MSL6000 module configuration

[Stephen Houck]

Does anyone know how to change the module configuration for a MSL600 tape library from a standalone to a slave. The master is not recognizing it for this reason. I cannot find or I am missing this in the documentation.

From the manual:

Configuring the Slave Libraries
To configure the remaining libraries as slaves:
1. Using the GUI touch screen on a standalone library in a rack enclosure, touch
the Menu button from the Status screen (see Figure 25 on page 49).
2. Touch the Library button from the Edit Options area of the GUI (see
Figure 26 on page 50).
Note: The library status LED indicator flashes green to indicate that a change is being
made on the GUI that interrupts the current library operation.
3. Enter the appropriate Service password and then touch the Validate button.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks MSL5000 and MSL 6000 Series Tape Library
User Guide for additional information on setting passwords.
4. Touch the down arrow (â ¼) until the Module Configuration menu option
appears on the bottom of the display (see Figure 27 on page 51).
Note: You can move to the next sequential Library options screen by touching the down
arrow (â ¼). To return to the previous Library options screen, touch the up arrow (â ²) or
Back button to return to the Menu screen.
5. Touch the button next to the Module Configuration menu option and then
touch the Slave button (see Figure 28 on page 52).
6. Touch the Save button to confirm your request.
7. Touch OK to save the new option. Afterwards, the library will automatically
reboot and be configured for the new option (see Figure 29 on page 53).
Note: After the library reboots, the library status LED indicator lights solid green
indicating that the library is now fully operational.
8. Repeat this procedure to configure the remaining libraries as slaves.
The multi-unit library configuration is now ready to verify firmware.
