Device numbering conventions
In some instances, Command View TL numbers devices differently from how they are numbered
on the library front panel.
(page 26) shows the device numbering conventions used by Command View TL and by the library
front panel (when applicable).

Drive clusters in the ESL E-Series libraries are zero-based, although they are not referred to from the front panel of the
library.
2 The zero-based numbering of the FC host ports and SCSI busses corresponds to the numbers that are printed on the
actual hardware.
Initial configuration steps
After you have successfully installed the Interface Manager card and started Command View TL:
1.
Verify that the proxy settings for the management station are correct. See Changing the network
settings of the management station (page 33) .
2. Add all libraries that will be monitored to Command View TL. See Adding and removing
libraries (page 27) .
3. Add the license key for Command View TL and any additional features that you have
purchased. See
Managing license keys (page 31) .
4. Change the management station passwords. See Changing library passwords (page 34) .
5. Configure the library name, system date and time, and contact information for each library.
See
Changing the library settings (page 35) .
6. Edit the network settings of the Interface Manager card. See Changing the network settings
of the Interface Manager card (page 36) .
7. (Optional) Configure library partitions. Use Secure Manager (license required) to configure
library partitions. Partitioning the library erases all host access configuration settings. See
Partitioning a library (page 153) .
