Library Manager
User Interface
Password-Protection

The library manager processes all requests and control functions in the library.
The user interface enables the operator to obtain information about the operation of
the library and instructs the library manager to perform specific tasks through the
use of the library manager console (display, keyboard, and pointing device).
Password-protection for the level of authorization is optional. The user interface
recognizes the following three authorization levels:
General operator
A general operator performs the day-to-day basic interactions with the
library. This is generally limited to inquiries about the library status or to
perform cartridge insert and eject operations. A general operator has a
limited level of authorization.
System administrator
A system administrator is an operator with additional training on the
management of not only the library but of the data also. The system
administrator typically handles the initial installation of volumes into the
library and the problem resolution with volumes during operation. The
system administrator has authorization access to all functions of the library,
except for those uniquely related to the service and repair of the library.
Service representative
The service representative has full authorization access to all functions of
the library.
The following functions of the library manager can be protected by a password if
the customer chooses to use password-protection:
v Service menu
v Inventory new storage
v Re-inventory complete system
v Emergency power off (EPO) recovery
v Shutdown
v Keyboard and display lockup
v System administrator to unlock
v Unlock keyboard and display
v Service Access
v Cancel VTS Export/Import
Each time a user enters a part of the application where a password is required,
then enters a password, a log entry is made at the library manager. Exiting a
protected menu also creates a log entry. See "System Administrator Password" on
page 200 for more information.
