EnergyAudit Reporting
The BlueScale EnergyAudit feature lets you display actual power
consumption. See View Power Consumption Statistics on page 165 for
information.
Global Spare
The Global Spare feature provides a way to remotely replace a failed drive
in the library. You simply configure an installed drive as a designated spare
for other drives in the library. This drive can then be substituted for a failed
drive in any partition that is configured to use the Global Spare drive.
When a drive fails, you simply log into the BlueScale web interface from
any location, select the Global Spare option for the failed drive, and
continue normal operations. You can then physically replace the failed
drive at your convenience. See Assign Global Spare Drives on page 193 and
Using a Global Spare Drive on page 402 for more information.
Hardware Health Monitoring
BlueScale Hardware Health Monitoring (HHM) tracks maintenance
thresholds for key robotic components and notifies you when a
maintenance threshold is reached. You can click the maintenance icon on
the status bar to send the AutoSupport Log (ASL) file to Spectra Logic
Technical Support so they can review the log file and determine if any
maintenance tasks are needed. See Using BlueScale Hardware Health
Monitoring on page 349 for more information.
Media Lifecycle Management
BlueScale Media Lifecycle Management (MLM) helps you manage your
tape media by giving you tools to proactively determine potential media
errors before they happen. See Chapter 6 – Configuring and Managing
Partitions, beginning on page 177 and Chapter 9 – Configuring and Using
Media Lifecycle Management, beginning on page 265 for detailed
information about configuring and using the MLM features.
Remote Support
The remote support feature uses a remote web access application, WebEx
®
,
to facilitate remote problem diagnosis. Remote support preserves your
organization’s site and data security, giving Spectra Logic Technical
Support limited access to your library. With WebEx, Technical Support can
“drive” the library, taking enough control to gather the data required to
speed understanding of the problem. See Auto Download Icon on page 83
for more information.
