Viewing, Saving, and E-mailing Library Logs
The library collects specific information in log files that you can view onscreen, save to your computer, or e-mail to a
recipient. The following library logs are available:
• Installation Verification Test Summary Log — This log is saved each time you run the installation Verification Test
(IVT). The log saves only the information from the most recently run test. If you run the test again, the new
information overwrites the previous information. This option presents the summary log. For more information, see
Using the Installation Verification Test.
• Installation Verification Test Detailed Log— This log is saved each time you run the installation Verification Test
(IVT). The log saves only the information from the most recently run test. If you run the test again, the new

Using
the Installation Verification Test.
• Command History Log — Available only if you are using FC I/O blades. When you select this report, you choose the
FC I/O blade and device for which you want to run the report. The Blade menu lists all FC I/O blades installed in the
library (if more than one are installed). The Devices menu lists the devices associated with the selected FC I/O blade.
