4.8.2 Data Logging – General Description
For display purposes only, each data class can be turned on or off from the Display
Log menu, depending upon the kind of problem the user is trying to solve. Since the
log may contain a great many items, it may be helpful to turn off the data categories
that the user is not interested in at the moment, so that there will be fewer log en-
tries to view.
Turning a logged data class on or off using the Maintenance menu only
affects the display of data; it does not determine which data gets logged (see NOTE be-
low).
NOTE
Use the Configuration menu to control which categories of information get logged. Since
the data log memory size is fixed, turning off unwanted data categories frees up log
memory space for the data categories that the user wishes to log. Refer to the Configu-
ration\Advanced\Log section in the RLS-8000 Tape Library Installation and Operation
Manual (Qualstar document number 501500) for details.
• Maintenance\Log\CLEAR command
CAUTION
Invoking the CLEAR command clears the entire data log.
•
Maintenance\Log\LOCK command
This command locks the log so that no entries can be changed or new ones add-
ed.
•
Maintenance\Log\UNLOCK command
This command unlocks the log and allows data to be tabulated.
A complete description of all of the possible data logged by the RLS is beyond
the scope of field service requirements and is therefore not included in this
manual. The logging system is most effectively used by a field service person
who is working under the direction of a Qualstar Technical Support technician.
