Remote Management Unit Overview

Your Dell PowerVault 124T LTO-3 autoloader includes an Ethernet interface that allows remote administration. The interface, called the Remote Management
Unit (RMU), includes a Web server that provides a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)-based graphic user interface (GUI) for ease of use.
The RMU performs many of the same functions as the front panel interface. These functions include moving tapes, system operations options, networking
options, security options, running diagnostic tests, and performing system updates.

Default Username and Password

The default username for the Remote Management Unit is admin. The default password is password.
The username and password are case sensitive and should be entered in all lower case letters. The default username and password are valid if no usernames
have been configured.

Opening the Remote Management Unit

The Remote Management Unit has an HTML interface, which means you use a browser to open it. The following Web browsers are supported:
lFor Microsoft®Windows® Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
lFor Microsoft Windows Server®2003 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later (with latest security patches)
lFor Redhat®2.1 Mozilla™1.4.2
lFirefox™1.0
If security is enabled, you need an operator password to access the Library Operations page, and you need an administrator password to access the
Configuration, Error Logs and Diagnostics, and Firmware pages.
When using the RMU with Microsoft Internet Explorer, be sure to enable the Allow META REFRESH option. On version 6.0 of Internet Explorer, this feature is
controlled through the Tools>Internet Options menu selection, under the Security tab.
Use of all Remote Management Unit web pages features requires Java Script to be enabled in the user's web browser.
To open the Remote Management Unit:
1. From your computer, open your Web browser.
2. In the browser's address field, enter the IP address for your autoloader (see "Viewing Ethernet Information").
The Home page appears in your browser window.

Viewing Status Information

NOTE: Only use the Diagnostics commands when the autoloader is known to be idle and unavailable to host backup/restore
applications. If a Diagnostic command is issued during a drive or autoloader operation, the unit will respond that it is busy. However, if a
Diagnostic command is issued and then a backup or restore job runs, that job may fail.
NOTE: To log out of the system, you must close your browser.
