Goal

E-Delivery Hardware Activation Information.

This is the SILKs replacement for activating hardware upgrades on the SL500, SL3000, and SL8500 libraries. For downlevel libraries, the old SILKs process must be used.

Solution

To access the E-Delivery files, go to this website: https://edelivery.oracle.com/

The Oracle StorageTek Hardware File within this download activates a billable feature for the SL500 Library.
It should not be installed unless the correlating feature has been purchased via your Oracle Sales Representative.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to use the E-Delivery Hardware Activation files the following Oracle StorageTek Library firmware must be installed and operational.

SL500 - 1409 or higher (currently available)
SL3000 - 3.0x or higher (available second quarter of 2011)
SL8500 - 7.0x or higher (available second quarter of 2011)

Before proceeding, contact your Service Representative if your library code is not at the minimal level listed above.

Ensure that Oracle StorageTek Library Console (SLC) 4.75 or higher for SL500, or 5.00 or higher for SL3000/8500, is installed and operational on a Windows, Linux, or Solaris platform that has Ethernet access to the desired Oracle SLseries library.
