blades
the partition
Only one tape drive in a partition can be selected as the control path per partition. In the event that the control path
connection to the host application fails, you can select a new control path for the partition.
Control paths should not be selected for partitions that contain FC tape drives connected to a host applications through FC I/O
blades, unless the control path tape drive is NOT connected to an FC I/O blade.
The Setup > Control Path screens list a selected partition's tape drives, including the tape drive that is currently designated
as the control path. You can designate a new control path for the partition by selecting a different tape drive. You can also
disable a partition's control path by clearing the current control path selection.
Caution: Do not select an FC tape drive as control path if it is connected to an FC I/O blade. The control path will be
filtered out by the I/O blade and will not be visible to the host.
Note: You may need to modify settings in your host application as a result of modifying the control path. See your
host application documentation.
Note: Bold column headings in the table can be sorted. For example, selecting the Location column heading will sort
by location coordinates.
Note: If you have more than one FC I/O blade in the library, each FC I/O blade will present each partition — that does
not have a tape drive as the control path — as a target device to the host. Thus the host may see the same partition
multiple times. To minimize confusion, you should configure host mapping so that each host sees each device only
once. See
Configuring Host Mapping.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the Web client, select Setup > Control Path
.
•
From the operator panel, select Setup > Control Path
.
Obtaining and Installing a License Key
Several features can be added to the standard library configuration either with your initial purchase or afterward (see
Licensable Features).
This section describes how to license these features on your library, in the following sections:
• About License Keys
•
Viewing Licenses and License Keys
•
Obtaining a License Key
•
Applying a License Key
About License Keys
If you purchase a licensable feature with your library, the license will be installed when you receive the library. If you upgrade
or add new features after the initial purchase, Dell issues you a license key certificate. The license key certificate contains an
authorization code that enables you to retrieve your license key from the PowerVault ML6000 Web site. Once you install the
license key on the library, the feature becomes available.
Details about license keys include:
• An authorization code to obtain a license key can be used one time only.
• The license key may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters. The license key can also contain the "at" (@), hyphen
(-), or underscore (_) symbols. Alpha characters must be lowercase. The user interface automatically converts entries
to lowercase.
• A given license key can only be used on the library to which it is assigned and cannot be transferred to another library.
The key is verified when it is applied to the library to make sure it is the proper key associated with the library serial
