HP Command View for Tape Libraries Software - Manual (Page 144)

3 Advanced features in the GUI
Using license keys
The Interface Manager card in EML and ESL E-series tape libraries supports optional features that
require a Secure Manager license. A single Secure Manager license enables Advanced Host
Access, Library Partitioning, and the Secure Key Manager (SKM) or Enterprise Secure Key Manager
(ESKM).
•
Advanced Host Access —Gives the library administrator control over which robotics or drives
within a library may be accessed by the various backup hosts on the SAN.
•
Library Partitioning —Enables the library administrator to divide the physical library into multiple,
logical libraries.
•
HP StorageWorks Licensed Capacity Upgrade —With certain tape libraries, additional capacity
can be licensed as needed. The Licensed Capacity Upgrade feature enables you to enter a
license key to unlock this additional capacity.
•
Key Manager —Enables you to encrypt data on LTO4 and later tapes with LTO4 and later
drives.
•
TapeAssure Advanced —Supports the ESL G3, MSL6460, and MSL libraries and AutoLoaders.
This license provides an intuitive, easy to use dashboard and advance analytic features for
performance, health, and utilization related to drives and cartridges.
NOTE: The ESL G3 and MSL6480 TapeAssure Advanced license requires one permanent
Command View TL License for ESL G3/MSL6480 for that library.
•
Data Verification —Supports the ESL G3 library. This license is used for verifying the data
quality of the cartridge. Each cartridge uses up one license on the first use for the data
verification; subsequent use by the same cartridge does not use up the license again.
To use these features you must buy and install license keys.
1.
Purchase the licenses. You may have already purchased the additional licensable features
when you ordered the library. If not, visit
https://h30580.www3.hp.com/poeticWeb/
portalintegration/hppWelcome.htm or contact your HP authorized reseller for purchasing
information.
After purchasing the licenses, you receive one or more Software Entitlement Certificates that
show the HP order number, the product number and name, and the quantity ordered.
2. Obtain the license keys. Fill out the required information and follow the instructions on the
Software Entitlement Certificates to obtain your license keys. HP generates the license key
based on the HP order number and the serial number of the library in which the key will be
installed. HP provides you with the license keys via whichever method you specified on the
Software Entitlement Certificate (online, e-mail, or fax).
NOTE: You must use Command View TL to install each license key for the library having the
serial number used to obtain the key. The license cannot be installed for a different library.
3. Use Command View TL to install the license key(s) for your library. This step is described in
detail in
Adding a license key (page 32) .
Configuring host HBA access with HP Secure Manager
Secure Manager gives the library administrator control over which devices in the library (drives
and robotic controller) may be accessed by the various backup hosts on the SAN. Access can be
configured for each FC port on a Host Bus Adapter (HBA). Each port of a dual-port HBA must be
configured separately.
