Troubleshooting
•
A Save dialog allows you to specify where you want to save the tape drive sled log files file.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions, see your library's online Help. To access the online Help system, click the Help icon at
the top right of the Web client or operator panel user interface.
You cannot retrieve tape drive sled logs from the operator panel. The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
•
From the Web client, select Tools > Drive Operations
Identifying FC I/O Blades
Administrators can flash the green LED on a selected FC I/O blade to identify the physical location of the I/O blade in the
library. After performing this blade operation, go to the back of the library and identify the I/O blade with the rapidly blinking
LED at the bottom of the FC I/O blade. The LED will blink for one minute.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the Web client, select Setup > I/O Blades > Blade Control
•
From the operator panel, select Setup > I/O Blades > Blade Control > Identify Blade
Permanently Removing FC I/O Blades
Library firmware monitors all FC I/O blades after they are installed in the library. Once an I/O blade is installed, the library
expects the blade to be in the same installed location after every power cycle.
If an FC I/O blade is relocated or is permanently removed from the library, the library firmware must be configured to stop
monitoring the blade. Administrators can perform this operation by selecting the FC I/O blade and performing the remove
blade operation on the Setup - Blade Control screen. If this is not done and the library continues to monitor a removed FC
I/O blade, RAS tickets could be generated.
You do not need to configure the library to stop monitoring an FC I/O blade if the failed blade is replaced with a new blade.
For instructions on how to remove and replace an FC I/O Blade, see
Performing the remove blade operation will cause a temporary loss of communication with connected hosts. The screen will
display a warning message about the communication loss and ask you to confirm that you want to proceed.
Note:
Before permanently removing the FC I/O blade, verify the location of the FC I/O blade. See
Blades.
Note:
This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different
locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is
performing the same operation.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
•
From the Web client, select Setup > IO Blades > Blade Control.
From the operator panel, select Setup > IO Blades > Blade Control > Remove Blade.

Resetting FC I/O Blade Ports
Administrators can reset individual ports on FC I/O blades. Resetting these ports can help troubleshoot FC I/O blade issues.
The Setup - Blade Control screen allows you to perform the Reset Port operation on a selected FC I/O blade port.
Resetting an FC I/O blade port will cause a temporary loss of communication with connected hosts. The screen will display a
warning message about the communication loss and ask you to confirm that you want to proceed.
Note:
This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different
locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is
performing the same operation.
Note:
Before resetting FC I/O blade ports, verify the location of the FC I/O blade. See
