Solution

Oracle Confidential (INTERNAL). Do not distribute to customers

This Process works for SL3000 library also.

If sdpAlias is not loaded on the site server contact SDP support.

-Root password for both the SL8500 and SDP server is required for procedure.

(SL8500 root password is only available to Level 2 Tape Hardware Support)

(contact SDP support if password is not known for SDP site server)

-If site has more than one ACS per SDP site server we need to configure an alias to re-address port_1A via the root password.

-SDP support will provide site name and site id.

-Use Motive Insight to perform device query to find site.

-Select Site Server and login via SSH.

-Login id-'stkcse'

-At SDP menu select 7 for SDP prompt.

-Should be in the /home/stkcse directory and file named "sdpAlias" should have been copied there by sdp support.

-Secure copy file named "sdpAlias" to /usr/local/bin

"scp sdpAlias [email protected]:/usr/local/bin"

-Enter root password at prompt; copy should complete and status presented as 100%. (SL8500 root password is only available to Level 2 Tape Hardware Support)

-Login into sl8500

"ssh [email protected]"

-Enter root password at prompt: (SL8500 root password is only available to Level 2 Tape Hardware Support)

-Change directory to /usr/local/bin; the same directory sdpAlias was copied to.

"cd /usr/local/bin"

-Verify no alias exist

"sdpAlias show sl8500"

-Add alias

"sdpAlias add sl8500 x y"

(x=2nd octet of target ip address; example 10.x.11.1)

(y=last octet of target ip address; example 10.3.11.y)

-Verify new alias.

"sdpAlias show sl8500"
