HP StoreEver MSL6480 Tape Library User and Service Guide

Command View TL software is installed on a management station. The management station can
also be used to manage HP EML and ESL Tape Libraries. For best performance, the management
station should be in the same physical location and on the same IP subnet as the library. Command
View TL software is available for download without charge from the HP website at http://
www.hp.com/support/cvtl.
For information on installing and using Command View TL, see the HP Interface Manager and
Command View TL User Guide, available from the HP website at http://www.hp.com/support/
cvtl.
Command View TL support is included in all library firmware that supports LTO-5 and later
generation tape drives. To find and download the most up-to-date firmware revision, visit the HP
support website at http://www.hp.com/support.
Secure Manager
With Secure Manager, you can configure hosts and drives into access control groups that are
managed by the library. With Secure Manager enabled, the drives are not visible to hosts that
are logged in to the SAN and so the host will not see the drives by default. For the host to see a
drive, the host must be configured into an access control group with the drive.
Secure Manager only supports LTO-4 and later generation FC drives; LTO-3 and SAS drives are
not supported. The RMI displays LTO3 drives, SAS hosts, and SAS drives with gray text. The only
Secure Manager function you can perform on the items is to change the name of a SAS host.
To use Secure Manager, you must understand your FC environment and which hosts to group with
which drives. Once Secure Manager is enabled, you will not see drives or libraries from hosts that
are outside their group. Without Secure Manager enabled, a host will see a drive on the SAS as
soon as the link is up.
Secure Manager is a licensed feature and can only be enabled after the license has been added
to the library.
