SL Console Reports

96116 • Revision: KA

Chapter 2 StorageTek Library Console 53

SL Console Reports

The SL Console reports provide information on the library and its associated devices

(for example, drives, robots, and CAPs), events, and tape cartridges. You can use the

library reports to monitor library activity and identify potential problems. In addition

to displaying the reports on-screen, you can save the report data to a file, which you

can then print or include in e-mail.

All report output is a static display of information sent from the library controller at the

time the report is generated. The SL Console does not update the information

dynamically unless you explicitly select the Update button on the Options bar.

Note –

Running multiple instances of the standalone SL Console or Web-launched

SL Console on the same PC or workstation can cause problems such as inconsistent

data on reports. It is recommended that only one user at a time produce SL Console

reports on a PC or workstation, unless all instances of the SL Console are the same

version.

Report Types

The SL Console provides the following types of reports:

Log—detailed system event logs

Statistics—statistical information on library operations

Status Detail—details on the status of the library and associated devices, such as

Status Summary—summary information on the status of the library and associated

devices
