To Apply Changes

Note:

Make sure all values are correct. If incorrect values are applied, you must return the library to factory default values and repeat the entire initialization process.

Verify the entered values for the date, time, and network interface.

Note:
Alter any incorrect value before applying changes by tapping the highlighted back arrow.
Tap the Apply button.

The library performs a restart (see Appendix A, "Startup"). The duration of the restart varies based upon the number of modules in the library (a 30 cartridge library takes about seven minutes).

Caution:
Do not manually remove a cartridge magazine while the library is performing the restart. Only perform a manual cartridge magazine removal when the library is operational and offline.

After the restart completes, the Home screen appears on the touch screen (see Figure 4-8).

Final Configuration

You perform additional configuration tasks through the SL150 remote interface.

Note:

Make sure the library is online before using the SL150 remote interface.

Log in to the remote interface using the admin password defined during library initialization (see "To Change the Default Password").

Enter the library hostname or IP address in the address field of your browser window.

Note:

When you access the library remote interface immediately following a new installation, your browser may warn you that the connection is not trusted. This is normal for a library with code level 1.80, or greater, which uses a secure (https) connection.

Configure the browser to trust the connection, if applicable.

The process varies by browser. Follow the on-screen instructions in the browser dialog box.
Enter the User ID in the SL150 login dialog box (see Figure 4-10).
Enter the admin password in the SL150 login dialog box.
Click the Login button in the SL150 login dialog box.

Note:

If you are not able to log in to the remote interface because the network setting is wrong or you have forgotten the password, you can reset the initialization values to the manufacturing default. See "To Reset the Library with Manufacturing Default Values".

3 - Help Link

Refer to the user's guide or online Help (see call-out 3 in Figure 4-10) for further information regarding the Settings screen in order to:

Define other user roles.
Define a reserved cell and insert a diagnostic cartridge, if desired.
Partition the library, if desired.
Specify the volume label format.
Alter tape drive settings, if desired.

Some configuration settings result in a reboot of the library.

Note:

Library initialization occurs during the reboot and includes movement of the robot to determine the number of modules and tape drives in the library. If library initialization fails, the tape drive ports are not enabled. Because this is a bridged library, the host will not be able to see the library if the bridged drive ports are not enabled. Perform library troubleshooting procedures to resolve the problem.

Continue with Chapter 5, "Checkout" when the applicable items above are complete.

Note:
Refer to the Oracle Key Manager documentation if you intend to enable tape drive encryption.

To Reset the Library with Manufacturing Default Values

Push and release one of the Locate buttons on the library to enable the Locate indicators.

The Locate button is in the upper left corner of the front control panel (see "Library System Indicators") or at the rear of the library on the robot CRU in the black Library section.
Simultaneously press and hold both the front and rear Locate buttons for approximately 10 seconds.

Holding both buttons is more easily accomplished by using two people.

Note:
After approximately 4 seconds, the indicator flashes at a slow rate.
Wait for the Locate indicator to flash at a fast rate before releasing the Locate buttons.

The library is reset to manufacturing default values.

Note:
If either Locate button is released before the fast flash rate, the reset process terminates.
Press the library power switch if the library does not restart.
Repeat the library initialization steps and apply the changes.
