Chapter 2 Understanding The User Interface - Quantum scalar i500 User Manual

Scalar i500 User's Guide
Understanding the User Interface
2
The user interface of Scalar i500 libraries is available in two formats: the
operator panel and the Web client. Operations on the library can be
performed locally on the control module using the operator panel or
remotely on your computer using the Web client. Similar functionality
with common elements is used for both formats.
Both the Web client and operator panel user interfaces are required to
operate the library. Some functionality is only available through the Web
client, and some functionality is only available through the operator
panel. However, using the Web client rather than the operator panel to
perform library operations (when possible) is recommended.
Caution:
This chapter covers:
• Common User Interface Elements
• Operator Panel
• Web Client
• Menu Trees
Do not perform inventory operations (for example,
working with RAS tickets, creating/modifying/deleting
partitions) while the library is performing an inventory.
Doing so may result in inventory discrepancies, such as
missing tape cartridges.
