Using the Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard simplifies the process of configuring the library by guiding you through the necessary setup screens.
If you are initially configuring the library, you must first configure the network settings using the Setup Wizard on the operator panel user interface. After the network settings are configured, you can use the Setup Wizard on the web client to configure the remaining library settings. After the initial configuration of the library is complete, you can also use the Setup Wizard to modify library settings.
 |
NOTE: After the initial configuration of the library, you can also use the operations listed under the Setup menu to modify library settings.

The following library settings can be configured using the Setup Wizard on the web client user interface:
- License keys — Library comes with a default number of pre-activated slots. If you purchased additional slots, you can enter a license key for those slots.
- Date and time — Date and time must be configured. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) can be enabled, but it is disabled by default.
- Cleaning slots — Zero cleaning slots are configured by default.
- Import/export (I/E) station slots — Six I/E slots are configured by default. You cannot configure I/E station slots if cartridges are currently loaded in the I/E station.
- Partitions — The default is the number of distinct combinations of tape drive interfaces (SCSI, FC, SAS) and vendors of the tape drives that are not currently assigned to a partition. The library groups tape drives according to their interface/vendor type combinations and assigns available resources, such as storage slots, proportionately among the partitions. The minimum number of partitions you can create using the Setup Wizard is the same as the default. The maximum number of partitions you can create is equal to the number of tape drives in the library. You may also choose to create zero partitions using the setup wizard, and instead create partitions later (see Automatically Creating Partitions). If you want different tape drive interface/vendor types within the same partition, you must create the partitions manually (see Manually Creating Partitions).
Users with administrative privileges can use the Setup Wizard, but users with user privileges cannot.

NOTE: Setup Wizard operations should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrative users logged in from different locations. You can access the Setup Wizard screens, but you cannot apply changes to the Setup Wizard - Licensing screen or to the Setup Wizard - Confirm Settings screen while another administrative user is performing the same operation.
