TIP:
Moving a configured interface controller from one library to a previously empty slot in
another library may enable a duplicate WWN to exist in the SAN. The Interface Manager
card and Command View TL will highlight this possibility, but you will need to take additional
action as noted in the next step.

Verify that there are no other interface controllers with the same WWN in the SAN. To view
the WWN of your interface controllers, cancel out of the Clear WWN Mismatches dialog,
and then click the Configuration tab, and then select Connection Properties in the left panel.

Using TapeAssure
For EML, ESL E-series, ESL G3, and MSL6480 libraries that contain LTO tape drives, TapeAssure
data is collected by the primary management station for the library. The primary management
station is the first Command View TL management station to register the library. To make a particular
Command View TL management station the primary management station for an EML, ESL E-series,
ESL G3, and MSL6480 library, simply be the first Command View TL management station to register
that library.
To change the primary management station for a library:
1.
Unregister the library from the current primary management station.
2.
Register the library with the appropriate primary management station.
The new management station is the TapeAssure collector for that library. After this change,
all new TapeAssure data generated by the library will be sent to its new primary management
station.
To see the libraries for which your management station is the primary management station (and
TapeAssure data collector), go to the Launcher screen in Command View TL. The Status column
reports the primary management station for each library.
