• Media — This subsystem represents media components, such as cartridges and barcode labels.
Each subsystem button will be in one of three states indicated by color. The three states are:
• Green — No RAS tickets exist for this subsystem, or, if any tickets do exist, they have all been closed.
• Yellow — The library contains open or unopened, low-severity (Severity 3) or high-severity (Severity 2) RAS tickets
for this subsystem.
• Red — The library contains open or unopened urgent (Severity 1) RAS tickets for this subsystem.
If the color of a subsystem button is red or yellow, you can click the button to display the corresponding RAS Tickets screen.
This screen lists library, drives, or media RAS tickets, depending on which button was selected. RAS tickets display in order of
last occurrence of each event, starting with the most recent.
Note: Last Occurrence indicates the last time a ticket event occurred. This information updates any time the event
recurs. Last Occurrence does NOT update if you open, close, or resolve the RAS Ticket.
You can change the order in which the RAS tickets are displayed by clicking any header item (for example, Severity, Last
Occurrence, or Name).
On the Web client, you can view closed tickets by selecting the Include Closed Tickets checkbox.
You can also open the All RAS Tickets screen by selecting Tools > All RAS Tickets. See
About RAS Tickets for more
information about RAS tickets.
Home Page
The home page is common to both the operator panel and the Web client. The home page displays the library Capacity
View.
Capacity View
The Capacity View provides tabular data on the capacity of the library's partitions, slots, and drives. You can use the Capacity
View to see a quick summary of the capacity of the library. You can also see which partitions are online (in the Storage Slots
section). The current user's login privileges determine the information that is displayed in the Capacity View.
Details about Capacity View include:
• On the Web client, users see the partitions (in alphabetical order) to which they have access.
• On the operator panel, if users have access to more than one partition, they can navigate to other partitions using the
arrows next to the partition name in the title bar at the top of the screen.
For more information about user privileges, see User Privileges and Working With User Accounts.
Operator Panel
The operator panel is physically attached to the front door of the 5U Library Control Module. The user interface appears on the
touch-screen LCD display of the operator panel for executing basic library management functions. Audible feedback, or "key
click" sounds, are generated when a user presses a button on the operator panel. Users can choose to disable the audible
feedback. See
Configuring System Settings.
Operator Panel Keypads
When a user touches a text box requiring data entry, a keypad screen appears. The alpha, numeric, or month keypad
appears, depending on the type of input field touched. All alphabetic character entries are lower case. The text box appears at
the top of screen, and the numbers/characters appear as they are entered. Pressing 123 opens the numeric keypad.
Operator Panel Indicates Intervention Required
The operator panel lights up (screen saver turns off) if intervention is required. For example, the operator panel lights up
following an import of tapes into the I/E station so that the operator sees the prompt to assign tapes to a partition.
