Safety
The following pages describe common practices concerning electrical safety, ergonomics,
rack installation, fiber optics, and electrostatic discharge.
■Safety Precautions
WARNING:
Potential injury: On-the-job safety is important; therefore, observe the
following safety precautions while you are engaging in any maintenance
activity. Failing to follow these precautions could result in serious injury.
Remove all conductive jewelry, such as watches and rings, before you
service powered-on equipment.
•Avoid electrical shock. Be careful when you work near power connectors and
supplies.
•Power-off the equipment that is being serviced before you remove a field replaceable
unit (FRU) or other component. Remember that dangerous voltages could still be
present in some areas even though power is off.
•Ground all test equipment and power tools.
•Lift objects properly; read the information in “Lifting Techniques” on page -xviii.
•Do not remove, cut, or relocate any floor tiles indiscriminately. Before you
manipulate floor tiles, be sure that you understand the customer’s environment and
receive the customer’s approval. Remember, each situation is different.
•Enforce good housekeeping practices in the equipment area to help prevent fire and
accidents.
Note: Important things to investigate and to be aware of include the use of Halon®
gas, under-the-floor smoke detectors, and cables to other equipment installed
nearby.
96053Revision Lxvii
■Lifting Techniques
Lifting, regardless of how much or how little, can create serious back stress. If you follow
these guidelines, you can reduce the risk of back injury:
•Do not twist your body to pick up something or to put it down. Twisting puts
extreme pressure on your back, especially when you lift or carry objects. Instead of
twisting, make the task two separate moves; first lift, and then use your feet to turn
your body.
•Plan the lift: first examine the object and then determine how it will be lifted and
where it will be placed.
•Choose the appropriate lifting technique. Examine the weight, size, location,
frequency, and direction of the lift. Plan to avoid awkward postures, and determine if
material-handling aids are needed.
•Place your feet shoulder-width apart, and place one foot a little behind the other.
Keep your back straight because even light loads can significantly increase pressure
on your spine when you lean forward.
•Whenever you can, grip the load with your whole hand, and use two hands.
•Carry objects at elbow height and close to your body. The farther away you hold an
object, the more force it puts on your lower back.
•Lift with your legs instead of your back. Leg muscles are some of the strongest in the
body. When you squat and lift with your legs, you can lift more weight safely.
•Alternate lifting tasks with tasks that are less stressful to the same muscles. This
technique ensures that your muscles have some recovery time.
Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Safety
Follow these guidelines to minimize the possibility of injury to your shoulders, elbows,
wrists, and hands.
•Work within your safety zone—the area between shoulder level and knuckle level of
your lowered hands. You face less chance of injury when you work or lift in this area.
•Keep your elbows bent to keep loads close to your body and to decrease the amount
of force necessary to do the job. If you use this posture, you will put less weight and
pressure on your shoulder.
•Be sure to keep your wrists straight. Avoid bending, extending, or twisting your
wrists for long periods of time.
•Do not use a pinch grip to lift large or heavy loads because the way you lift also can
affect the tendons in your hand. When you grasp an object between your thumb and
fingers, you put a lot of tension on hand and wrist tendons. Use both hands—use
one for a while, and then use the other—to give them rest.
xviiiRevision L96053
■Rack Safety and Precautions
WARNING:
Possible personal injury:
•Lifting hazard: The library weighs 44.45 kg (98 lb) plus the weight of
the drives. Use at least two people and a mechanical device to lift and
position the library. Make sure you read the information in
“Lifting Techniques” on page xviii before beginning.
•Also consider the library’s total weight when you are placing other
equipment into the rack. To prevent an unbalanced situation, install
the heaviest equipment on the bottom and the lightest equipment on
the top. Failure to do so might cause the rack to become unstable
and tip over.
Observe the following safety precautions when you are installing the library into a rack:
•If the rack has front or rear doors, do not allow the doors to interfere with the
library’s ventilation. The rack’s internal ambient temperature should not exceed the
recommended operating temperature range of the library. The maximum rack air
ambient temperature is 40°C (104°F).
•Ensure that rack doors provide adequate clearance to the library.
•Ensure that the combination of the library with other equipment in the rack does not
create an overcurrent condition, whether the equipment is connected directly to the
branch circuit or to a power distribution strip.
•Ensure that all equipment in the rack has reliable earth ground, whether the
equipment is connected directly to the branch circuit or to a power distribution strip.
Note: The library relies on the ground pin of the power cord for its earth ground.
■Fiber-optic Safety
WARNING:
Eye hazard. Never look directly into a fiber-optic cable, a fiber-optic
connector, or a laser transceiver module. Hazardous conditions might
exist from laser power levels that are capable of causing injury to the
eye.
Be especially careful when using optical instruments with this
equipment. Such instruments might increase the likelihood of eye injury.
The laser transceivers in fiber-optic equipment can pose dangers to personal safety.
Ensure that anyone who works with this Sun StorageTek equipment understands these
dangers and follows safety procedures. Ensure that the optical ports of every laser
transceiver module are terminated with an optical connector, a dust plug, or a cover.
96053Revision Lxix
Each fiber-optic interface in this Sun StorageTek Fibre Channel equipment contains a
laser transceiver that is a Class 1 Laser Product. Each laser transceiver has an output of

Fiber-optic Cable Installation
Follow these guidelines when you install fiber-optic cables:
1.Cable routing:
•Raised floor: You may install fiber-optic cables under a raised floor. Route them
away from any obstruction, such as existing cables or other equipment.
•Cable tray or raceway: Place the cables in position; do not pull them through
the cable tray. Route the cables away from sharp corners, ceiling hangers, pipes,
and construction activity.
•Vertical rise len g t h : Leave the cables on the shipping spool, and lower them
from above; do not pull the cables up from below. Use proper cable ties to
secure the cable.
•General: Do not install fiber-optic cables on top of smoke detectors.
xxRevision L96053
2. Cable management:
•Leave at least 4.6 m (15 ft) of cable at each end for future growth.
•Use strain reliefs to prevent the weight of the cable from damaging the
connector.
•Review all information in this manual and in any related manuals about safely
handling fiber-optic cables.
3. Connector protection:
•Insert connectors carefully to prevent damage to the connector or fiber.
•Leave the connector’s protective cover in place until you are ready to make
connections.
•Replace the connector’s protective cover when the connector is disconnected.
•Clean the connector before making a connection. Make sure that there are no
obstructions and that keyways are aligned.
Fiber-optic Cable Handling
Observe these precautions when you handle fiber-optic cables:
•Do not coil the cable to less than 96 mm (3.75 in.) in diameter.
•Do not bend the cable to less than 12 mm (0.5 in.) in radius. It is most important that
a cable’s bend radius be no less than 20 times the diameter of the cable.
•Do not pull on the cables; carefully place them into position.
•Do not grasp the cables with pliers, grippers, or side cutters; do not attach pulling
devices to the cables or connectors.
•Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or wear
through the cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have protective edging.
•Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions.
•Install the connector’s protective cover whenever the connector is not connected.
96053Revision Lxxi
■Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage Prevention
Anyone who handles ESD-sensitive components must be aware of the damage that ESD
can cause to electronic components and must take the proper precautions to prevent it.
Also, anyone who performs maintenance on Sun StorageTek equipment must complete
an ESD-basics course.
CAUTION:
Potential damage to equipment: Handle ESD-sensitive components only
under ESD-protected conditions. To meet this requirement, always use
the Field Service Grounding Kit (PN 4711) and always follow these ESD
precautions and procedures when you are servicing Sun StorageTek
equipment or handling ESD-sensitive components.
ESD Precautions
Always take the following general precautions when you work with ESD-sensitive
components:
•Wear ESD protection whenever you install, remove, maintain, or repair Sun
StorageTek equipment.
•Keep ESD-sensitive printed-circuit components in their ESD-protective packages
until you have taken all ESD-preventive steps and you are ready to install the

Seguridad
Las siguientes páginas describen prácticas habituales sobre seguridad eléctrica,
ergonomía, instalación en bastidor, fibras ópticas y descargas electrostáticas.
■Precauciones de seguridad
ADVERTENCIA:
Posibles lesiones: la seguridad durante el trabajo es importante; por
ello, atienda a las siguientes precauciones de seguridad mientras esté
realizando alguna actividad de mantenimiento. El incumplimiento de
dichas precauciones puede conllevar graves lesiones.
Antes de realizar cualquier tarea en equipos eléctricos conectados,
quítese las joyas y accesorios conductores de electricidad, como relojes
y anillos.
•Evite las descargas eléctricas. Tenga cuidado al trabajar en la proximidades de
conectores y alimentaciones eléctricas.
•Antes de extraer unidad sustituible in situ u otro componente, apague el equipo y
desconéctelo de la red eléctrica. Recuerde que, incluso si están apagados, en algunas
áreas pueden quedar tensiones peligrosas.
•Ponga a tierra todos los equipos de prueba y herramientas eléctricas.
•Para levantar objetos, consulte la información de “Técnicas de levantamiento de
objetos” (véase a continuación).
•No quite, corte ni cambie de lugar indiscriminadamente las baldosas. Antes de
manipular baldosas, asegúrese de conocer el entorno del cliente y de recibir su
autorización. Recuerde que cada situación es diferente.
•Aplique las prácticas adecuadas de limpieza en el área del equipo para prevenir
incendios y accidentes.
Nota: Entre los factores importantes que deben tenerse en cuenta es la presencia de gas
Halón®, detectores de humo subterráneos y cables conductores a otros equipos
instalados en las proximidades.
96053Revision Lxxv
Técnicas de levantamiento de objetos
El levantar equipos o componentes, independientemente de su peso o tamaño, puede
provocar serias lesiones lumbares. Siguiendo estas directrices podrá reducir los riesgos
de
lesiones.
•No incline el cuerpo para levantar o bajar algo. Esta posición supone una tensión
extrema para la espalda, en especial al levantar o transportar objetos. En lugar de
inclinarse, efectúe dos movimientos: primero levante el componente y, a
continuación, utilice los pies para girar el cuerpo.
•Planifique el levantamiento: primero examine el objeto y, a continuación, determine
cómo lo levantará y dónde lo colocará.
•Seleccione la técnica de levantamiento adecuada. Examine el peso y tamaño del
objeto, su ubicación y frecuencia y dirección en que vaya a levantarlo. La planificación
debe hacerse de tal modo que se eviten posturas incómodas. Determine si son
necesarios accesorios para la manipulación de materiales.
•Separe bien las piernas y coloque una ligeramente detrás de la otra. Mantenga la
espalda recta, porque incluso pesos ligeros pueden incrementar significativamente
la
presión sobre la espina dorsal al inclinarse hacia adelante.
•En la medida de lo posible, sostenga la carga con toda la mano, y utilice ambas
manos.
•Transporte los objetos a la altura del codo y próximos a su cuerpo. Cuanto más lejos
tenga que transportar un objeto, más presión aplicará sobre la zona lumbar.
•Levante el objeto haciendo fuerza con las piernas, y no con la espalda. Los músculos
de las piernas se cuentan entre los más fuertes del cuerpo. Al acuclillarse y levantar un
peso con las piernas, tendrá mayor tolerancia al peso.
•Alterne estas tareas con otras menos pesadas para los mismos músculos. De este
modo, los músculos dispondrán de un cierto tiempo de recuperación.
Seguridad de hombros, codos, muñecas y manos
Siga estas instrucciones para reducir al mínimo las posibilidades de lesionarse los
hombros, codos, muñecas y manos.
•Trabaje dentro de su zona de seguridad, el área entre el nivel de los hombros y el nivel
de los nudillos. Trabajando o levantando objetos dentro de esta área se expondrá a
menos probabilidades de lesiones.
•Mantenga los codos inclinados para mantener las cargas próximas a su cuerpo y
reducir la fuerza necesaria para realizar la tarea. Con esta postura, aplicará menos
peso y presión sobre los hombros.
•Asegúrese de mantener las muñecas rectas. Evite doblarlas, extenderlas o torcerlas
durante períodos de tiempo prolongados.
xxviRevision L96053
•No levante cargas grandes o pesadas con el puño cerrado, porque el modo de
levantarlas también afecta a los tendones de la mano. Al tomar un objeto entre el
pulgar y los dedos se aplica mucha tensión a las manos y tendones de las muñecas.
Utilice ambas manos alternativamente, para permitir que descansen.
■Seguridad y precauciones del bastidor
ADVERTENCIA:
Posibilidad de lesiones físicas:
•Peligro de levantamiento: La biblioteca pesa 44,45 kg (98 lb), a lo que
hay que añadir el peso de las unidades. Para levantar la biblioteca y
colocarla en su posición se requieren como mínimo dos personas.
Antes de poner manos a la obra, asegúrese de leer la información
presentada en
página xxvi.
•Al colocar otros equipos en el bastidor, considere también el peso
total de la biblioteca. Para evitar un desequilibrio de la carga,
coloque los equipos más pesados abajo y los más ligeros arriba.
De
lo contrario, el bastidor podría desestabilizarse y caerse.
“Técnicas de levantamiento de objetos” en la
Al instalar la biblioteca en el bastidor, adopte las siguientes precauciones de seguridad:
•Si el bastidor tiene puertas delanteras o traseras, no permita que las puertas interfieran
con la ventilación de la biblioteca. La temperatura ambiente en el interior del bastidor
no debe ser superior a la temperatura de servicio recomendada de la biblioteca.
La
temperatura ambiente máxima del interior del bastidor es de 40 °C (104 °F).
•Asegúrese de que las puertas del bastidor permitan el acceso adecuado a la biblioteca.
•Asegúrese de que la combinación de la biblioteca con otros equipos instalados en el
bastidor no provoque situaciones de sobretensión, tanto si el equipo está conectado
directamente al circuito derivado o a una regleta de distribución.
•Asegúrese de que todos los equipos del bastidor dispongan de una puesta a tierra
fiable, tanto si el equipo está directamente conectado al circuito derivado o a una
regleta de distribución
Nota: La puesta a tierra de la biblioteca se conecta a través de la patilla de puesta
tierra del enchufe.

Choosing SCSI HVD or LVD
Your library interface is hardware configured as either high voltage differential (HVD) or
low voltage differential (LVD). The HVD interface allows longer cable lengths, but
throughput is slower than LVD. The LVD interface restricts cable lengths, but provides
faster throughput.
CAUTION:
Potential equipment damage: Do not mix LVD and HVD operation on the
same bus.
SCSI Cable Restrictions
The library and drives accept only SCSI Type-3 connectors. If you use SCSI Type-1 or -2
connectors, you must use a SCSI Type-1- or SCSI Type-2-to-SCSI Type-3 adapter.
Note: If you are connecting the library or drives to an LVD SCSI bus, the cable can be
no longer than 12 m (39.4 ft).
Each interface requires a unique terminator.
The following table lists restrictions for SCSI connections.

Installing the External Fibre Channel Router
To install the optional external Fibre Channel router, refer to StorageNet 3300 Fibre
Channel Router User Manual, Chapter 2.
If installing an external fibre channel router to replace an internal fibre channel router
card, remove the internal fibre channel router card. Refer to the L40 Tape Library Service Manual, PN 96026.
Connecting the External SCSI Cables
Note: You can connect the library and drives to the same bus (on bus) or to separate
buses (off bus). However, for the on bus configuration, a bus reset will affect all
devices on the bus. Library availability can be improved by ensuring that the
library is on a separate bus from the drives.
You should be familiar with SCSI principles to correctly cable your system.
The library supports the use of:
•Digital linear tape (DLT) 7000E/8000 drives on an HVD interface
•DLT 8000 drives on an LVD interface
•Ultrium linear tape open (LTO) drives on an LVD interface (native) or on an HVD
interface (with an optional converter card that is on the drive tray assembly when
ordered as HVD from Storage Technology Corporation)
•DLT1 drives on an LVD interface (native) or on an HVD interface (with optional
converter card)
To attach SCSI cables:
1.Attach a SCSI daisy-chain cable to one rear SCSI port on the drive. These cables
should be at least 300
drive slot, or 600 mm (1.97 ft) if connecting from the LLC card to the bottom drive
slot. If you have an internal Fibre Channel router installed, use the 600 mm (1.97 ft.)
cable to reach from the LLC card to the drive slots.
2.Connect the client-server cable to the library.
Note: Make sure you properly set the SCSI IDs for the drives and library, or you might
stop activity on the SCSI bus. You will set the IDs when you configure the
library and drives.
3.Install the provided terminator on the remaining SCSI port of the lowest drive that is
installed, and on the client server computer, if required:

Attaching the Cell Barrier Clip
If your library is a 20-cell version, the tape management software only recognizes the data
cells that are in Column 0 and the top nine cells of Column 1. To remind the operator to
not place data cartridges into the other cells, attach the cell barrier clip, as shown in the
following figure.
Use the PERS MODULE Menu on the operator panel to determine your library’s cell
capacity.

Depending on the version and configuration of your library, some storage cells cannot be
used. Read the legend on the page following
CAUTION:
Inserting the cartridges correctly is critical for library operation. If you
do not orient the cartridges correctly or do not insert them all the way
into the storage cells, the library might fail, and the operator panel might
display an error message. Make sure you insert the cartridge inside the
black array, not above or beneath it.
correct way to insert cartridges into storage cells.
Do not place a white cartridge into cell 1022d (see Figure 1-3 on
page 1-21), or you will cause an initialization failure.
Check the cartridges to make sure that they are correctly labeled, as described in the user’s
guide.
Figure 1-3 on page 1-21.
Figure 1-4 on page 1-22 shows the
The media check feature, if enabled, ensures that there are no unreadable, unlabeled, or
improperly placed cartridges. If the robot cannot grab one of these cartridges, the library
status will be “not ready.”
Note: You do not have to insert a cartridge into every storage cell. The library
automatically audits cartridges and empty cells as part of its initialization routine.
Insert as many cartridges into the library as you want and as your configuration allows,
making sure you seat them all the way into the storage cells.

Drive Compatibility Issues
Refer to your drive publications and the vendor Web sites for a detailed discussion of
drives and cartridges.
The library supports the following drives:
•Ultrium Linear Tape-Open (LTO) drives
LTO technology was developed by IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Seagate to provide a
clear and viable choice in an increasingly complex array of tape storage options. LTO
is an “open format’ technology, which means that users will have multiple sources of
product and media. The open nature of LTO technology also provides a means of
enabling compatibility among different vendor’s offerings.
-Hewlett-Packard’s LTO 1, LTO 2, and LTO 3
-IBM’s LTO 1, LTO 2, and LTO 3
-Quantum’s (Certance) LTO 2 and LTO 3
-Seagate LTO 1 and LTO 2
•Digital Linear Tape (DLT) drives:
•Quantum Corporation’s DLT 7000E, DLT 8000, and Super DLT 220, 320 and
600
•Benchmark Storage Innovations, Inc’s DLT1
Standard Installation Procedure
You may mix drive types within a library, but please observe the following cautions and
tables:
CAUTION:
Possible data corruption: Do not mix DLT 7000 and DLT 8000 drives in
the same library. If a DLT 7000 cartridge is inserted into a DLT 8000 drive,
the tape can be read and written on in 7000 mode. If a DLT 8000 cartridge
is inserted into a DLT 7000 drive and a read command is issued, the
drive will indicate Medium Error/Calibration Error (03/8000). If a write
command is issued at load point, as with most drives, the drive will write
over any data present.
CAUTION:
Data loss: Do not mount SDLT 320-formatted cartridges into SDLT 220
drives. An SDLT 220 drive will overwrite the 320 data. To avoid this,
carefully manage the locations of the cartridges within your library, and
designate the correct drive type for your read/write operations.
Do not mix LVD and HVD operations on the same bus.
DLT1 drives use only DLTtape IV cartridges, and can read—but not write to—
DLTtape IV cartridges formatted by DLT 4000 drives.
DLT1 drives use their own cleaning cartridge, part 100099401. Do not use this
cartridge in DLT drives.

Standard Installation Procedure
Installing the Drives
See “Drive Compatibility Issues” on page 1-23.
If you are installing an SDLT 600 drive, make sure that Field Bill 102181 was
installed. The field bill replaces the internal fan finger guard with a perforated
steel plate to comply with emissions standards.
Use the information in the following paragraphs if you ordered a library that did not have
the drives already installed, or if you want to add more drives to your library.
Note: Because the drive is part of the drive tray assembly, you will actually be installing
the assembly.
You should always add drives by starting at the empty slot nearest the top and working
downward. The drive numbers are assigned from top (0) to bottom (3). By adding drives
in this order, the client software will correctly reflect the drives previously installed.
If you already have some drives installed, observe these precautions before beginning:
CAUTION:
Possible data loss or system problem: If you must disconnect the
external SCSI cables, make sure that you stop all processes attached to
this system.
•If the drives are daisy-chained, stop all data processing on the channel to which the
drives are connected before disconnecting the drives.
•Make sure that there is no activity on the SCSI bus before disconnecting the external
SCSI cables. Stop all processes on the client-server computer.
•Make sure that all signals are terminated at each end of the SCSI bus.
•Do not mix single-ended and differential terminators.
WARNING:
Lifting hazard: Depending upon the drive type, each drive and tray
weighs between 5.0 kg (11 lb) and 5.8 kg (12.7 lb). Make sure you follow
the lifting instructions in

SNMP
This appendix provides the implementation of the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
■Overview
Sun StorageTek’s L-series libraries support Version 1 of the simple network management
protocol (SNMPv1). SNMP is an application layer protocol that performs network
management operations over an Ethernet connection using a User Datagram Protocol
(UDP/IP). Library microcode 2.11 or higher supports SNMP.
SNMP allows systems administrators to query the library for configuration, operation,
and statistical information. SNMP also allows the library to inform the systems
administrator of potential problems.
Systems administrators and network managers use SNMP to monitor and receive status
from the library, such as:
•Operational state of the library (such as microcode level, serial number, online)
•Status of the cartridge access port (such as open, closed, number of cells)
•Library elements (number of hands, columns, panels, cells, CAPs)
•Number of storage cells and media types stored in the library
•Number and types of drives installed in the library
•Many other variables defined in the database
A
Figure A-1 on page A-2 illustrates a simple network block diagram that identifies the
locations of the SNMP software application, DNS servers, and Library Admin. This
figure also identifies the IP addresses, shows a map of DNS names (library names), and
other components involved in that configuration (such as operator panel, Ethernet
connections, location of the Management Information Base (MIB), and the LLC card.

2. To configure the library to support DNS.
Note: You must enter the Domain Name Service (DNS) configuration only if your Simplified Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) agent is set to trap named recipients; if SNMP is set for numbered
recipients (by using IP addresses), no entries are required.
3. An example of a table that matches IP addresses to selected DNS names.
4. SNMP software application that implements the role of manager. Some applications include:
HP Open View
IBM NetView
Sun Microsystems SunNet Manager
5. The MIB is stored on the LLC card. To view the contents of the MIB database, enter:
http://IP.Address/Lseries.mib or http://library_name/Lseries.mib
6. Library Admin. is an optional feature for the library. It provides the GUI-based monitoring system and is
separate from the SNMP application. Library Admin provides an easy and convenient way to configure
the library SNMP agent using a network configuration panel or screen. Library Admin also provides
other beneficial functions and display screens for the library.
A-2Revision L96053
■SNMP Terms
SNMP uses a manager/agent structure, a database, and a small set of commands to
exchange information. SNMP terms include:
•Agent–A module that resides in a managed device. The agent is responsible for
responding to requests from the manager and for sending traps to a recipient that
inform the systems administrator of potential problems.
•Community String–Applications use community strings for access control. The
manager includes the community string in its SNMP messages to an agent. The agent
consequently can accept or reject the operation.
•Managed device–A device that hosts the services of an SNMP agent that provides
monitored information and controlled operations using SNMP. L-Series libraries are
managed devices.
•Management Information Base (MIB)–A collection of information stored in a
database that contains configuration and statistical information for a managed
device. For L-Series libraries, a copy of the MIB is loaded with microcode and stored
on the LLC card. See
information about the MIB.
SNMP Terms
“Management Information Base” on page A-4 for more
•Manager–A thing that provides the communication link between the systems
administrator and the managed devices on the network. A manager station or server
allows the systems administrator to get information about the device through the
MIB and to receive traps from an agent.
•Recipient–A location on a manager where the SNMP agent sends traps. This
location is defined by the combination of either the IP address or DNS name and the
port number. The default recipient port number is 162.
•Trap–A message that reports a problem, error, or a significant event that occurred
within the device.
96053Revision LA-3
SNMP Commands
■SNMP Commands
SNMPv1 offers a limited number of commands that follow a simple request/response
exchange to communicate between the manager and the agent.
The manager issues request such as:
•Get–A request for information of a specific variable.
•GetNext–A request for the next specific variable.
•Set–A request to change the value of a specific variable.
The agent responds with:
•Get-Response–A response to the manager’s Get and GetNext commands.
•Trap–An asynchronous message to the recipient about an error or event.
Refer to the SNMP software documentation for additional information.
■Access Control
Because community strings provide a weak form of access control in SNMPv1, Sun
StorageTek’s embedded agent will not rely on the so called “private” community string in
order to accept changes to the library’s configuration. Access control and authorization
for Set operations is performed by using an administrative password. Consequently, Sun
StorageTek’s embedded agent uses only one community string for both Get and Set
operations.
■Management Information Base
The MIB is a viewable document that contains descriptions about the characteristics for a
managed device. These characteristics are the functional elements for that device which
can be monitored using SNMP software.
To access and view the contents of the MIB using a Web browser, enter the IP Address
or library name and Lseries.mib. For example: http://IP.Address/Lseries.mib library_name/Lseries.mib.
Note: Sun StorageTek’s L-series libraries implement only MIB extensions defined in
the LSERIES-TAPE-LIBRARY-MIB under the private (4) section as shown in
Figure A-2 on page A-5.
Figure A-2 on page A-5 shows the MIB hierarchy as a tree structure where the

Configuration
■Configuration
Three ways to configure the library to support SNMP are:
•Library Admin, an optional feature for the library, but it is not required to support
SNMP.
•The CLI port (command line interface)
See Figure A-3 for examples of the help and help snmp commands.
•The SNMP software application—you can also use any SNMP application to change
some of the agent’s settings. You must be MIB-aware and refer to the L-series.mib for
specific information.
