tape drives in question. The TapeAssure Service is not required for drives installed in EML or ESL tape
libraries.
Prerequisites
l WEBES 6.3
l HP SIM 6.3
l Command View TL version 2.8 or higher
l TapeAssure service v1.1 or higher (required for standalone drives only)
Command View for Tape Libraries and TapeAssure
Service Installation
1. Install Command View TL 2.8 or higher. It is available at: http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl.
Important: Select Custom Installation to ensure that the Command View TL SMI-S provider is
installed too.
2. If you want to monitor standalone tape drives (those not in a tape library), install the TapeAssure
service. It is available at: http://www.hp.com/go/tapeassure.
Configure the Command View TL 2.8 CIMOM and
TapeAssure Provider
1. In Windows Computer Management Local Users and Groups, create a TapeAssure CIMOM
user. Record the user name and password.
2. If not already created, create the two new user groups: HP Storage Admins and HP Storage
Users.
3. Add the TapeAssure CIMOM user to the following three user groups: Administrators, HP
Storage Admins and HP Storage Users.
4. If WMI is being used on this server, you may need to change the TapeAssure CIMOM HTTPS
(secure) port number to something other than 5989. HP suggests port 15989.
Edit the CIMOM configuration file cxws.properties in the C:\Program Files\Hewlett-
Packard\SMI-S\CXWSCimom\config folder to reflect the new port number in the line
cxws.https.port=15989.
5. Restart the HP StorageWorks CIM Object Manager service so it uses the new port number.
6. In Command View TL, add the Tape Libraries to be managed into the Command View TL Launcher
window. Library Selection Actions Add Library.
7. Select the TapeAssure tab and check that the managed libraries appear in the TapeAssure Overview
window. For standalone tape drives (those not in a tape library), a host name will be shown instead of
a library name. Host names may not appear until new alerts are received from the TapeAssure
service on that host.
