Viewing Ethernet
Connectivity 12
There are two places on the library Web client which tell you whether
tape drives are connected via Ethernet (either via an Ethernet Expansion
blade or connected directly to the library control blade). These two places
are:
• Tools > Drive Operations > Update tape drive firmware using a
firmware image file
• Tools > Drive Operations > Retrieve Tape Drive Log
The tape drive table in each of these screens has a column called Ethernet
Connected. If the tape drive is connected via Ethernet, the tape drive IP
address will be listed in the column. If the tape drive is Ethernet capable
but not connected, the column displays “No.” If the tape drive is not
Ethernet capable, the column displays “N/A.”
You can also view the location coordinates and Ethernet Expansion blade
status in the library System Information Report:
• Reports > System Information
Ethernet Expansion
Blade Status LEDs 12
The status LEDs for the Ethernet Expansion blade are located at the
bottom of the Ethernet Expansion blade below ETH 6 (see Figure 69
on
page 482).
