Host System - HP StorageWorks MSL5000 series User Manual

Operation
Enabling a password at a lower level re-enables disabled higher levels to that
value. As a result, prior to accessing any higher level operation, you are prompted
first to enter the new higher level password.
You can also use a higher level password to gain access to a lower level operation.
For example, use the Service password to access the Move Media operation.
Using the Service password to access the Menu option also gives full access
(without validating) to the Service operations.
Note:
diagnostic cable. Note that any configuration that was previously set will be lost. If
necessary, record all configuration settings before resetting the password.

Host System

Media can also be reserved by software running on the host. The library provides
no GUI touch screen override for this command. Usually, exiting the host software
restores media access. In the event of host failure, you can restore media access by
cycling the library power.

To restore passwords if forgotten, use Set User Defaults using the MSL Utility and
Caution: Do not use Set Factory Defaults or library damage may occur.
