Expansion Module: Tape Drive

The tape drive expansion module is an 8U chassis

containing 94 LTO slots.

The tape drive expansion module has three

windows on the front for viewing the robotic motion

inside the library. To the right is a 10-cartridge

configurable load port that holds two 5-cartridge

magazines.

On the back, the module contains one primary

power supply with a slot provided for another

optional redundant power supply. Refer to the

HP StorageWorks EML User Guide for additional

information and installation procedures.

Component Installation

Expansion Module: Card Cage

The card cage expansion module is a 4U chassis

that contains 48 permanent LTO slots and space for

additional interface controllers. This module must be

located directly below the 8U tape drive expansion

module in a 24U library configuration.

The front of the chassis has one window for viewing

robotic motion inside the library. On the back, six

PCI card slots are available for additional e2400-

FC 2G interface controllers to expand the library

tape drive capacity. Refer to the HP StorageWorks

EML User Guide for additional information and

installation procedures.

NOTE: Refer to each component installation poster for specific installation information.

You may also refer to the HP StorageWorks EML User Guide for additional information

and installation procedures.

Verify that you have the following equipment and accessories available

before beginning the installation process. For a native Fibre Channel (FC)

environment, you need the following:

1. One or more Ultrium tape drives (these come preinstalled in one

configuration)

2. One HP StorageWorks e2400-FC 2G interface controller for every four

tape drives (comes preinstalled in one configuration)

3. Four FC drive cables and one Ethernet cable for each e2400-FC 2G

interface controller

NOTE: Only use Ethernet cables provided with the library. If the

library uses a LAN extension connector, plug into it, and not

directly to a card.

4. One Interface Manager card (preinstalled in EML)

5. One library robotics controller (preinstalled in EML)

6. One FC cable for each interface controller connection to a host or

switch (not included)

7. One Ethernet cable for an Interface Manager card connection to the

management station

8. One Ethernet cable for an Interface Manager card connection to the

library robotics controller (preinstalled)

9. Tape cartridges for appropriate tape drives

Powering on the Library

Configuration through the

Operator Control Panel (OCP)

After all componenets have been installed and

cabled, power on the library.

a. Close and latch the library front door.

b. Open the back doors of the library rack and

press the main power switch to the 1(On)

position.

c. Close the library rack back doors.

The library requires several minutes to power on.

Nothing displays on the operator control panel

(OCP) for the first few minutes of this process.

The OCP is used to configure library settings before first use. After

the library is powered up, configure these settings as described in

the HP StorageWorks EML User Guide.

The first screen displayed after library initialization is the Home

screen. After the library status is determined (ready, warning, or

error), that status is displayed on the Home screen, and you can

touch the screen to access other functional and operational screens.

After touching the Home screen, you are

presented with a screen containing a status

bar to the left of an HP logo, two rows of

tabs, and an area for detailed screen

information in the center.

1. Top-level menu tabs

2. Status bar

3. HP Logo

4. Detailed screen information area

5. Navigation tabs

Select anywhere on the screen to continue.

OCP icons

Critical error—A condition when a

component failure makes the library

inoperable.

Warning—A condition when a component

failure degrades library activity, but the

library is still operable.

Ready—The library is online and ready for

operation.

Thumbtack out—Indicates that the screen

is eligible to be selected for display after a

period of inactivity.

Thumbtack in—Indicates the screen has

been selected for display after a period of

inactivity. Only one screen at a time can

be thumbtacked.

Item selection—Indicates that the item can

be selected from a menu list.

Password required—Denotes that a

password is required to access this feature.

After you install and configure the library, complete the following setup tasks.

Refer to the HP StorageWorks EML User Guide for more information.

Change Password

The library ships with a null password.

Passwords must be set to exactly eight

characters consisting of the numbers

0 through 9 and the period character.

Configure Load Ports

This GUI shows the number of installed

load ports and enables you to toggle

between using each as a load port or for

tape slots. Configure it as a Load Port to

move tapes in and out of the library.

Configure as Slots to increase the number

of storage slots in the library. Changing a

load port configuration will cause a library

reboot.

Change Network Settings

This configures the network settings for the

Interface Manager card, which can be set

automatically with DHCP (the default), or

manually with a static IP address. Use the

Address Config: button to toggle between

these two options. If you are setting the

network addresses manually, touch each

address element separately to set the

network configuration.

Configure Barcode Reporting Formats

This defines how bar codes are displayed

on the OCP and sent to the host. Bar code

reporting can be configued as 6 to 8

characters and left or right aligned. If 6

characters with left alignment is chosen,

any characters after the six are truncated.

With 6 characters and right alignment, only

the last six characters are shown with the

beginning characters truncated.

Configure Reserve Slots

Up to nine slots can be reserved for special

purposes, such as cleaning tapes. The

default is none. Select the number you want

to reserve and press Save.

Configure Inventory Mode

This allows you to require bar codes on

tape cartridges, or to make them optional.

Requiring bar codes significantly improves

inventory time.
