to monitor, configure, and control most Autoloader functions from the RMI. By default,
the device will obtain an IP address from an IPv4 DHCP server. Optionally, you can configure
the device to use a static IP address. Once logged into the RMI, you can administer further
network changes through the RMI. (See
Configuring network settings (Configuration > Configure
Network Settings) (page 75) .)
The device supports IPv4 and IPv6 Internet Protocols. By default, the device is configured to
use IPv4, the most common version. You can enable IPv6 or both Internet Protocols from the
OCP or RMI. You must finish configuring IPv6 from the RMI. (See
Changing the network
configuration (page 50) .)
Verifying the connection
To verify the connection between the host computer and the Autoloader:
1.
Install the application software and/or drivers that are compatible with the Autoloader. Software
compatibility information is available at
www.hp.com/go/automated . Backup software
packages may require additional software or licensing to communicate with the robotics.
2. Verify the connection between the Autoloader and the host:
•
Install the HP Library & Tape Tools Diagnostic/Installation Check Utility, available at
www.hp.com/support/TapeTools , onto the host server. This utility verifies that the unit is
connected and communicating with the host server. It also verifies that the device is
functioning and provides diagnostic information. Run the HP Library & Tape Tools
Installation Check from the programs menu to verify your connections.
NOTE: L&TT may also be run from a CD, Compact Flash drive, or remote directory after
installation on another computer. See the HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tool User
guide for instructions for installing L&TT on a computer other than the server.
•
Confirm that the host server's operating system recognized the device in Microsoft®
Windows® XP, Windows® Server 2003 or in Windows 2000® by going to:
Settings
> Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Tape Drive and/or Media
Changer
.
For more information on verifying the connection of parallel SCSI devices, consult the operating
system documentation.
