The
STATUS?
option displays tape drive and magazine slot status.
When the system is first powered on, it conducts a power-on self-
test (POST). Upon completion of the POST, the drives and the
library are initialized.
At this time, the OCP main menu
STATUS?
options are described
as “Library” options. The OCP buttons are not active during
initialization. The following messages are displayed:
• Library Init
• Library Active
• Library Idle
If either status message,
Library init
or
Library Active
,
appears on the LCD, the library is in the process of completing an
activity. Wait until
Library Idle
appears before entering any
commands.
Press
NEXT
to obtain status.
Table 5
lists possible
STATUS?
options and their respective
messages.
Note: The
STATUS?
option gives status information only and
there are no commands to be issued; therefore the
ENTER button is not functional.
