Viewing and E-Mailing the Command History Logs

When FC I/O blades are installed, administrative users can use the Command History Log screens to view
the most recent command and response activity that has occurred with externally addressable library
devices, controller LUNs, partitions, and tape drives. This information can help you isolate the source of an
issue, such as a library device or host application.
You can select any configured I/O blade in the library and display a list of associated library devices. For
each device, you can view the command history log. You can also choose to e-mail the command history
to a specific e-mail address. The log is sent as a text file attached to an e-mail message.
Before you can e-mail the command history log, the library e-mail account must be configured. For
information on setting up the e-mail account, see
Configuring Your Library.
You cannot view command history logs from the Web clientweb client. The path to open the appropriate
screen is as follows:
• From the operator panel, select Tools > Command History Log.

Interpreting LEDs

LEDs provide a visual indication about the status of certain library components. LEDs can sometimes
communicate that a problem exists when RAS tickets cannot. For example, an LED can indicate a firmware
problem that prohibits the library from generating RAS tickets.
The following components of the library have LEDs:
• Library Control Blade (LCB)
• FC I/O Blade
• FC I/O Fan Blade
• Tape drives
• Power supplies
Some of these components may also include a fibre port link LED.
