8.1. How to Take Memory Dumps of the Loader
1. Log in to the remote management interface as Administrator.
2. Navigate to Maintenance
→
Debugging.
3. Click “Memory dump”.
4. Select “Save to disk” in the file download dialog box.
5. Use a zip utility to compress the downloaded memory image.
6. Send the zipped memory image as an email attachment to technical support.
NOTE: The memory image contains the passwords for the StorageLoader. If you do not want
to compromise them, clear them first by changing them to nothing or some harmless value,
see Chapter 4.6.1. The Maintenance Menus.
8.2. Hardware checking
1. The StorageLoader uses one SCSI/SAS ID for both the tape-drive and loader robotics. The
tape-drive use LUN-0 and the loader LUN-1. Verify that the drive SCSI ID is set to a unique
SCSI ID, which is not used by any other SCSI device on the same bus and that the SCSI HBA
is set for multiple LUNs. Depending on other devices attached to the same SCSI bus and their
SCSI IDs, you may need to change the SCSI ID of the tape drive before you can use the
autoloader.
2. (SCSI only) Verify that the system recognizes the tape drive and the loader during the boot
process.
3. Verify that the SCSI/SAS host adapter recognizes the tape drive during its initialization.
4. Verify that the status on the loader’s front panel interface is OK.
5. Verify that the power cable is inserted correctly.
