Log In to the Library

▼	Log In to the Library

Use this procedure to log in to the library. Before performing this procedure, you must obtain the following information from your storage administrator.

•	IP address or fully qualified DNS alias of the library

Note – For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries in which the Redundant Electronics feature has been installed and activated, this must be the IP address of the currently active controller.

•	Password for the admin username on the library

Note – See “Library User Interfaces” for important information about the available login methods.

The log-in method depends on the library model:

•	“With the CLI (all libraries except SL150)”

•	“With the SL Console (all libraries except SL150)”

•	“With the SL150 User Interface”

▼	With the CLI (all libraries except SL150)

1.	Start a terminal emulator on your PC or workstation.

2.	Establish an SSH (secure shell) connection to the library using the IP address or DNS alias given to you by your storage administrator.

3.	Log in to the CLI using the admin username and the password given to you by your storage administrator.

SL500 Example

▼	With the SL Console (all libraries except SL150)

1.	Start the SL Console application on your PC or workstation.

The Login screen appears.

2.	Click the About button to display the current SL Console version and verify that it meets the STA minimum requirements.

Note – If it does not, you must install the proper version before proceeding. See the library User’s Guide for detailed instructions.

3.	Click Close to return to the Login screen.

4.	Enter your login information.

User ID: admin
Password: password
Library: library_ID

where:

•	User ID is `admin`.

•	`password` is the password assigned to this username.

•	`library_ID` is the library to which you want to connect, expressed in either of the following ways:

•	IP address of the library

•	Fully qualified DNS alias of the library

5.	Click Log on.

Note – For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries in which the Redundant Electronics feature has been installed and activated, you can only log in to the active controller. If you attempt to log in to the standby controller, the following error is displayed. You must retry, using the correct library ID.

▼	With the SL150 User Interface

1.	In a compatible browser, such as Mozilla Firefox, navigate to the hostname or IP address of the SL150 library.

Note – If this is your first time navigating to the library, you will be prompted to allow your browser to accept the connection.

2.	When the Log In dialog appears, enter your user name in the User ID text field.

Note – The User ID must have the role of administrator.

3.	Enter your password in the Password text field.
