CoD Feature for the Spectra 2000 Library

Introduction

About this Guide

This guide describes the method for implementing CoD, Spectra Logic’s capacity-on­demand feature, in the Spectra 2000 library.

About CoD

CoD gives you the ability to double the storage capacity in your Spectra 2000 library
(from 15 slots to 30 slots) as it is needed. CoD is the most cost-effective and efficient
way to meet the growing data storage needs of your Spectra 2000 library while
eliminating the risk factors associated with planning for this growth.

CoD is a feature available only on Spectra 2000 libraries with Fibre Channel and
Ethernet interfaces.

Estimated Time Required

This procedure should take less than 10 minutes (not including time for cable setup or
HyperTerminal configuration, if necessary).

Materials and Tools Required

To upgrade your library with CoD, you will need the following:

• A CoD-enabled Spectra 2000 library.

- You can verify if you have a CoD-enabled library by checking the part number on
the rear panel of the library. CoD-enabled libraries have the number 3 in the sixth
position in the part number. For example: 9087X3XX-X-XXX.

• A TAOS firmware level of 4.1 or above.

- If you need assistance checking your current firmware level or assistance updating
your library firmware, contact Spectra Logic Technical Support at [phone]
or at [phone], extension 3175.

• A 15-slot data cartridge magazine (DCM), P.N. 90870652.

- Two 15-slot DCMs were shipped with your library. If you cannot locate your
second DCM, you will need to order a new one in order to use CoD.

• A CoD Activation Key for the Spectra 2000 library, P.N. 90870034.

- See How to Proceed on page 5.

How to Proceed

Once you have verified that your Spectra 2000 library is able to accept CoD (having the
correct library part number and correct TAOS firmware level), you are ready to get the
CoD Activation Key from Spectra Logic. Since the Activation Key is unique for each
library, it is necessary to provide Spectra Logic with the Library Identifier for the library
that you are upgrading.

After you have obtained the Library Identifier, you can purchase a CoD Activation Key
by contacting Spectra Logic Sales at [phone] or [phone]. With the
Activation Key, you are ready to upgrade the capacity in your library.

Upgrade Methods

If you are using the HTTP method to upgrade your library, proceed to one of the
following as necesssary:

• Locate the Library Identifier via HTTP Interface on page 6.

• Upgrade Library Capacity via HTTP Interface on page 9.

If you are using the serial port method to upgrade your library, proceed to one of the
following as necesssary:

• Locate the Library Identifier via Serial Port Interface on page 12.

• Upgrade Library Capacity via Serial Port Interface on page 14.

Locate the Library Identifier via HTTP Interface

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the library you would like to

configure, you will need to configure it via the serial port.

1. Open your Internet browser.

2. In the Address field, enter the IP address of the device you would like to

configure. The Configuration Utility screen appears (Figure 1).

Note: Where the words FIREFROG “FIREFROG-6” appear in the screen above,

your screen will instead show the device name for your library as
was assigned by the administrator.

3. Select the Configure button.

4. Enter your password and select Enter. The Administration and Configuration
screen appears (Figure 3).

Note: If you do not know your password, you can reset or disable the

configuration password for the library via the serial port interface.
See Disabling Your Password on page 13.

Locate the Library Identifier via Serial Port Interface

Connect to the Serial Port

1. Connect a serial cable to the library (the diagnostic port located by the serial

number tag).

2. Use a serial port terminal emulation application (such as HyperTerminal) running
on a host computer.

The serial port settings are as follows:

 Bits per second (BAUD): 115200

- In the event that your library does not have a 115.2K BAUD label located
beneath the diagnostic serial port, set the bits per second to 9600.

 Data bits: 8
 Parity: None
 Stop bits: 1
 Flow control: None

3. Press the Enter key.

 If you see the FCCS> prompt, enter usermenu.

The TAOS Configuration Menu appears (Figure 9).

CoD Feature for the Spectra 2000 Library

Install the Second DCM

You will need to install the second DCM in order to have physical access to all 30 slots
in the library once CoD is enabled.

1. Remove the DCM from its protective packaging.

2. Connect power to the library and turn it on.

You will see the picker move and then stop to rest at the bottom of the library.

You will then see the rotation of the DCM, so that the first DCM installed now
faces the back of the library.

3. Use the library door key to open the library door.

4. Position the second DCM so that the holes on the left side of the DCM match the

pegs inside the library (Figure 13).

5. Firmly press it into its place.

You will hear it snap into place when it fits correctly.

6. Close and lock the library door.

7. Proceed to Verify CoD Configuration on page 17.

Holes

Figure 13 The holes on the side of the DCM should match
the pegs inside the library (vertical library shown).

Verify CoD Configuration

Within the Physical Library

Before the library was enabled for CoD, the robotic picker only took inventory of the
first 15 cartridge slots located in the front DCM.

When the library reboots after CoD is enabled, the robotic picker inside the library will
take inventory of all 30 slots (both the front and rear DCMs) in the library. You will
notice this when, during the inventory process, the 30-cartridge DCM mechanism
rotates, bringing the rear DCM to the front in order to take full inventory.

You can also verify CoD configuration:

• Via HTTP, below, or

• Via Serial Port Connection on page 18.

Via HTTP

Verify your configuration of CoD via HTTP by using the following procedure.

1. In the Configuration Utility screen, select the Configure button; the Enter TAOS
Configuration Password screen appears.

2. Enter your password and select Enter; the Administration and Configuration
screen appears.

3. Select Options Enablement; the Options Enablement screen appears.

4. Look near the bottom of the screen under the heading Enabled Option

Description. The circle next to CoD should no longer be grayed out, but should
be filled with a black dot (Figure 14).

Figure 14 The Enabled Options Description, showing CoD enabled for 30 slots.

CoD Feature for the Spectra 2000 Library

Via Serial Port Connection

Verify your configuration of CoD via serial port connection by using the following
procedure.

1. Select 7 to enable options; the Option Enablement Menu appears.

2. Look at the line for Full Storage Capacity (30 slots).

It should now show Licensed/Enabled (Figure 15).

Finish

You have now successfully completed the process to upgrade the capacity of your
Spectra 2000 library by using CoD.

If You Need Assistance

If you need assistance with any part of this upgrade, call Spectra Logic Technical
Support at [phone] or at [phone], extension 3175. Inform the support
representative that you are installing CoD on your Spectra 2000 library.
