Getting information about an EML or ESL E-Series library
The Identity screen displays summary information and a photo of the currently selected library.
This screen is useful when you need to quickly find information pertaining to a library, such as the
number of drives or interface controllers it contains. Another use for the Identity screen is finding
the library serial number, which is required when ordering any of the optional, licensable features
of a library (see
Advanced features in the GUI (page 144)
for more information about additional
licensable features).
In the Library window, click the Identity menu.
Viewing the health summary
The health summary shows the status of every component in the library.
1.
In the Library window, click the Status tab.
2.
In the left panel, select Health Summary. A list of the health of each component appears in
the right panel.
•
The first column of the Health Summary displays each component of the library in a
hierarchical structure. Each component is shown with a green, yellow, or red status symbol
that enables you to see if any components need attention.
•
The second column describes the health of the component.
•
The third column provides additional information that may be useful if there is a problem
with the component.
•
The fourth column lists recent alerts.
NOTE:
The Health Summary window is automatically updated whenever the status of the
library changes.

In the Library window, click the Status tab.
2.
In the left panel, click Cabling View. A list of the physical connections appears in the right
panel.
TIP:
Verify that the list does not contain an Unconnected Devices node which would
indicate that the Interface manager card is unable to establish connectivity with any of the
library components.
•
The first column shows the components in tree view.
•
The second column shows the health of the component with an icon.
•
The third column shows the serial number for the Interface Manager card, the World
Wide Node Name (WWNN) for the interface controllers, the World Wide Port Name
(WWPN) for the host ports, or a generic name for SCSI device ports.
