Danger and caution notices Danger Notice A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people. A lightning bolt symbol always accompanies a danger notice to represent a dangerous electrical condition. Caution Notice A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some existing condition. A caution notice can be accompanied by one of several symbols: If the symbol is. It means. A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than electrical danger. A hazardous condition that is not r epresented by other safety symbols. A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the product. Laser symbols ar e always accompanied by the classification of the laser as defined by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (for example, Class I, Class II). A hazardous condition due to mechanical movement in or around the pr oduct.W eight symbols are accompanied by an appr oximation of the product's weight. xiii Laser Safety and Compliance Before the library is used, r eview the following laser safety information. Class I Laser Product The product might contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance standards set by the US Food and Dr ug Administration for a Class I laser product. Class I laser products do not emit hazar dous laser radiation. The library has the necessary protective housing and scanning safeguar ds to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External safety agencies reviewed the pr oduct and obtained approvals to the latest standards as they apply. It should be in place and secur e. 10. Check the product label at the r ear of the library to make sure that it matches the voltage at your outlet.DANGER v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.Always install servers and optional devices, starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.Do not place any object on top of rack mounted devices.Do not plug a power cord from a device that is installed in one rack cabinet into a power device that is installed in a differ ent rack cabinet.It is the responsibility of the customer to ensur e that the outlet is correctly wir ed and grounded to pr event an electrical shock. CAUTION: v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures might exceed the manufactur er's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack mounted devices.Ensure that air flow is not blocked or r educed on any side, front, or back of a unit that is used for air flow through the unit.T o provide the correct power connection to a rack, r efer to the rating labels on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requir ement of the supply circuit.Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.Attempting to move the drawer partially or out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001) Safety and environmental notices xv Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building: v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment, starting at the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restor e the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it.Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

Shipping lock and label storage location The shipping lock, which secures the accessor during shipping, and associated label are stor ed on the rear panel of the library for futur e use. For use by Service Personnel.Bar Code Reader The bar code reader is an integral part of the library accessor. The bar code reader provides inventory feedback to the host application, Operator Contr ol Panel display, and W eb User Interface by reading cartridge bar code labels. The library stores the customized inventory data in memory. Library firmware support sa6o r8 character volume serial number (VOLSER) on the bar code label on the tape cartridge. Bar code selection is available for libraries with library code 4.50 or greater. Encryption The L TO Ultrium 5 and 6 T ape Drive supports Application Managed Encryption (AME), and Library Managed Encryption (LME), using T10 encryption methods, for SAS and Fibre Channel drives only. Data encryption is supported with L TO Ultrium 4, Ultrium 5, and Ultrium 6 Data Cartridges only. Encryption is also supported with library firmware version 5.80 and higher and drive firmwar e version 77BE for L TO 4 and higher drive code level. The encryption enabled drive contains the necessary hardwar e and firmware to encrypt and decrypt host tape application data. Encryption policy and encryption keys are pr ovided by the host application or host server. A drive digital certificate is installed at manufacturing time. Each drive receives a unique serial number and certificate. The T10 application may validate each drive instance by checking the drive's digital certificate. Chapter 1. Product Description 1-5 T o prevent possible data loss due to a key management server failure, Dell recommends the use of a primary and secondary key management server. This configuration provides redundancy in the event the primary key management server is down or unavailable. Please refer to IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online at for information on configuring a primary and secondary key management server for your library. If the backup job fails due to a key management server failure, the job recovers if connectivity is restored to the key management server prior to expiration of the timeout set in the tape backup software application. Enabling library-managed encryption on a PowerV ault TL2000 or TL4000 is a 6 step process. 1. Upgrade the library and drive firmware to the latest versions. The firmwar e can be found at 2. Enable library-managed encryption on the library via the license key if not already licensed. Please r efer to “Configure Library: Encryption” on page 5-46 for activation instructions. If you purchased library-managed encryption at the time you pur chased your library, a hard copy of the license key is provided with your library as a backup. Y ou will need the library serial number and worldwide node name to obtain the license key. Please refer to the following tables in this document for instructions on locating this information: v T able 1.2 for library serial number v T able 5.6 for library worldwide node name If this does not resolve your issue, please contact Dell technical support. 3. Configure library-managed encryption on your library. Refer to the IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online for information. 5. Configure the IBM SKLM application. Refer to the IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online for information. 6. Start the IBM SKLM application. Refer to the IBM SKLM Knowledge Center online for information. Note: All encryption settings should be configured or r e-verified in the drive after any library or drive reset. This is because a new drive may have been added or an existing drive may have been swapped with another drive. 1-6 Dell PowerV ault TL2000 T ape Library and TL4000 T ape Library User's Guide Using the information supplied in each SNMP trap, the monitoring station (together with customer-supplied softwar e) can alert operations personnel of possible problems or operator interventions that occur. SNMP T raps SNMP traps ar e alerts or status messages that can be collected, monitored and used to proactively manage attached libraries using SNMP protocol with the host server(s). In summary, each trap provides the following information: v Product Identification such as product name, description, manufactur er, model number, firmware level, and the URL that the trap is designated for.Also included would be certain library statistics, and where appropriate, the fault FSC (fault symptom code) including the severity and description of that fault.Status and error data is also gather ed by MIBs and sent to one or more IP addr esses defined during the SNMP configuration operation.

Product Description 1-1 1 Category 2D states that the library should be installed a minimum o f4m( 1 3 ft.) from a permanent work station. T o allow for service access, install the library a minimum of 0.9 m (3 ft.) from all obstacles. The library is a precision computer peripheral. T o ensure maximum longevity of your library, locate the library away from dust, dirt, and airborne particulates: v Keep the library away from high-traf fic areas, especially if the floor is carpeted. Carpeting harbors dust and people walking on the carpet can cause the carpet fibers and the dust to become airborne. Additionally, do not store paper supplies next to the library.Ensure that the machine covers ar e always kept closed to minimize any contamination from airborne particles. Supported Device Drivers The latest levels of device drivers can be downloaded by visiting. Note: The TL2000 and TL4000 libraries utilize the generic SCSI drivers in RHEL 4 and 5. Depending on the ISV you are using, you will use either the sg or st driver. Please refer to your ISV documentation for more information on which driver to use. 1-14 Dell PowerV ault TL2000 T ape Library and TL4000 T ape Library User's Guide In this mode, the Operator Control Panel displays status associated with the actions that wer e caused from commands issued via the drive's internal (drive to library) serial interface. When an Operator Control Panel button is pr essed and released, the Operator Control Panel automatically transitions to User Interaction mode. User Interaction mode will continue until 3 minutes after a user stops pushing buttons, or the requested accessor action stops - whichever is longer. At which time, the Operator Control Panel will r eturn to System Driven mode. If necessary, the Operator Control Panel automatically transitions to the System Driven mode. When this occurs, the library must remember the pr evious function before the display mode changed. Ther efore the next button pressed only transitions the Operator Control Panel to the User Interaction mode fr om the System Driven mode. In case of the activated user security feature, the User Interaction mode is restricted to Login and Monitor menu items, until a user logs in with a corr ect password. Operator Control Panel Philosophy Operator Control Panel operation must obey some basic r ules. These rules of operation constitute a philosophy.Any reservation by the Operator Contr ol Panel is canceled by an Operator Control Panel logout or a timeout, which cancels the User Interaction Mode.An error code will be displayed on the Operator Control Panel display and the err or LED will 2-1 Power-ON Display When the library powers ON or resets, it goes thr ough several internally controlled processes that allow it to get initialized and r unning. These processes ar e called Power-On-Self-T est (POST). During the POST the Operator Control Panel displays information that may be meaningless until POST is complete. When the POST is finished, the library displays the Startup screen, then the Home scr een. The Startup screen is the first scr een that appears after powering ON the library. Attempts to make changes will be ignored. Note about the Front Panel LEDs All LEDs are updated during power ON and r eset sequences. Upon power ON or software r eset, the library illuminates all LEDs as soon as POST allows. The Operator Control Panel will also display an appr opriate error code to help identify the failure.The LED is turned off after a successful drive cleaning operation.Redundant power supply failed Complete the following steps: 1. Replace the failed power supply (see “Replacing a Power Supply” on page 10-10). 2. Cycle library power. Power supply fan failure Replace the power supply.This will happen at the same time the har d error message is displayed on the screen and the LED will r emain lit until the error state is resolved. If Library V erify runs without error, the Error LED turns of f. If the error persists, recycle power. Selecting Predefined V alues 1. T o set the predefined values, pr ess the SELECT button to select the menu item. Chapter 2. User Interfaces 2-3 T oggling V alues T oggle values are used to switch between two dif ferent states like ON and OFF. 1. After navigating to the menu item, press the SELECT button to select the menu item. 2. Using the UP and DOWN buttons, select one of the various pr edefined states for that item. 3. Press the SELECT button to apply the new state. If the library is powered ON, pr essing this button for 4 seconds will initiate a controlled power down of the library (soft landing). The following operations will take place before the library shuts down completely: v The display indicates with an appropriate message that the shutdown is in progr ess.Note: The shutdown process may be aborted by r eleasing the button before 4 seconds has passed. W eb User Interface Many of the same operations performed from the Operator Contr ol Panel can also be performed remotely using the W eb User Interface. The W eb User Interface lets you monitor and control your library fr om any terminal connected to your network or through the W orld W ide W eb (WWW). The W eb User Interface hosts a dedicated, protected Internet site that displays a graphical repr esentation of your library. For static IP Addresses only: After establishing a connection to the library, open any HTML browser and enter the IP address of the library. T o configur e the W eb 2-4 Dell PowerV ault TL2000 T ape Library and TL4000 T ape Library User's Guide Login Important: Some options of the W eb User Interface take the library OFFLINE. This inactive mode can interfere with host-based application softwar e, causing data loss. Make sure the library is idle befor e attempting to perform any remote operations that will take the library OFFLINE.The Service account has all the same privileges as the Admin account with the addition of advanced unit diagnostics. Note: User and Superuser accounts must be enabled by the library administrator. These accounts are disabled by default. Note: Passwords ar e case-sensitive. Use the following password for logging in as an Admin user: secure Each level affects which ar eas you have access to and what actions you can initiate from those ar eas. For DHCP, use the Operator Control Panel to determine the IP Address assigned to your library. Scroll down to IP Address and make note of the address. Enter the IP Address in your internet br owser address field to access your library with the W eb User Interface. IPv6 addresses can only be configur ed in the OCP if the IPv6-only stack is enabled. In the case where the dual stack is enabled, the IPv6 addr ess must be configured thr ough the web interface (either using the IPv4 address or a known Chapter 2. User Interfaces 2-5 System Status The System Status screen is always pr esent after login giving current status of the library. Status icons indicate the following conditions.This condition can be caused by a media, library, redundant power supply, power supply fan, or a drive sled problem. T o determine which, view the System Status screen.The Auto Clean status disappears from the system status screen once Auto Clean has been properly configured. Y ou will get messages if the cleaning media expires.If a redundant power supply fails, the System Status scr een will appear as shown in Figure 2-6. Note: If your library has -04 level redundant power supplies (see label on top of power supply), it is normal for the one in “Standby” mode to turn its “Green” LED of f. Y ou can test this power supply by pulling the power connector from the other “Active” power supply. The power supply that was in “Standby” mode will now become “Active”, and its “Green” LED should light. If it doesn’t, replace it (r efer to “Replacing a Power Supply” on page 10-10).

Basic Guidelines v Each logical library must contain at least one drive.Library Sharing The library's default configuration allows a single application to operate the library through a single contr ol path. Often, it is advantageous to be able to share a single library between heterogeneous (dissimilar) or homogeneous (similar) applications. Some applications (and some servers) do not allow for sharing a library between systems. Configurations can be created that enable the library to pr ocess commands from multiple heter ogeneous applications and multiple homogeneous applications. From the library's W eb User Interface or Operator Control Panel, the following actions can be performed: v Configure the library so that it is partitioned into separate logical libraries that independently communicate with separate applications through separate contr ol paths. This configuration requir es no special capabilities from the server or application. (For more information, see “Using Multiple Logical Libraries for Library Sharing” on page 3-2.) v Configure any single logical library (including the entir e physical library) so that it is shared by two or mor e servers that are running the same application. Depending on the capabilities of the server and application, there ar e several ways to set up this type of configuration. This configuration is used in high-availability environments. Multi-initiator configurations ar e only supported by certain adapters and independent software vendors (ISVs). This configuration requires that contr ol paths be added (see “Using Multiple Control Paths” on page 3-2). Library configuration is not limited to the examples given above. Many configurations are possible, and can be designed accor ding to your business needs. For additional information, refer to your host application documentation.
