Replacing

a

Library

Controller

Card

Read

Me

before

Continuing

The

Library

Controller

Card

contains

a

copy

of

the

vital

product

data

(VPD)

for

your

library.

The

VPD

contains

your

current

library

configuration.

A

backup

copy

of

this

VPD

is

contained

within

the

electronics

of

the

Library

Enclosure.

When

the

Library

Controller

Card

is

replaced,

the

new

replacement

card

should

contain

zeros

(0’s)

in

key

VPD

locations.

Upon

detection

of

these

zeros,

the

library

will

automatically

attempt

to

write

VPD

data

to

the

new

Library

Controller

Card

from

the

backup

copy

of

the

VPD

contained

in

the

Library

Enclosure.

In

rare

occurrences,

the

new

Library

Controller

Card

may

contain

valid

(non-zero)

VPD

data

left

over

from

having

been

installed

previously

in

another

library.

If

this

occurs,

the

library,

which

is

expecting

to

see

zeros

in

the

VPD

area,

will

instead

detect

valid

VPD

data,

and

will

not

know

which

copy

of

the

VPD

is

the

correct

one.

It

will

detect

a

“VPD

Mismatch”

and

display

on

the

Operator

Control

Panel

a

a66mi096

Figure
