Setting the Time, Network Address, and Library Parameters
4-2 StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library User's Guide
a single-stack, IPv4-only configuration. In dual-stack mode, the library continues to
recognize the familiar, dot-delimited, IPv4 addresses while adding the ability to use
hexadecimal IPv6 addresses.
IPv6 addresses consist of 128 bits divided into eight, colon-delimited, 16-bit groups.
The leftmost bits form the network prefix that identifies the subnet and the rightmost
bits are the interface identifier that uniquely identifies the host on the network. Leading
zeroes can be deleted and two or more consecutive groups of zeros can be replaced
once in any given address by a double colon (for example,
2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0041:3629
can become
2001:db8::ff00:41:3629
).
Before deciding on a configuration, consult with your network administrators.
Support for IPv6 and local addressing requirements can vary considerably from site to
site.
To configure the interfaces, proceed as follows:
1. Check the activity log for active jobs, such as tape moves or mounts.
2. If any tape jobs are active, wait for them to complete before continuing.
Never change the network configuration during active jobs, if at all possible.
3. If you have not already done so, run the configuration wizard. Check the
Configure Network Settings checkbox.
The Configure Network Port 1 worksheet appears.
4. Next, configure Local Area Network Port 1.
5. Then, either enable or disable Service Network Access on Port 2.
Configure Local Area Network Port 1
To configure Port 1, select one of the following approaches:
■ Use Both Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) and Version 4 (IPv4).
■ Use Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) Only.
Use Both Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) and Version 4 (IPv4)
To configure the network connection on Port 1 using both IPv6 and IPv4, proceed as
follows:
1. Enter the desired library name in the Host Name field.
Valid host names contain characters in the ranges [
A-Z
], [
a-z
], and [
0-9
], plus the
hyphen (
-
). A hyphen cannot be the first or last character in the host name. Spaces
and underscores (
_
) are not supported.
2. In the Configure Network for field, use the list control to select IPv4 and IPv6.
3. In the Configure IPv4 field, use the list control to select DHCP or Static.
In most cases, choose Static so that library interface clients can always find the
server at a stable, well-known network location.
4. If you chose static IPv4 addressing, enter the static IP address in the IPv4 Address
field.
5. If you chose static IPv4 addressing, enter the netmask for the static address in the
IPv4 Netmask field.
6. If you chose static IPv4 addressing, enter the IP address of the network gateway in
the IPv4
Gateway field.
