Guide
The Remote Management Unit (RMU) resides in each system and is pre-installed at the factory. The RMU allows remote access via a Web browser to the
library. Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 5.0 and above, as well as Netscape Navigator versions 4.01 for UNIX® only, and 4.7X for all environments are
supported by the RMU. All available functions, as described below, are accomplished without the need of a dedicated server (or separate software).
The RMU performs the following functions:
l Provides remote operation of all library Operator Panel functions via a Web browser.
l Allows you to check the status of the system, firmware levels, and other useful information.
l Updates RMU and Library Controller firmware for all drive types.
l Updates drive firmware for libraries with LTO drives.
l Supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and acts as an SNMP-server, generating SNMP traps and responding to SNMP requests.
l Supports Library Management Information Base (MIB) version 2.0.
l Detects a power loss and generates an SNMP trap for notification.
l Enables the retrieval of library, drive, and RMU diagnostic files.
l Allows RMU configuration changes such as network, users, and date/time changes.
