Library Management - Spectra Logic Spectra T950V User Manual

Chapter 3 — Introducing the BlueScale User Interface

Library Management

The library management features in the BlueScale user interface provide
maximum configurability and ease of use for the T950V library. To take full
advantage of the library's versatility, read the following overview of the
library's management features.
Automatic Email Alerts
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) lets users receive library status
information via email. When the library generates messages through the
library controller, it automatically sends email notifications to users who
are configured to receive them. Information included in the notification
consists of the message number, severity, details, remedy, and the time it
was generated. Message types are Information, Error, Warning, and Fatal
(see System Messages on page 146). You can select the types of messages
each library user receives (see Configure Mail Users on page 107).
AutoSupport
AutoSupport guides you through the process of sending email regarding
library problems — a long with library logs and configuration
information — d irectly to internal support personnel or Spectra Logic
Technical Support. See Chapter 11 – Configuring and Using AutoSupport,
beginning on page 300 for detailed information.
Online Access to Spectra Logic
When the library is set up with access to the Internet, the bottom portion of
the user interface web page displays technical tips, allows one‐click access to
Spectra Logic's Knowledge Base, streamlines the online ordering of media
and capacity, and more. Online access can be enabled or disabled during any
browser session (see Disable Online Access to Spectra Logic on page 102).
The setting of online access to Spectra Logic does not affect AutoSupport.
User Security
Library users are assigned to one of three groups, each with its own set of
pre‐defined library privileges (also known as permissions). These privileges
determine the type of operations a user can perform on the library and are
the primary means for configuring library security. See Configuring Library
Users on page 91 for detailed information about users.

Guide for information about the encryption user.
