26 Configuration
Installing New Slots
When the new slot (for example, drive) is installed in the physical library, perform the following actions so
that the Scalar DLC logical libraries have the correct reflection of the current hardware.
Step 1 Install the slot(s), make all proper connections according to the library Operator Guide .
Step 2 Execute Teach command from the robot Operator Panel. After the command is finished (that
may take some time) the slot will appear in appropriate range of the physical library.
Step 3 For each newly installed slot, verify the partition settings.
a. If the new slot has appeared in the unpartitioned space, then everything is correct and it can be
used as any other slot after adding to the appropriate partition.
b. If the new slot has appeared in the partitioned space and its type and media domain match the
existing partition properties, it is accessible for every client that can access the appropriate
partition.
c. If the new slot has appeared in the partitioned space and its type and media domain do not
match the existing partition properties (for example, SDLT 220 Drive appeared in the middle of
IBM LTO Drive partition), the newly installed slot becomes
incompatible , and the Management
GUI shows it (see Table 16 on page 73 and Table 15 on page 72).
Admin must manually correct the situation by changing the range of the existing partition until
it will not cover the new (not compatible) slot. Then another partition must be manually created
and assigned to the appropriate logical libraries. Perform a complete
inventory after all
assignments are done.
Viewing Tape Alerts
A drive issues a tape alert whenever there is a problem in the drive that relates to a tape cartridge. The
problem can be with the drive or with the tape cartridge. You can view the tape alerts on the
Tape Alert tab
of your library or you can directly create and view tape alert reports using the Report button. For more
information, see Tape Alert on page 106.
You can access the Tape Alert tab in the following ways:
• To view all tape alerts for your Host PC, use Configuration > Logical , in the Select Components
pane, select the Host PC
• To view cartridge tape alerts, use Configuration > Logical > in the Select Components pane ,
select Cartridges and then choose the appropriate cartridge.
• To view drive tape alerts, Configuration > Logical , in the Select Components pane, select Drives
and then choose the appropriate drive.
You can use the tape alert report functionality to cross-reference tape alerts for drives and tape cartridges
over a specified period of time, in order to determine if the problem belongs to the drive or to a specific tape
cartridge. For more information on the Report tool, refer to
Figure 68 on page 96.
In the Report Criteria dialog box, choose how you want to sort the report and how you want to group the
report. It is possible to limit the report by selected objects:
• Cartridge
• Tape Alert
• Drive
You can export the report into either a spreadsheet file or into a PDF file.
