This section provides an overview of the features that make the T950V
library a highly versatile enterprise storage solution. The library's unique
modular design lets you tailor the library to suit your current data
requirements and easily expand it in the future. Keep up with data growth
and technology changes by adding storage capacity and incorporating new
drive technologies as they become available.

BlueScale Software

The library's BlueScale software lets you set configuration options, view
library and drive information and metrics, manage cartridges, and monitor
library operations. You can access the BlueScale interface using either of
the following methods:
 The BlueScale operator panel interface — v ia the touch screen on the
 The BlueScale web interface — v ia the Remote Library Controller (RLC)
See Chapter 3 – Introducing the BlueScale User Interface, beginning on
page 71, for detailed information about the features and controls provided
by the BlueScale user interface.
Many of the features described in this user guide require your library to be running the
Important
most current version of the BlueScale software. Spectra Logic recommends that you
keep your library's BlueScale software and component firmware up-to-date at all times.
If you are using a previously released BlueScale package, upgrading to the current
release is strongly recommended. See
Firmware on page 391
The BlueScale software includes the following features (listed in
alphabetical order).
Auto Configuration Save
The Auto Configuration Save feature automatically generates a weekly
backup file and replaces the previous backup file on the memory card in
the LCM. The backup file contains the library configuration and the MLM
and DLM databases, as well as the encryption configuration and any
BlueScale encryption keys. A backup file is also automatically generated
and saved whenever a partition is created or modified. See Use Automatic
Backup of the Library Configuration on page 137 for more information.
If desired, the library can email the automatically generated backup file
each time it is created. Having an external copy of the backup file is highly
recommended as it ensures that you can recover the library configuration,
as well as the MLM and DLM databases, in the event of a disaster.
