Configuring hosts
To configure device access, click Edit next to Host Configuration. From this screen you can create
a host that is not on physically on the SAN, modify the name of a host used within Secure Manager,
or delete a host from access by Secure Manager.
IMPORTANT: Once the host is added to the SAN, verify that the WWPN of the host matches
the WWPN value that was pre-configured.
To create a host:
1. Click Create Host, and then click Next.
2. Enter a name for the host for use within Secure Manager and the WWPN, and then click
Finish.
NOTE: The wizard does not verify that the host exists or is accessible.
NOTE: Using Modify Host to give a discovered host WWPN a more recognizable name
can simplify future configuration changes in a large SAN.
To change the name of a host:
1. Select a host from the list of Current Hosts, click Modify Host, and then click Next.
2. Enter a name for the host for use within Secure Manager, and then click Finish.
To delete a host:
1. Select a host from the list of Current Hosts, click Delete Host, and then click Finish.
2. Verify that you want to delete the host.
NOTE: Deleted hosts will be re-added if they are re-discovered and added to an access control
group.
Maintaining the library
From the Home screen, click or tap on Maintenance to access the library maintenance features.
Performing the system test
The system test exercises overall library functionality by moving cartridges within the library.
• During each cycle the library will move a cartridge from a full slot to an empty slot and then
return it to its original slot. You can select the number of cycles for the test. If the test is
cancelled, the library will return the cartridge to its original slot.
• The library will not move cleaning cartridges during the test.
• The test operates over the whole library and does not take into account partition configuration.
• During the test the library is off line.
