9 Configuration
This section describes how to configure and manage the VLS network settings, user preferences,
Fibre Channel host ports (optional), virtual libraries, tape drives, and cartridges.
Setting the Network Settings
Before you can open a Command View VLS or secure shell session, set the network settings. The
network settings can be set using either the VLS discovery utility (see
using the VLS Discovery Utility” (page 103)
) or the CLI command set using the serial user interface
(see
“Setting the Network Settings using the CLI Command Set” (page 104)
).
Setting the Network Settings using the VLS Discovery Utility
The VLS discovery utility looks for all the devices on the same subnet as the Windows computer
on which it is running. It then lists the devices and indicates whether they are configured (have an
IP address) or unconfigured.
You can use the VLS discovery utility to set the network settings on an unconfigured VLS, and to
view the network settings of configured devices. The utility can also be used to remove LUNs from
the user interface after one or more LUNs are no longer configured or have been removed from
the VLS.
NOTE:
The VLS discovery utility can only be used to change the network settings on a VLS with
no IP address. Once a VLS has an IP address, either through the DHCP or the VLS discovery utility,
its network settings cannot be changed using the VLS discovery utility. Use the CLI command set
or Command View VLS to change the network settings on a VLS that has an IP address. See
the Network Settings using the CLI Command Set” (page 104)
.
To set the network settings using the VLS discovery utility:
1.
Insert the VLS Documentation CD into the CD drive on a Windows system that is on the same
subnet as the VLS.
The CD auto-launches.
2.
Click VLS discovery utility.
The VLS discovery utility opens and lists all the devices it sees on the subnet (
).
The Configured box for a device is checked if the device has an IP address.
The device type, host name, IP address (if available), and serial number are displayed for
each device listed.
