Retrieve the Library IP Address

▼	Retrieve the Library IP Address

Use this procedure to retrieve and record the library IP address, which you will use later when you configure the STA connection with the library (see “Configure SNMP Connections With the Library”).

The procedure you follow depends on the library model:

•	“Retrieve the SL500 IP Address”

•	“Retrieve SL3000 or SL8500 IP Addresses”

•	“Retrieve the SL150 IP Address”

▼	Retrieve the SL500 IP Address

Note – You must perform this procedure from the SL Console.

1.	Log in to the library with the SL Console.

2.	Select System Detail > Library > Properties > General.

The library IP address is listed in the “Library Interface TCP/IP” section.

3.	Record the library IP address as the primary library IP address.

4.	Proceed to “Enable ADI on the Library”.

▼	Retrieve SL3000 or SL8500 IP Addresses

Before performing this procedure, you must determine whether you want to configure STA to support either Dual TCP/IP or Redundant Electronics, which are optional features for the library. See “Support for Dual TCP/IP and Redundant Electronics” for details.

Note – You must perform this procedure from the SL Console.

1.	Log in to the library with the SL Console.

2.	Proceed as follows, based on how you want to configure STA:

•	If you want to configure STA to support the optional Dual TCP/IP feature, go to Step 3.

•	If you want to configure STA to support the optional Redundant Electronics feature, go to Step 4.

•	If the library does not include either of these features, go to Step 5.

3.	To retrieve library IP addresses for Dual TCP/IP support:

a.	Select System Detail > Library > Properties > General.

The IP address information is displayed in the Host Interface TCP/IP 2B and 2A sections.

Note – If the library also includes the Redundant Electronics feature, the IP addresses displayed are for the active controller card only.

b.	Record the library IP address(es) as follows:

•	The Primary library IP address is displayed in the 2B section.

•	The secondary library IP address is displayed in the 2A section.

c.	Proceed to Step 6.

4.	To retrieve library IP addresses for Redundant Electronics support:

a.	Select Tools > System Detail, and select the Redundant Electronics folder.

Note – If this folder is not listed, the Redundant Electronics feature is not available on the library.

b.	Verify the following entries in the Device State field:

•	One library controller card indicates “Duplex: software ready, switch is possible”. This is the current active controller and could be either the hbca or hbcb card.

•	The other library controller card indicates “Standby: software ready”. This is the current alternate controller.

These entries indicate that the controller cards are functioning normally. If either entry does not match, then contact your Oracle support representative before proceeding.

c.	Expand the Redundant Electronics folder, and select the active controller card.

d.	Record the IP address of the 2B port.

e.	Repeat Step c and Step d for the alternate (standby) controller card.

5.	To retrieve the IP address for libraries with neither Dual TCP/IP nor Redundant Electronics:

a.	Select Tools > System Detail > Library > Properties > General.

The IP address information is displayed in the Host Interface TCP/IP 2B section. There is no IP address information in the 2A section.

b.	Record the IP address as the primary library IP address.

6.	Proceed to “Verify the Drive Controller Card Version”.

▼	Retrieve the SL150 IP Address

1.	Log in to the library’s browser-based user interface.

2.	Select Settings from the navigation bar on the left side of the interface.

3.	Select the Network tab.

The library IP address is displayed under the Network Port 1 section. (The Network Port 2 section is reserved for service use.)

Note – DHCP should not be enabled. A statically-assigned IP address is recommended for communications with STA.
