7Confi guration
This section describes how to configure the VLS network settings, user preferenc es, FC host ports
(optional), virtual libraries, tape drives, and cartridges. It is comprised of the following topics:
• Setting the network settings
• Setting the user preferences
• Editing the default FC host port settings
• Enabling and disabling oversubscription
• Managing virtual device LUNs
• Creating a virtual library
•Creatingtapedrives
• Creating cartridges
• Destroying a virtual library
• Destroying a tape drive
• Destroying cartridges
• Adding and removing barcode templates
Setting th
enetworksettings
Before you
can open a Command View VLS or secure shell session, set the network settings. The network
settings can be set using either the VLS discovery utility (see Setting the network settings using the VLS
discovery utility) or the CLI command set using the serial user interface (see Setting the network settings
using the CLI command set).
Setting the network settings using the VLS discovery utility
The V LS discovery utility looks for all the devices on the same subnet as the Windows computer on which
it is running. It then lists the d evices and indicates whether they are configured (have an IP address)
or u nconfigured.
You can use the VLS discovery utility to set the network settings on an unconfigured VLS, and to view
the network settings of configured devices. The utility can also be used to remove LUNs from the user
interfaceafteroneormoreLUNsarenolongerconfigured or have been removed from the VLS.
NOTE:
The VLS discovery utility can only be used to change the network setti ngs on a V LS with no IP address.
Once a VLS has an IP address, either through the DHCP or the VLS discovery utility, its network settings
cannot be changed using the VLS discovery utility. Use the CLI command set or Command View VLS to
change the network settings on a VLS that has an IP addr ess. See Setting the network settings using
the CLI command set.
To set the network settings using the VLS discovery utility:
1. Insert the VLS Documentation C D into the CD drive on a Windows system that is on the same
subnet as the VLS.
The CD auto-launches.
2. Click VLS discovery utility.
The VLS discovery utility opens and lists all the devices it sees on the subnet (Figure 29).
