This dialog box allows you to define connection details for a library that you want to connect to STA.
This dialog box appears when you click the Add or Edit icon on the SNMP Monitored Libraries Toolbar.
Library Complex
Display only.
Library complex ID. This ID is automatically generated by STA when you successfully retrieve the latest library configuration data.
Library Name
Required.
Enter the name you want to assign to the library. This name will be used to identify the library throughout the STA screens. You may want to use the library host name.
Library Primary IP Address
Required.
Enter the IP address of the public port on the library. For SL150 libraries, this is the Network Port 1 port; for SL500 libraries, it is the 1B port; for SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, it is the 2B port.
Note – For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries using the Redundant Electronics feature, this is the 2B port on the active controller card.
Library Secondary IP Address
This field does not apply to SL150 and SL500 libraries and should be left blank.
For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, your entry in this field depends on the specific configuration of the library. This entry enables STA to maintain uninterrupted SNMP communications with the library in the event of either a Redundant Electronics switch or a Dual TCP/IP failover.
STA IP Address
Required.
The menu lists all available IP addresses for the STA server. Select the IPv4 address the library should use to send SNMP data to the server. If there is more than one listed and you are not sure which one to use, see your STA administrator for assistance.
Library Engine ID
Do not modify this field. This is the unique SNMP engine ID of the library. It is automatically provided by the library whenever a library data collection is performed.
Automated Daily Data Refresh
Enter the time of day when you want STA to collect the latest configuration data from the library. The data will be collected automatically every 24 hours at this time, local to the time zone you specify in the Time Zone field.
The default is 00:00 (12:00 am). Use 24-hour time format for your entry (for example, 13:00 is 1:00 pm).
Note – It is recommended that you choose a time period when there is typically lighter library usage, so the data collection does not conflict with other significant library activity.
Caution – If you leave this field blank, scheduled automatic library data collections will be disabled. This will cause your STA library configuration data to become out of sync with the library.
Time Zone
In the menu, select the library’s local time zone.
Save
Click to apply your entries.
Cancel
Click to dismiss this dialog box without applying your entries.
