HP StorageWorks MSL Library Extender Getting started guide and replacement instructions (AQ746-96002, April 2009)

5 Disabling extended mode
Power on both Libraries.
Disable Extended mode for both Libraries from their Configuration >
System menus.
Power each Library off and then on for the configuration change to take
effect.
6 Connecting the Ethernet cable
To use the RMI with the lower Library, insert one end of an Ethernet cable
into the Ethernet port on the back of the Library. Plug the other end into
an Ethernet LAN port.
7 Copying the key server token
Skip this step if the extended library is not using the HP StorageWorks
1/8 G2 and MSL Encryption Kit.
The encryption keys used to read and write encrypted data are stored
on a USB key server token. In the extended library, all of the encryption
keys are stored on the same key server token. When the Libraries are
separated, each Library will need its own key server token with the keys
to read tapes that were written by the extended Library.
To create a second key server token with the keys used by the extended
library, follow the instructions for backing up the key server token data
in the HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 and MSL Encryption Kit User guide.
Insert the key server token into the USB port on the lower Library.
8 Reconfiguring the Libraries
When extended mode is disabled, each Library will have a mix of
settings from the extended library, default values, previous values, and
new values. Use the OCP or RMI to reconfigure each Library. See the
HP StorageWorks MSL2024, MSL4048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries
User and service guide for more information about the settings and
configuring the Libraries.
Settings retained from the extended library
The following settings are retained by both Libraries from the extended
library:
• Administrator password
• SCSI tape drive addresses
• Fibre Channel drive settings
• Date and time
• Email notification
• Encryption — remains On if LTO3 or LTO4 tape drives are installed
Settings that are set to default values
The following settings are set to default values:
• Mailslot configuration — all mailslots disabled
• Reserved slots — no reserved slots
• Library mode — Automatic
• Autoload — No
• Loop — No
• Logical libraries (partitioning) — Off
• SCSI master drive — the lowest tape drive in each Library
Settings where the lower Library reverts to
earlier values
For the following settings the upper Library retains the settings from the
extended Library and the lower Library reverts to the settings it had before
extended mode was enabled:
• Network settings
• Barcode format reporting
• Auto clean
• SNMP
• Log tracing configuration
• Allow magazine access without the Administrator password
• Ignore barcode media ID
Special cases
• OCP contrast setting (MSL4048 and MSL8096) — each Library re-
tains the setting it had before extended mode was enabled
• Drive power — The Library that hosts the tape drive that was the
SCSI master drive in the extended library retains the drive power
settings from the extended library. In the other Library, all drives are
powered on.
