Using Library Explorer 6
You can use the Library Explorer feature to view a graphical presentation
of all the drives, cartridges, and slots in the library. The Library Explorer
can display all library elements according to physical location in any
configuration, from one module to eight modules, and one drive up to
the maximum number of 96 drives.
You can access the Library Explorer from both the physical and partition
views, but the functionality in the physical view is limited. If you are in a
partition view, Library Explorer displays slots and drives pertaining to
that particular partition.
The Library Explorer features are available to administrator and service
users, along with non-administrative users who have limited access to
library functions. Users who do not have administrative privileges can
perform all Operations options available to non-administrative users
directly from the Library Explorer dialog boxes.
You can use the Library Explorer to directly perform the following tasks:
• Locate an element by entering its address
• Locate a cartridge by entering the media barcode
• Load and unload drives
• Move cartridges
• Perform inventory
• Import and export
• View drive details
• Perform all drive related functions
