If you have a second accessor, the screen displays the status for both accessors. If a
cartridge is present in a gripper, the screen displays the cartridge's volume serial
(VOLSER) number. If no cartridge is present, the screen indicates that the gripper is
Operational
. If the screen displays
Failed
and a cartridge's VOLSER, a problem has
occurred with that cartridge. If the screen simply displays
Failed
, the gripper is empty
but broken, and a message about its failed status is reported to the Activity screen. If
the library cannot read the VOLSER, the screen displays
Unknown
. For libraries that use
both LTO and 3592 media, the Accessor Status screen lists the type of gripper for that
media. 3592 media is represented as
3592
and LTO Ultrium media is represented as
LTO
.
To show current status, the Accessor Status screen refreshes every 10 seconds.
