SL Console Diagnostics and Utilities

Library Events

The library controller continually monitors library operations and logs all events.
Events are stored under three headings:
Communication events—Includes host-to-library, library-to-library, and library-to-
■
drive communications.
Error event—Each error event is assigned a four-digit (hexadecimal) action code.
■
Warning events—Indicate a loss of performance or conditions that may be indicative
■
of future, fatal errors.

Event Monitors

You or your Sun support representative can use the SL Console monitors to review
library events. You can spool the event monitor information to a text file.
The following information can help to diagnose the cause of the event:
Date/time stamp—Identifies when the event occurred.
■
Action codes—Identifies the command that was issued, such as "load drive".
■
Result codes—Identifies the result of the requested action.
■
Known service plan (KSP) diagnosis—Identifies the mechanism or component
■
responsible for the task or fault.
Note – There is no option to clear the event log.
