Chapter 1 — Library Overview
Hardware Health Monitoring
BlueScale Hardware Health Monitoring (HHM) tracks maintenance
thresholds for key robotic components and notifies you when a
maintenance threshold is reached. You can click the maintenance icon on
the status bar to send the AutoSupport Log (ASL) file to Spectra Logic
Technical Support so they can review the log file and determine if any
maintenance tasks are needed. See Using BlueScale Hardware Health
Monitoring on page 327 for more information.
Media Lifecycle Management
BlueScale Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) helps you manage your
tape media by giving you tools to proactively determine potential media
errors before they happen. See Chapter 6 – Configuring and Managing
Partitions, beginning on page 160 and Chapter 9 – Configuring and Using
Media Lifecycle Management, beginning on page 245 for detailed
information about configuring and using the MLM features.
Remote Support
The remote support feature uses a remote web access application,
WebEx™, to facilitate remote problem diagnosis. Remote support
preserves your organization's site and data security, giving Spectra Logic
Technical Support limited access to your library. With WebEx, Technical
Support can "drive" the library, taking enough control to gather the data
required to speed understanding of the problem. See Remote Support Icon
on page 81 for more information.
Shared Library Services (SLS) Partitioning
The library uses Shared Library Services (SLS) virtualization technology to
partition the library into virtual libraries. SLS partitioning is an option you
can add to the library by purchasing an activation key from Spectra Logic.
See Library Partitions on page 51 for detailed information about how
partitions function in the library. See Chapter 6 – Configuring and
Managing Partitions, beginning on page 160 for detailed information about
configuring and using partitions.
Soft Power Control
The Soft Power option disables the front panel power button and instead
enables a "soft power" button on the General Status screen of the BlueScale
user interface. Enabling the Soft Power option prevents unauthorized users
from powering the library off using the front panel power switch. See Use
the Soft Power Feature on page 144 for more information.
