Using Library Status Tool

Requirements

To use the Library Status Tool you must:

• Make sure the library is powered-on and initialized.

• Set up the following network configuration using the operator panel on the library:

• The IP address for the library name

• The subnet mask

• The network gateway

Note: See “Configuring the Network” on page 2-7 to set up the above values.

• Use Internet Explorer (5.0 or later) or Netscape (4.5 or later) as the Web browsers.

• Install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) plug-in version 1.4 or later on the host

computer. You can download the Java plug-in from http://java.sun.com

• Connect a standard 10baseT Ethernet cable to the library's Ethernet port. This

enables the Library Status Tool to communicate with the library.

Setting up Java Policy Permissions

Before using the Library Status Tool to load code or save reports, you must use the

policytool from Sun Microsystems to set appropriate permissions. Use of the policytool

is required because the Library Status Tool, a Web interface, uses non-signed Java applets.

To set up permissions:

1. Create folders on your computer hard drive to save reports (for example,

c:\reports) and load code (for example, c:\code).

2. To load code, download the appropriate code version from the following Web site on

to your computer:

http://www.support.storagetek.com

3. From your computer, launch the Java policytool. The Java policytool is located in the

Java installation directory (for example, C:\jdk1.3.0_02\bin).

The file is called policytool in UNIX and policytool.exe in Microsoft® Windows®.

4. If you have already set up a policy file for the library, the policy file name with the full

path is displayed. Click Edit Policy Entry.

If you don't have a policy file for the library:

a. An error window is displayed stating it Could not find policy file

<path/filename>. Write down the full path and filename mentioned in the

error window and click OK. This filename is used to save the policy in Step 9.

b. Click Add Policy Entry.
