CoD Feature for the Spectra 2000 Library

Introduction

About this Guide

This guide describes the method for implementing CoD, Spectra Logic’s capacity-on-

demand feature, in the Spectra 2000 library.

About CoD

CoD gives you the ability to double the storage capacity in your Spectra 2000 library

(from 15 slots to 30 slots) as it is needed. CoD is the most cost-effective and efficient

way to meet the growing data storage needs of your Spectra 2000 library while

eliminating the risk factors associated with planning for this growth.

CoD is a feature available only on Spectra 2000 libraries with Fibre Channel and

Ethernet interfaces.

Estimated Time Required

This procedure should take less than 10 minutes (not including time for cable setup or

HyperTerminal configuration, if necessary).

Materials and Tools Required

To upgrade your library with CoD, you will need the following:

• A CoD-enabled Spectra 2000 library.

- You can verify if you have a CoD-enabled library by checking the part number on

the rear panel of the library. CoD-enabled libraries have the number 3 in the sixth

position in the part number. For example: 9087X3XX-X-XXX.

• A TAOS firmware level of 4.1 or above.

- If you need assistance checking your current firmware level or assistance updating

your library firmware, contact Spectra Logic Technical Support at (800) 227-4637

or at (303) 449-6444, extension 3175.

• A 15-slot data cartridge magazine (DCM), P.N. 90870652.

- Two 15-slot DCMs were shipped with your library. If you cannot locate your

second DCM, you will need to order a new one in order to use CoD.

• A CoD Activation Key for the Spectra 2000 library, P.N. 90870034.

- See How to Proceed on page 5.

How to Proceed

Once you have verified that your Spectra 2000 library is able to accept CoD (having the

correct library part number and correct TAOS firmware level), you are ready to get the

CoD Activation Key from Spectra Logic. Since the Activation Key is unique for each

library, it is necessary to provide Spectra Logic with the Library Identifier for the library

that you are upgrading.

After you have obtained the Library Identifier, you can purchase a CoD Activation Key

by contacting Spectra Logic Sales at (800) 833-1132 or (303) 449-6400. With the

Activation Key, you are ready to upgrade the capacity in your library.

Upgrade Methods

If you are using the HTTP method to upgrade your library, proceed to one of the

following as necesssary:

•Locate the Library Identifier via HTTP Interface on page 6.

•Upgrade Library Capacity via HTTP Interface on page 9.

If you are using the serial port method to upgrade your library, proceed to one of the

following as necesssary:

•Locate the Library Identifier via Serial Port Interface on page 12.

•Upgrade Library Capacity via Serial Port Interface on page 14.

Locate the Library Identifier via HTTP Interface

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the library you would like to

configure, you will need to configure it via the serial port.

1. Open your Internet browser.

2. In the Address field, enter the IP address of the device you would like to

configure. The Configuration Utility screen appears (Figure 1).

Note: Where the words FIREFROG “FIREFROG-6” appear in the screen above,

your screen will instead show the device name for your library as

was assigned by the administrator.

3. Select the Configure button.

Figure 1 The Configuration Utility screen.

The Enter TAOS Configuration Password screen appears (Figure 2).

4. Enter your password and select Enter. The Administration and Configuration

screen appears (Figure 3).

Note: If you do not know your password, you can reset or disable the

configuration password for the library via the serial port interface.

See Disabling Your Password on page 13.

5. Select Options Enablement. The Options Enablement screen appears.

6. You will see the Library Identifier in bold near the top of the screen (Figure 4).

7. Give this number to your Spectra Logic sales representative when purchasing

your CoD Activation Code.

Upgrading Library Capacity

Once you have obtained your Activation Key from Spectra Logic, proceed to Upgrade

Library Capacity via HTTP Interface on page 9.
