Planning Module and Rack Layout
If possible, install the Base Module in the middle of the rack to provide space for the permitted 3
Expansion Modules above and 3 Expansion Modules below. See
Table 1: Supported Library
Configurations
for additional details.
3.6
Internal IP Range Selection
For internal communication between modules the tape library uses an Ethernet connection with an
internal IP address range. To prevent any conflict between the internal IP address range and the external
IP addresses it is required to select the internal IP range before the tape library gets connected to the
external Ethernet port.
Therefore, a file which contains the internal IP range is stored onto the Base Module backplane:
/opt/storage/mfg/stack/network.range and LCM /opt/storage/configuration/network.range
The Values must be in the following format:
RANGE=192.0.2
Please note: the last section of the IP address is not set because it will be set internally.
The file will be created through the Operator Control Panel (OCP) IP Range selection page when the
Stack starts for the very first time or if the unit was reset to Manufacturing Defaults / Reset via OCP or
Remote Management Interface (RMI)
.
