System Summary and
Subsystem Status 2
You can quickly gauge the health of the library by observing the color of
the three subsystem status buttons located at the bottom of the home
page. These buttons provide quick access to information about the
“health” of the library for faster recovery if problems occur. You can
select the buttons to view Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability
(RAS) tickets that report problems in the subsystems.
The three subsystems are:
•
Library — This subsystem represents connectivity, control, cooling,
power, and robotics.
•
Drives — This subsystem represents tape drive components, such as
tape drives, tape drive firmware, and tape drive sleds.
•
Media — This subsystem represents media components, such as
cartridges and barcode labels.
Each subsystem button will be in one of three states indicated by color.
The three states are:
•
Green — No RAS tickets exist for this subsystem, or, if any tickets do
exist, they have all been closed.
•
Yellow — The library contains open or unopened, low- or high-
priority RAS tickets for this subsystem.
•
Red — The library contains open or unopened urgent RAS tickets for
this subsystem.
If the color of a subsystem button is red or yellow, you can click the
button to display the corresponding
RAS Tickets screen. This screen lists
library, drives, or media RAS tickets, depending on which button was
selected. RAS tickets display in order of last occurrence of each event,
starting with the most recent.
You can change the order in which the RAS tickets are displayed by
clicking any header item (for example, Priority, Last Occurrence, or
Name).
Note:
Last Occurrence indicates the last time a ticket event occurred.
This information updates any time the event recurs.
Last
Occurrence
does NOT update if you open, close, or resolve the
RAS Ticket.
