Determining the Status of a Controller Card
Controller card status is indicated by LEDs on the card and displayed in SLC (see
"Viewing Device Status and Properties" on page 11-2). You can use the status of the
card to troubleshoot issues with the library.
The LEDs and meanings are the same on both card types (HBC and HBT).
Clearing Library Status Alerts
You can only clear alerts marked as "Clearable" and only if service is active on the
library.
Clearing an alert only removes it from the Status Module display; it does not resolve
the underlying cause. The library health indicator returns to "Normal" if there are no
other device or status alerts. If the alert is subject to periodic updates, it will reappear
at the next update cycle.
1.
In SLC, select Tools > System Detail , and click the Library folder.
2.
Click the Status tab, and then the Status Module tab.

On the Clear Alert Number list, select the alert number to clear, and then click
Apply .
