Preparing for Configuration
After the Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM) has been successfully installed, the libraries must be
configured to operate correctly as a multi-unit library configuration.
NOTE: The master library has a fully functional GUI. Slave libraries only have partial GUI
capabilities.
Before configuring the libraries:
1. Make sure the libraries are connected as described in the HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Series
Tape Library User Guide.
2. Power on the LAN hub.
3. Turn the libraries on and wait until the Power-On Self Test (POST) completes and the HP
initialization or home screen appears on the display. Refer to the HP StorageWorks MSL6000
Series Tape Library User Guide for detailed instructions on power-up procedures.
Configuring the Master Library
1. Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) touch screen on the master library, touch the Menu
button from the Status screen (see Figure 25). Refer to the HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Series
Tape Library User Guide for instructions on how to operate the GUI touch screen.
