Menu Trees
The following menus organize operations and commands into logical
groupings:
• The
Setup
menu consists of commands that users with administrative
privileges can use to set up and configure various aspects of the
library, including partitions, I/E station slots, cleaning slots, control
paths, network settings, drive settings, users, notifications, date and
time, licenses, FC I/O blades, library registration, and e-mail.
• The
Operations
menu consists of commands that enable users to
change the library’s mode of operations, import and export
cartridges, load and unload tape drives, move media, perform
diagnostics, and log off. Administrative users can also access
commands to lock or unlock the I/E station and to shut the library
down.
• The
Tools
menu consists of commands that you can use to maintain
your library such as viewing RAS Tickets, generating diagnostic logs,
identifying drives, configuring the internal network, saving and
restoring the library configuration, setting system and security
settings, and updating firmware.
• The
Reports
menu (web client only) consists of summaries of library
information.
A hidden
Service
menu is available to service users with the appropriate
login information.
The menus vary somewhat between the web client and operator panel
user interfaces. Administrative users have access to all menu commands,
but users’ privileges are more limited.
Table 3
lists the web client menus. Some menu commands are available
only to users with administrative privileges. I/O blade menu items are
available for libraries that contain I/O blades.
