Menu System
This chapter provides information for using the T10000 menu system as accessed from
the physical operator panel of a rack mount drive. The T10000 tape drive menu system
provides the means to determine the drive configuration settings and access the drive
utilities.
Menu System Overview
The rack mount drive chassis has a physical operator panel on the front panel (see
Figure 2–2) that enables direct access to the menu system. On library-attached drives,
the primary means of accessing the menu system is through the drive's Ethernet
maintenance port and the use of the virtual operator panel (VOP) application. The rack
mount drive tray also has an Ethernet maintenance port for each drive.
Note: VOP is the preferred tool for viewing and changing drive
configuration parameters. Make every effort to use VOP instead of
the physical operator panel on the rack mount drive to view or
change configuration parameters.
The menu system information is described in the following order:
1. "Menu Structure Overview" on page 4-2
2. "Menu Operations" on page 4-2
3. "Online or Offline Menu" on page 4-3
4. "View or Change Configuration Settings" on page 4-3
5. "View or Change TCP/IP Settings" on page 4-16
6. "Drive Operations Menu" on page 4-21
7. "Firmware Release Level Menu" on page 4-24
8. "Exit Menu" on page 4-24
The information describes the menu system as seen from the physical operator panel.
Note: Although the VOP GUI representation is visually very
different from the operator panel view, the information in this
chapter is supplementary to the VOP documentation.
