Accessing On-board Remote Management
The SuperLoader 3A Series provides a remote management Ethernet port
(see
figure 1
) that allows you to access the On-board Remote
Management interface.
This interface includes a Web server that provides a Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML)-based graphic user interface (GUI) for ease of use.
Many of the operations that you perform from the front panel can also be
performed remotely using On-board Remote Management. These
functions include moving tapes, system operations options, networking
options, security options, running diagnostic tests, and performing
system updates.
Note:
The A-Series tape drive Ethernet port is used for normal
operation of the autoloader. You can switch this Ethernet cable
to the autoloader remote management Ethernet port or install
a user-supplied Ethernet cable to this port and your host
network port or router.
Note:
Only use the
Diagnostic
commands when the autoloader is
known to be idle and unavailable to host backup/restore
applications. Use of the
Diagnostic
commands from On-board
Remote Management should not be issued while the
autoloader is being used by host applications. The autoloader
will recognize when the drive or autoloader is executing host
commands and will respond appropriately to prevent
application failures. A
Diagnostic
command issued between
host application commands may not be recognized resulting
in a failed application, such as a failed backup/restore job.
Note:
To log out of the system, you must close your browser to end
the session.
