Table 13. Problem Determination with the System Summary Window (continued)
Field Name Action
LAN Attach Ports
A decimal count of the number of LAN attached hosts
that are currently initialized with the 3494. If no hosts are
initialized with the 3494, this shows as a dash. For
example, if there are three hosts initialized with the 3494,
this number is 3. If one host goes down, this number will
change to 2 when the 3494 tries to communicate with
that host.
The number in this field is not, by itself, an indication of
failure. If there seems to be a problem communicating
with a host, choose Status and then select LAN Status
to view the status of all LAN attached hosts. Select the
host in question from the list of hosts and note the last
two columns of the screen. If the host is currently
initialized, the column labeled Init contains a 1.
If a host was initialized and something happened to
cause the host to appear to go down (to the 3494), the
column labeled Init will be a 0, since the 3494 is not
currently initialized with that host, and the column labeled
Prev Init will be a 1, since that host was initialized at one
time with the 3494. This field is only accurate since the
last time the 3494 Library Manager was started.
