1 Introduction

The HP StorageWorks Interface Manager for tape libraries is a management card designed to consolidate and simplify the management of HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series,1 ESL E-Series, and EML E-Series tape libraries. The Interface Manager card provides the following features:

•Simple, unified, graphical setup and configuration of Fibre Channel (FC) interface controllers.

•Remote management of FC interface controllers via a Web-based GUI or command line interface.

•SAN-related diagnostics for key library components, such as interface controllers, drives, and robotics.

•Additional advanced SAN security and management features are available via licensing. These features improve security, performance, reliability, and ease of control.

New features in Command View TL 3.7.00

•Administrator can manually select tapes in a separate media verification partition without interfering with host applications.

•Configurable policies permit periodic scans based on a user-chosen time interval.

•Support for Data verification and Drive Assessment in ESL G3 libraries for LTO5 and LTO6 drives and corresponding supported tapes.

•Manage media verification, configuration, and usage though CVTL while ensuring data is secure.

•Licensing enforcement and management for data verification license for ESL G3 libraries.

•MSL6480 license management via CVTL.

•User notifications of degraded tapes.

•Reports of data verification and drive assessment results.

•Library TapeAssure enhancements including the Library Dashboard with Library TapeAssure graphs.

•Support Remote Data Collection (RDC) for ESL G3, MSL6480, and MSL G3 libraries. SMI-S will implement the TapeAssure profile which can be collected by IRS RDC, and you can configure collection days for the RDC from the CVTL interface.

SNIA compliance

The Storage Management Initiative (SMI) was created by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) to develop and standardize interoperable storage management technologies and aggressively promote them to the storage, networking, and end user communities.

For more information about SNIA and the SMI, see the following website: http://www.snia.org/ smi/home.

The HP StoreEver Command View TL Provider follows the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) and provides an interface for SMI-S compliant applications to manage HP StoreEver tape libraries. See the HP StoreEver Command View for Tape Libraries Software SMI-S Provider installation instructions at http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl for installation instructions.

1.ESL9000 libraries can be added, selected, and managed from the Command View TL 2.0 Launcher, but new features in versions 2.0 and newer are not available on ESL9000.

10 Introduction

NOTE: If installing Command View TL on the same management station as Command View EVA v10.2, special steps must be taken. For full instructions, see the HP StoreEver Command View for Tape Libraries Software SMI-S Provider installation instructions at http://www.hp.com/support/ cvtl.

User interfaces

Four different user interfaces (UIs) can be used to control the Interface Manager card. These UIs are provided by the Interface Manager card or by Command View TL. This chapter explains the purpose and use of each UI. The UIs are as follows:

NOTE: The Interface Manager card is only used with EML and ESL E-Series tape libraries.

•Serial—Uses a command line interface (CLI) and connects directly to the Interface Manager card through an RS232 serial interface rather than through the LAN.

•Telnet—Uses the same CLI as the serial interface, but requires the IP address of the Interface Manager card to initiate the session. This IP address can be set through the Interface Manager card serial interface or cascade port or, on ESL E-Series libraries, through the library Operator Control Panel (OCP). The advantage of using Telnet over the serial interface is that users can Telnet from any client machine that is on the LAN; a separate serial connection is not needed. You can disable Telnet (see set inet telnet (page 206)).

NOTE: If you use Telnet to change the IP address of the Interface Manager card or library, you must log in to a new Telnet session with the new IP address.

•SSH—This protocol uses the same CLI as the Telnet and serial interfaces, but over a more secure channel. Different SSH client applications are available for various operating systems. When connected via SSH, use it in the exact way you would use Telnet.

•Command View TL—Is a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI). This is the preferred UI for controlling the Interface Manager card because it provides the most functionality and should be used in most circumstances. From any client on the LAN, you can use a browser to access Command View TL, which is hosted on a management station. For more information on using Command View TL, see Command View TL GUI (page 15).

You can have multiple sessions open at the same time (serial, Telnet, SSH, or Command View TL). If a write operation is in progress in one session, subsequent write operations for that library from other sessions will be denied.

Network configuration overview

With the EML E-Series tape library, the external LAN communicates directly to the Interface Manager card using the card's network IP address. The Interface Manager card processes requests and relays information to the FC interface controllers.

ESL E-Series libraries contain a private LAN internal to the library. The library cabinet controller provides a bridge between the external LAN and the library internal LAN and Interface Manager card.

ESL E-Series and EML E-Series tape libraries with LTO4 or later tape drives also contain an internal network switch to connect the LTO4 and later tape drives to the Interface Manager or library internal LAN.

(page 12) and (page 13) show how the different UIs communicate with the Interface Manager card in the various libraries.

14 Introduction

2 Command View TL GUI

HP StoreEver Command View TL software provides a browser-based GUI for remote management and monitoring of your Interface Manager card through a LAN. Command View TL is the preferred user interface for controlling the Interface Manager card because it provides the most functionality. In conjunction with the Interface Manager card, Command View TL provides the following:

•Configuration and management of the Interface Manager card and FC interface controllers

•Management of the entire library system

•Hardware inventory and identity information

•Status information for connected hardware

•Error reporting and comprehensive error logs

•Firmware management

•License management

•Access to TapeAssure.

IMPORTANT: While Command View TL is not required to manage ESL G3 and MSL6480 libraries, it is required for TapeAssure functionality. Command View TL can list ESL G3 and MSL6480 in the launcher panel, show the status of the library, and launch the ESL G3 and MSL6480 GUI to a separate browser. Other ESL G3 and MSL6480 features are managed directly through the library GUI. For more information on ESL G3 tape libraries, see HP Enterprise Systems Libraries (ESL) G3 Tape Library User Guide available from http://www.hp.com/support/eslg3.

Command View TL is installed on the management station and communicates with the Interface Manager card through the LAN. The management station processes information from the Interface Manager card and hosts the Command View TL GUI. You can access Command View TL, either from the management station directly or through any client on the LAN, by using a browser-based GUI interface. Multiple Command View TL GUI clients can be open simultaneously across the LAN, and multiple libraries can be managed through the Command View TL software.

NOTE: Prior to version 1.5, Command View for Tape Libraries software was called Command View ESL.

Primary management station

The primary management station is the first management station to manage a library. The primary management station is the only management station that collects and stores TapeAssure data. For best performance, the primary management station should be in the same physical location and on the same IP subnet as the libraries it manages.

IMPORTANT:

To install and run this software on Windows Server 2008, you must either login as Administrator, or perform the following steps:

1.Become a member of the Administrators group using the Server Manager (Start→All Programs→Administrative Tools→Server Manager).

2.If prompted by Internet Explorer, add the hostname of the management station to your Trusted Sites Zone.

3.Launch the Command View TL installer by right-clicking on the executable and selecting Run as Administrator.

No changes are required to remotely browse to a library or management station.

1.If the management station is running firewall software, configure the firewall to enable communication on the ports used by the management station; see Table 2.

If the management station is running anti-virus software, ensure the ports that are used by CVTL are not blocked by the anti-virus software.

The following network ports are used by the management station to communicate with the web browser (Command View TL):

Table 2 Management station to web browser network ports

Port number	Purpose
7	TCP (added in 2.4)
80 (TCP)	bidirectional, HTTP library is a webserver for administration purposes
161	UDP bidirectional, required to communicate SNMP with library

NOTE: The ESL G3 and MSL6480 notifies CVTL of status changes by connecting to CVTL on one port in the range of 162-169. Please ensure your firewall allows connections to each port in this range.

2.Download the Command View TL software from http://www.hp.com/support/cvtl.

3.Save the EXE file to your management station and double-click to execute the Command View TL setup.

4.Follow the instructions in the window to complete the installation.

Command View TL is a web server that hosts a GUI interface to web clients. Command View TL runs on the management station as a service. By default, this service starts automatically whenever the management station is booted, and runs invisibly in the background. In most cases, the default installation settings are adequate.

IMPORTANT: The typical installation does not include SMIS Tape Provider. In order to install SMIS Tape provider, choose the custom installation and select SMIS Tape provider from the features list.

After complete installation of Command View TL , restart Command View TL service to receive Test Alerts when set from CVTL GUI Administrator+Send Insight Remote Support Test Alert.

If you need to stop Command View TL from running on the management station, use the Services applet that is included with Windows. To access the Services applet, select

Start+Settings→Control Panel→Administrative Tools→Services and locate the Command View TL service in the list. Use the Services applet to start and stop services, and to set whether the service is started automatically when the computer is booted. See the online help that comes with the Services applet for more information.

5.The product documentation is located in the docs directory on the Installation CD.

Starting Command View TL

Command View TL requires Adobe Flash Player 10.3 plug-in. If the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 plug-in is not already installed on your computer and you are using a Windows operating system, Command View TL attempts to download and install it for you. If prompted to install the Adobe Flash Player 10.3, click OK and follow the instructions in the window. Otherwise, manually download and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3 on the management station or remote client.

To start Command View TL, open your browser, either on the management station or on a client machine on the LAN, and enter the following URL in the address field:

http://hostname:4095/

(where hostname is the IP address or network name of the management station. If you are starting Command View TL on the management station itself, you can substitute localhost for the hostname).

On the management station, you can also start Command View TL from the Windows Start button:

Start+All Programs→HP Command View TL→Command View TL

Enter your user name and password

The following table lists the user names that are available and the default passwords. For more information about the tasks each user can perform or to change one of these passwords, see Changing library passwords (page 34).

Starting Command View TL 21

Table 9 User names and default passwords

User name	Default password
security	security
admin	admin

NOTE: Multiple users can log in at the same time. If one user is modifying the settings for a library, other modify operations for that library will be denied.

Using Command View TL

The Launcher window has the following menu tabs in the lower left corner:

•Devices—Displays a list of libraries and virtual tape libraries that can be managed by Command View TL. You can add or delete libraries from this list, or select a library to manage.

•TapeAssure—Displays a consolidated summary of drive and tape utilization, advanced health, and performance, for every drive and tape on every library using this management station as its primary management station. It also includes data on the number of uses remaining on the cleaning tapes in these libraries.

•Administration—Displays the network settings of the management station. You can configure these settings.

•Licensing—Provides a convenient way to track and safely store any additional license keys you have purchased for use with tape libraries.

Figure 5 The Launcher window

NOTE: For each library, the status column displays messages such as “Firmware update in progress” or “Cannot communicate with library”. It there are no messages to display, the status column displays the name of the management station that is managing the library or if the library is not currently managed, “Ready to manage”.

Licensing Notes

On initial installation of the Command View TL, you have a 60–day instant-on license period and a subsequent 30–day grace period to install the TapeAssure Advanced license.

22 Command View TL GUI

Instant-on license behavior for devices:

•During instant-on period, all the supported libraries can be added to the CVTL management station regardless of the license that they have.

•Double clicking the library from the devices page will allow the library to be managed.

•During the instant-on and grace periods, if all the libraries are licensed then no messages are visible on the devices page.

For ESL G3/MS6480 libraries:

•During the instant-on period, the library is available to be managed.

•After 90 days, the license expires and a message indicates that you can no longer manage the library.

•If you have a permanent license, you can manage the library.

For EML/ESL libraries:

•During the instant-on period, the library is available to be managed for the first 90 days. (Prior to version 3.0 the license was only available for 60 days.)

•After 90 days, the license expires. A nagging message indicates that the license has expired in the device management screen. However, you can still manage and perform all the operations that were available during the instant-on period.

•If you have a permanent license, you can manage the library.

Testing the Insight Remote Support

The Send Insight Remote Support Test Alert feature allows library administrators to verify the Insight Remote Support installation on the server. The Send Insight Remote Support Test Alert sends a test alert to Insight Remote Support; if Insight Remote Support receives the test alert you can consider the Insight Remote Support installation successful.

CVTL provides an action to trigger an SMI-S Tape Provider event to the Insight Remote Support client/back end. This makes testing of Insight Remote Support installations easy. To test the Insight Remote Support installation, navigate to Administrator→Actions→Send Insight Remote Support Test Alert.

You will receive a message that indicates whether or not the Insight Remote Support alert was sent successfully.

Testing the Insight Remote Support 23

Managing libraries

Device numbering conventions

In some instances, Command View TL numbers devices differently from how they are numbered on the library front panel.

(page 26) shows the device numbering conventions used by Command View TL and by the library front panel (when applicable).

Table 13 Device numbering conventions, GUI

Device	Command View TL	ESL E-Series front panel	EML E-Series front panel
Drives	One-based	One-based	One-based
Drive clusters	n/a	Zero-based1	n/a
Slots	One-based	n/a	One-based
FC interface controllers	One-based	n/a	One-based
FC host port numbers	Zero-based2	n/a	n/a
SCSI bus numbers	Zero-based2	n/a	n/a

1Drive clusters in the ESL E-Series libraries are zero-based, although they are not referred to from the front panel of the library.

2The zero-based numbering of the FC host ports and SCSI busses corresponds to the numbers that are printed on the actual hardware.

Initial configuration steps

After you have successfully installed the Interface Manager card and started Command View TL:

1.Verify that the proxy settings for the management station are correct. See Changing the network settings of the management station (page 33).

2.Add all libraries that will be monitored to Command View TL. See Adding and removing libraries (page 27).

3.Add the license key for Command View TL and any additional features that you have purchased. See Managing license keys (page 31).

4.Change the management station passwords. See Changing library passwords (page 34).

5.Configure the library name, system date and time, and contact information for each library. See Changing the library settings (page 35).

6.Edit the network settings of the Interface Manager card. See Changing the network settings of the Interface Manager card (page 36).

7.(Optional) Configure library partitions. Use Secure Manager (license required) to configure library partitions. Partitioning the library erases all host access configuration settings. See Partitioning a library (page 153).
