Library Monitoring

Library Monitoring
The library can be monitored using SLC or Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). Additionally, service representatives can use the Log SnapShot feature to
collect logs from the controller cards.

StorageTek Library Console (SLC)

SLC is a GUI application for configuring, monitoring, and managing the SL3000
library. SLC is included with the purchase of an SL3000 library. You can access SLC
from the local operator panel, a workstation, or through a browser. For installation
requirements and additional information, refer to
Console"

Simple Network Management Protocol

The SL3000 library supports SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 (preferred). For more
information, refer to the SNMP Reference Guide.

Log SnapShot Feature

Log SnapShot gathers, compresses, and encrypts library logs. You can use the CLI or
SLC to generate a log snapshot and send it to an Oracle representative to assist with
troubleshooting.

Media Validation

The SL3000 library supports media validation, which allows you to verify the integrity
of T10000 cartridges using SLC or StorageTek Tape Analytics (STA). The following
validation methods are available: Basic Verify, Standard Verify, and Complete Verify.
For more information about media validation using SLC, refer to
Cartridge"
refer to the STA documentation on OTN.

Library Management Software

Library management software controls the library by allocating drives and requesting
library operations, such as entering, mounting, dismounting, and ejecting cartridges.
Library management software manages the library database, which tracks volume
identifiers (vol-ids), attributes, and locations of cartridges.
There are two main library management options:

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
