HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools

HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) is a collection of storage hardware management and

diagnostic tools assembled into a single, convenient program. L&TT offers a GUI or command screen

interface (CSI), allowing you to perform the following functions with the library:

Installation check—Guides you through a basic installation check of the library. The software

helps you choose an appropriate HBA, making sure that the device is detected by the system, and

verifying key device functionality.

Device identification—Identifies the storage products connected to the system, along with key

information on product configuration and status.

Troubleshooting tests—Provides various tests to verify product functionality or to isolate product

issues. Tests include device self-tests, read/write tests on tape drives, exerciser tests for autoloaders

and libraries, and specific device utilities.

Support ticket generation—If you experience a problem with a storage product, L&TT can

generate a support ticket that includes essential information for troubleshooting the problem.

Automatic notification of Web updates—If a connection to the Internet is present and Web

updates are enabled in the tool preferences, L&TT automatically informs you of the following

updates, if available, each time the program is started:
• New versions of L&TT
• New firmware files for connected devices
• New device-specific functionality (such as new or updated tests) for connected devices
