Setting the administrator password
Setting an administrator password provides access to the administrator functions with the RMI and OCP,
and restricts access to administrator functions to only those who know the administrator password. The
library comes with a null administrator password, which until set allows unrestricted access to all
administrative functions through the OCP but not the RMI. Once the administrator password has been set
from the OCP, it can be changed from either the OCP or the RMI. The administrator password must be
exactly eight digits consisting of the numbers 0 through 9.
Procedure
1. On the OCP, press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Configuration. Press Enter.
3. Press Enter to change the administrator password.
4. The first number will flash. Press Next or Prev until the first number for the new password is
displayed. Press Enter to accept the number. The next number flashes. Repeat for each number in
the password.
5. Press Cancel twice to move to the top of the menu.
Configuring the FC interface
Procedure
1. Navigate to the RMI Configuration > Drives screen.
2. Configure the settings for your drive and connection method.
Drives connected to a SAN
Leave the FC port at the default settings of Port Speed: Automatic and Port Type: Automatic. With
these settings, the tape drive will use the appropriate configuration.
Drives connected directly to the host
• For LTO-7 and LTO-8 drives, use Loop mode.
• For LTO-6 and earlier drives, leave the FC port at the default settings of Port Speed: Automatic
and Port Type: Auto Detect. With these settings, the tape drive will use the appropriate
configuration.
3. Click Submit.
Labeling the tape cartridges
The library will operate without barcode labels on the cartridges. Using barcode labels in production
environments improves inventory time in the library and eases cartridge handling processes outside the
library.
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library and application software to identify
the cartridge quickly, which speeds up inventory time. Make using bar code labels on your tapes a
practice.
