Tape library arrived. Is *big*. And also in surprisingly good condition, because the seller *properly packaged the fucking thing*, even if they had to do a "build-a-box" tape-fest because they didn't have one the right size for it.
It has since been configured to use exclusively IPv6 for the network management interface, because that's what my lab runs on. Thankfully that's only really needed for inventory moves, aka load/unload; AFAIK normal "usage" can hopefully be done via the SCSI media changer interface over the SAS port.
I also confirmed that I do indeed need to bend the drive sled back into shape before it will fit, which is annoying since I won't be able to load the drive for transport to its final destination... (which is also where the tools to fix it are)
