Accessing the Library Management Console (LMC)

You can view the LMC from either the library OCP or a remote computer. If you use the OCP, you
do not need to install the LMC because it is already installed on the library. To access the LMC
using a web browser, see

“Logging on from the Library Management Console (LMC) using a web

browser” (page 77)

.

To manage your library from a remote client, first perform the initial network configuration of the
library from the OCP. For more information, see

“Setting up the network configuration” (page 47)

.

The main LMC display consists of five areas:

The title bar of the LMC displays the words ESL G3 Library Management Console.

The menu bar provides access to all menu commands used to manage library functions.

Menu commands for user types admin and security are Operations, Monitor, Setup, Tools,
View, Connection, and Help.

The additional menu Service is available to user type service.

See

“Menus” (page 81)

.

The tool bar displays icons that represent the most commonly run commands: I/E (view the
import/export station slots), IMPORT (load tapes into the library from the import/export station),
EXPORT (move tapes from the library into the import/export station), EVENTS (view library
events), EXPLORER (finding a tape in the library), and LOG OFF. See

“Toolbar” (page 84)

.

The library information panel fills most of the main LMC display, presenting operational data
from the current library, whether the current library is the physical library or a partition. The
operation data is presented in four sections: Managed Views, Slots Utilized, Data Transfer,
and Configuration. Of these, only Managed Views is an active section, meaning the user can
