B Configure the Network for the SL4000
The SL4000 network configuration differs from that of older tape libraries such as the SL8500 and SL3000. This section provides procedures on how to configure the network with an SL4000.
The SL4000 Modular Library System has an internal tape drive network which requires only a single connection to Oracle Key Manager (OKM) rather than individual connections to each encryption-enabled tape drive.
The following devices must be on the same network subnet:
- SL4000 OKM network port
- Key Management Appliances (KMAs) that require network connectivity with the SL4000 tape drives
In the examples provided in this document, 10.80.46.89 is the SL4000 OkmIpv4Address.
