Determine Configuration Parameters

Use TABLE 1 ‑5 to define the configuration parameters that you will use to configure the connection between the library and the STA server.

You can use the following optional script to display the library CLI commands. It will step you through the library configuration process, request data to be entered, and then display the commands that can be copied and pasted into the library CLI.

/Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common/bin/STA-lib-config-steps.sh

Note – Execute the script using the sh command. Be sure to read and understand the library configuration steps in this chapter before executing the script.

Complete the STA / Library Configuration Parameters Worksheet, TABLE 1 ‑5 below, for your site. Then, proceed to “Log In to the Library”.

Note – SNMP v3 is the recommended protocol for SNMP communications between STA and the libraries. Depending on your site requirements, however, you may choose to use v2c. TABLE 1 ‑5 assumes you will be using the recommended v3 configuration. See Appendix A, “Configuring SNMP v2c Mode” for information on configuring the v2c protocol.

**TABLE 1‑5** STA / Library Configuration Parameters Worksheet (Sheet 1 of 3)
Parameter	Description	Where Used	My Setting
SNMP v2c community	SNMP v2c community string. Note: This step may be required even if you will be using SNMP v3 for STA-library communications.	Ensure an SNMP v2c User
SNMP v3 user name	SNMP v3 user you create on the library. The STA server listens for traps sent by this user. Must be the same on all libraries.	Create an SNMP v3 User Configure SNMP Client Settings for STA
SNMP v3 user authorization password	Authorization password you assign to the SNMP v3 user.	Create an SNMP v3 User Create an SNMP v3 Trap Recipient Configure SNMP Client Settings for STA
SNMP v3 user privacy password	Privacy password you assign to the SNMP v3 user.	Create an SNMP v3 User Create an SNMP v3 Trap Recipient Configure SNMP Client Settings for STA
SNMP traps	Traps that the library v3 user sends. Must match exactly the pre-defined list of traps the STA server listens for. SL3000 and SL8500 libraries do not support trap level “4”.	Create an SNMP v3 Trap Recipient	1,2,3,4,11,21, 25,27,41,45,61, 63,65,81,85,100
STA server IP address	IP address assigned to the STA server.	Create an SNMP v3 Trap Recipient Configure SNMP Connec tions With the Library
SNMP v3 recipient name	SNMP v3 trap recipient name you assign to the STA server. Must be the same on all libraries.	Create an SNMP v3 Trap Recipient
Library SNMP engine ID	Globally unique SNMP engine ID assigned to the library	Create an SNMP v3 Trap Recipient Configure SNMP Connec tions With the Library
Primary library IP address	IP address of the public port on the library controller card. For SL500 libraries, this is the 1B port. For SL150 libraries, this is Network Port 1. For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, this is the 2B port. For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries using the Redundant Electronics feature, this is specifically the 2B port on the active controller card.	Configure SNMP Connec tions With the Library
Secondary library IP address	Applies only to SL3000 and SL8500 libraries using the Dual TCP/IP or Redundant Electronics feature. See “Sup port for Dual TCP/IP and Redundant Electronics” for guidelines on selecting the IP address to use.	Configure SNMP Connec tions With the Library
Enable ADI interface	Enables the ADI drive interface on the library for LTO drives.	Enable ADI on the Library
Volume label formatting for SL500 libraries (two procedures)	Ensures the correct format of volume serial numbers sent to the STA server through SNMP.	Set the SL500 Volume Label Format
Volume label formatting for SL150 libraries	Ensures the correct format of volume serial numbers sent to the STA server through SNMP.	Set the SL150 Volume Label Format
Drive clean warning	Applies to SL3000 and SL8500 libraries only. Indicates whether a drive warning should be issued whenever a library drive needs cleaning.	Set the Drive Cleaning Warning
Complex ID	Applies to SL8500 libraries only. Complex ID assigned to each unique library complex monitored by STA.	Ensure the Correct Library Complex ID
