Configuring Your Library
file:///T|/htdocs/stor-sys/ML6000/en/html/ch04.htm[9/17/2012 1:49:29 PM]
Details on using the Setup Wizard include:
• The only time that you do not need to log in to the library is when the Setup Wizard appears on the operator panel the
first time the library is powered on.
• After a timeout period of one hour, the Setup Wizard will close, and you will be logged out of the library. Use the
default administrator account to log in to the operator panel.
• If you time out of the Setup Wizard or do not complete all the Setup Wizard screens, the library will apply the default
configuration settings plus whatever modifications you made (see
Default Configuration Settings).
• You cannot log in to the library from the Web client until you have configured network settings on the operator panel.
To change IPv4 settings and configure IPv6 settings, go to Setup > Network Mgmt.
• You can return to the Setup Wizard from the Web client.
• Any administrators you create will also be able to use the Setup Wizard from the Web client as well as Setup and
Operations menu commands to reconfigure the library.
• If necessary, you can cancel out of the Setup Wizard on the operator panel and begin using the library locally with
the default settings in place. If you accept the default network configuration settings, you will not be able to access the
library remotely from the Web client. You can, however, use Setup > Network Mgmt on the operator panel at any
time to modify network settings. See
Default Configuration Settings for more information.
Default Configuration Settings
The default configuration settings are as follows:
• License keys: COD, 41 slots minimum. The total number depends on number of pre-activated slots purchased.
• Network settings: DHCP enabled, IPv6 disabled
• Import/export (I/E) station slots: 6
• Cleaning cartridge slots: 0
• Partitions: By default, the library creates partitions and assigns available library resources proportionately among
the partitions, grouping tape drives according to distinct combinations of tape drive interface type (SCSI, FC, or
SAS) and tape drive media type. To mix tape drive types/media types within a partition, create partitions
manually. See
Manually Creating Partitions.
