Timeouts – HP EML E-series Tape Libraries User Manual

Figure 31 Menu screen
The status bar is a quick indicator of library health. The bar is green when the library is functioning
normally, yellow during a warning condition, and red during an error condition. Touching the
status bar takes you to the Health Summary screen.
The detailed functions of the four top-level menu tabs (Status, Configuration, Operations, and
Support) are discussed later. Selecting any of these four tabs takes you to menu items under that
screen category.
Five navigation tabs can be displayed at the bottom of the screen. The thumbtacked (in or out) tab
was discussed in
. The remaining tabs are:
•
Help Displays help text for features appearing on that screen.
•
Page Up Scrolls text to a previous page when text is longer than a page in size.
•
Page Down Scrolls text to the following page when text is longer than a page in size.
•
Back Moves you one level up in the menu tree. All screens except the Home, test status, error
message, and keypad screens have this tab at the lower, right corner. Returning to the Home
screen removes all password privileges previously granted through the OCP.
Timeouts
The library enters a timeout state after five minutes of inactivity. In this state:
•
The OCP backlight turns off.
•
Password privileges are removed on all screens granted access.
•
The OCP returns to either the Home screen or a thumbtacked screen, if one is designated. If
a thumbtacked screen consists of more than one page, the pages cycle every five seconds.
Touching a screen in a timeout state turns on the backlight. Subsequent touches after the backlight
is lit perform the requested command.
The following are special timeout cases:
•
When a service password is entered, the length of time to enter a timeout state changes from
5 minutes to 30 minutes. If the OCP is touched during the 30-minute period, the library reverts
to a normal 5-minute period before a timeout.
•
If a warning condition occurs while the library is timed-out, the backlight comes on for 30
minutes. If the OCP is touched during this 30-minute period, the library reverts to a normal
5-minute period before a timeout. Otherwise, the library re-enters a normal timeout state after
30 minutes.
•
If an error condition occurs while the library is timed-out, the backlight comes on for 60 minutes.
If the OCP is touched during this 60-minute period, the library reverts to a normal 5-minute
