Installati on and Conf igur ation 4 2 S S L1016 T ape Autoloader R efer ence Guide T o configure the autoloader , you must set the following: ■ SCSI ID ■ Ethernet IP address (if you are no t using DHCP) ■ SNMP server IP address (for SNMP alerts) ■ T ime server IP address (or the timezo ne, date, and time, if conf iguring manually) Note: The DL T1 and SDL T aut oloaders do not ha ve a battery so if time is manually set , it i s lost and need s to b e reset when ev er the auto loader is p ow er cycled. ■ Control mode ■ Security option SCS I I D Each SCSI de vice attached to a server or workstation must ha ve a unique SCSI ID. For the DL T1 and SDL T autoloaders you need to set only one SCSI ID for the autoloader; you do not need to set up se parate SCSI IDs for the tape driv e and autoloader . Because the auto loader uses LUNs to address the dri v e and robotics, only the autoloader requires a SCSI ID. For the Ultrium 460 autoloader you must se t tw o SCSI IDs; one for the autoloader and one for the tape driv e. The default SCSI ID for the autoloader is 4. The default SCSI ID for the tape dri ve is 5. Check the IDs on all other SCSI de vices th at are on the SCSI bu s, including the SCSI host adapter , and sele ct an unused SCSI ID for the autoloader . The def ault ID for the autoloader is 5, b ut you ca n select any unused number between and including 0 and 15. If the factory de fault SCSI ID (5) is not already being used by another de vice on the SCSI b us, you do not need to change the autoloader SCSI ID from 5 if you do not want to. Note: Disr egar d the S CSI ID s wit ch on t he back of the DCA. T he aut oloade r does not use the switch to set the SCSI ID .

Installati on and Conf igur ation 44 SSL1016 T ape Au toloader R efer ence Guide Contr ol M ode Y ou can set the autoloader to either Ra ndom, Mix ed, Sequential, or Seq Cycle Mode. The defa ult control mode is Random. Note: If the I /E slot is enable d , the autoloader cannot b e used in Mix ed or Sequential Mode . The Sequential mode su pports certain bac kup applications that do not man age media. During backup, wh en one cartridge is read or writ ten to the end of the tape, the autoloader automatically returns that cartridge to its slot and loads the cartridge from the ne xt higher numbered slot to the tape dri ve to be read or written to. This continues until the backup softwa re stops accessing the driv e or until all the cartridges ha ve been sequentially accessed. In Random control mo de you can specify which ca rtridge you want to use and where you want it to go. Y ou will pr obably use this mode the most. In Mixe d mode, the autoloader supports bo th Sequential and Random mode functions. This mode can be useful in network en vironment. Note: Do not use Mi xed mode unless you ar e certain all applications support Mi xed mode oper ation. In Seq Cycle m ode, the autolo ader automatically starts o ver with magazine slot 1 when the last cartridge is used (slot 16 or highest filled slot). If this control mode is not set, the autoloader st ops when the last cartridge a vailable has been used. In Seq Cycle mode, the autoloader con tinues to c ycle until a user stops it.

Ethernet Ethernet is the method the autoloader uses to access a network. W ith an Ethernet connection, you can remotely access the auto loader over the network to which it is connected. T o use the Ethernet connec tion, you must define th e following: ■ A dynamic or static IP address for the autoloader ■ A subnet mask ■ An IP gatew ay If you want SNMP alerts or a link to a tim e server you must def ine the follo wing: ■ A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) serv er (for SNMP alerts) ■ A Simple Network T ime Protocol (SNTP) time serv er , or set the time and timezone manually Note: The DL T1 and SDL T aut oloaders do not ha ve a battery so if time is ma nuall y set , it i s lost and need s to b e reset when ev er the auto loader is p ow er cycled. Autoloader IP Addres s An Internet Protocol (IP) address is the addr ess of any de vice that is attached to a network. Each de vice must hav e a unique IP address. IP addresses are writte n as four sets of numbers separated b y periods ranging from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.2 55.255. IP addresses are either permanent or dy namically assigned. A permanent address remains the same each time the de vice c onnects to a network. A dynamic address changes each time the device connects to the netw ork, and is assigned by the network serv er using a class of software called Dynamic Host Conf iguration Protocol (DHCP). When you f irst po wer on the autoloader , the default method for setting the IP address is the dynamic method (DHCP). If yo u want to use DHCP you can sk ip this step. T o determine the IP address wh en using DHCP , view the Ethernet status information (see “V iew Ethernet Information”).

Many electr onic devices, including computers, generate RF energ y inc ident al to their intended function and are, therefore, cov ered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral de vices into two classes, A and B, d epending upon their intended installation. Class A de vices are those th at may reasonably be e xpected to be installed in a b u siness or commercial en vironment. Class B de vices are those that may reasonably b e e xpe cted to be insta lled in a residential en vironment (that is, personal computers). The FCC requires de vices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of th e de vice as well as additional operating instructions for the user . The rating label on the de vice shows which cl ass (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B de vices hav e an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A de vices do not hav e an FCC logo or FCC ID on the la bel. Once the class of the de vice is determined, refer to the follo wing correspon ding statement. Class A Equipment This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to P a rt 15 of th e FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harm ful interference when the equipment is operated in a comme rcial en vironment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency ener gy and, if no t installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful in terference to radi o communications. Operation of this equipment in a resi dential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.
