Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is an application layer protocol that performs network management operations
over an Ethernet connection. SNMP allows libraries to inform the system
administrator of potential problems and system administrators to query the library for
configuration, operation, and statistical information using SNMP traps. The SL3000
library supports SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 (preferred).
This functionality requires the use of a Management Information Base (MIB) on the
controller card. The MIB contains information that specifically describe the library,
components, and configuration. For more information, refer to the SL3000 SNMP
Reference Guide.

Log SnapShot Feature

The Log SnapShot feature is a utility that gathers, compresses, and encrypts logs from
a given controller card or from an entire library such as the SL3000 library. A log
snapshot can be generated using the CLI or SLConsole. Only authorized Oracle
engineers or service representatives have access to the data obtained from the Log
SnapShot utility.

Library Management Software

Library management software controls the library hardware and manages the library
database. When the library is operating in automated mode, cartridge mount and
dismount operations occur without manual intervention. Using audit data uploaded
from the library, the software:
Tracks volume identifiers (vol-ids), attributes, and locations of cartridges
■
Allocates drives and requests library operations, such as entering, mounting,
■
dismounting, and ejecting cartridges

Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS)

ACSLS is a centralized, multi-platform library management software product for an
open-systems environment. ACSLS manages all library operations and shares library
resources with any ACSLS-enabled application. A single instance of ACSLS can
manage multiple libraries. The key benefits of ACSLS include:
Centralized library control across multiple StorageTek libraries, including legacy
■
technology
Optimized library performance by load-balancing hardware and executing
■
parallel commands
Reduced downtime through dynamic configuration capabilities and queuing
■
commands during short-term library outages
Enriched reporting and management capabilities for ease of use
■
ACSLS version 7.3 or greater is required for interfacing with the SL3000 library. ACSLS
7.3 requires PUT 0801 for AEM support.
