4.8 The Maintenance\Log menu
4.8.1 Introduction
The RLS has a built-in logging facility that can keep track of various system activi-
ties. The settings made in the Configuration\Advanced\Log menu determine which
RLS activities are logged. (See the RLS-8000 Tape Library Installation and Operation
Manual – Qualstar document number 501500). This menu determines which of the
logged items are to be displayed. If an item is set ON, any of its logged data will be
displayed. If an item is set OFF, it will not be displayed. The logging facility is nor-
mally used to analyze complex SCSI interface or Handler operation problems.
The logging system is most effectively used by a field service person who is working
under the direction of a Qualstar Technical Support technician. First, the field service
person reports a problem's symptom(s) to a Qualstar Technical Support technician,
then the technician directs the field service person to look only at problem-specific
logged data. Finally, the logged data is evaluated to help determine the cause of the
problem.
The RLS logs so much data about its internal workings that the data can overwhelm
an inexperienced person. If intermittent or unusual system problems are encoun-
tered, we recommend that the user contact Qualstar's Technical Support Department
