IMPORTANT:
Once you reset the administrator password to null, you will not be able to access the administrator
functions in the RMI until you set an administrator password through the OCP. To
change
the
administrator password, use “Configuration: Password page” on page 93.
The saved configuration database will make it easier to recover the device configuration if you need
to replace the chassis or library controller. This feature is also useful when installing multiple devices.
Either save the configuration before configuring the network or ensure that only one device with the
same network configuration is on the network at a time until they have unique network identities.
NOTE:
You can save the device configuration to a USB flash drive from the OCP. For the MSL2024, see
“Saving and restoring the Library configuration (Configuration > Save/Restore
Configuration)” on page 120. For the MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096, see “Saving and restoring
the Library configuration (Configuration > Save/Restore)” on page .
