Finding a Location

To avoid damage, the library must be positioned in a stable location. Refer to the Servers and Storage Systems Safety,

Environmental, and Regulatory information document listed in Other Documents You Might Need for more information on

finding an optimal location for your library.

WARNING: The power outlet must be available near the library and must be easily accessible.

Details on positioning the library include:

•Make sure a power source (only of the type marked on the product label) is available. See Library Specifications for

power requirements.

•Route any cables to avoid walking on them or pinching them with items placed on or against them. Pay particular

attention to the cord at the wall receptacle and the point where the cord exits from the library.

•Make sure that objects will not fall and liquids will not spill into the library's chassis through openings.

may have been included with your purchase. Please call 1 800 945 3355 to schedule professional installation of your

PowerVault library.

To properly and safely rack-mount the PowerVault ML6000, see the rack-mount instructions in Installing, Removing, and

Replacing.

Before Running and Configuring the Library

NOTE: The PowerVault ML6000 can take up to 30 minutes to perform the initial boot. It is not safe to power cycle the

library until the Setup Wizard appears in the operator panel.

NOTE: Initial power-on and initialization should occur prior to loading media. Excessive initialization time can occur

with media loaded

Initial Administrative Login ID and Password Information

•Login ID: admin

• Password: password

Setup Wizard

If you time out of the Setup Wizard or do not complete all the Setup Wizard screens, the library will apply the default

configuration settings as well as any modifications you made. See Default Configuration Settings for more information.

Configuration Details

NOTE: You must use the Web client to manually create partitions. At the initial power-on, partitions can only be

created automatically via the operator panel user interface.

•If your PowerVault ML6000 will be configured with zero I/E station slots, be sure to complete bulk loading of tape

cartridges before configuring partitions. You may also bulk load tape cartridges while the system is powered down. For

Setting Up the PowerVault ML6000 Library

file:///T|/htdocs/stor-sys/ML6000/en/html/ch01.htm[9/17/2012 1:49:11 PM]

more information on bulk loading, see Running Your Library For more details regarding configuring I/E station slots,

see Configuring Your Library.

•When configuring network settings for the Default Gateway, you must enter a valid IP address. The library will not

accept a blank value or 0.0.0.0.

•Before updating library firmware, be sure to save the library configuration. For instructions, see Saving and Restoring

the Library Configuration.

•When drive topology changes are made, the library state may need updating before the partition can be used. To

update the library state, perform one of the following actions:

•Change the partition state to offline and change the state back to online.

•Open the library door and close the door 10 seconds later.

•Remove the drive from the rear of the library and insert the drive 1 minute later.

•Reboot the library.

CAUTION: Please check your host backup software documentation for driver requirements. If Windows drivers are

required, either the Windows default driver may be used (recommended), or the PowerVault ML6000 device-specific

device driver can be found at http://support.dell.com. To avoid a possible performance reduction in a SAN

environment, please consult Microsoft Knowledge Base article 842411 when using device-specific drivers.

Library Features

Licensable Features

The PowerVault ML6000 tape library automates the retrieval, storage, and management of tape cartridges. Tape cartridges

are stored in the library and mounted and dismounted from tape drives using firmware running on the library or software

running on the host systems.

The PowerVault ML6000 tape library offers advanced management features and reliability as well as scalable performance and

storage capacity. As your storage capacity and tape drive requirements change, 9U Library Expansion Modules can be added

to the library, allowing a configuration of up to a full 41 rack units (41U, where 1U = 1.75").

Library Configuration

The PowerVault ML6000 library is designed for ease of installation, configuration, and field upgrades. The PowerVault ML6000

library is built upon two basic building blocks: the 5U Library Control Module and 9U Library Expansion Module.

These building blocks form the basis of the following library configurations:

•The ML6010 CM is a 5U Library Control Module. Figure 1 shows the front view of the ML6010 CM.

•The ML6020 CM consists of one (1) ML6010 CM 5U Library Control Module and one (1) PowerVault ML6000 EM

9U Library Expansion Module (14U total). Figure 2 shows the front view of the ML6020 CM.

•The ML6030 CM consists of one (1) ML6010 CM 5U Library Control Module and two (2) PowerVault ML6000 EM

9U Library Expansion Modules (23U total). Figure 3 shows the front view of the ML6030 CM.

In addition, the ML6030 CM configuration can be expanded as follows:

•The ML6030 CM plus one (1) PowerVault ML6000 EM 9U Library Expansion Module (32U total)

•The ML6030 CM plus two (2) PowerVault ML6000 EM Library 9U Expansion Modules (41U total)

Warning: All libraries taller than 14U must be installed in a rack having a main protective earthing

(grounding) terminal, and power must be supplied via an industrial plug and socket-outlet and/or an

appliance coupler complying with IEC 60309 (or an equivalent national standard) and having a protective

earth (ground) conductor with a cross- sectional area of at least 1.5 mm2 (14 AWG).

To ensure proper airflow and access space, allow 60 cm (24 inches) in the front and back of the library.

Caution: ML6030 (and higher) CM and Expansion Modules require professional installation. Professional installation

may have been included with your purchase. Please call 1 800 945 3355 to schedule professional installation of your

PowerVault library.

Modules

PowerVault ML6000 libraries are modular, and you can increase the size at any time. The three base systems for the

PowerVault ML6000 library are as follows:

•ML6010 CM (5U rack height)

•ML6020 CM (14U rack height)

•ML6030 CM (23U rack height)

These configurations can be scaled up by adding PowerVault ML6000 EM 9U Library Expansion Modules to a maximum rack
