Library Status Tool

Sun Confidential - Internal Only
SNMP
Sun StorageTek’s L-series libraries support Version 1 of the simple network management
protocol (SNMPv1). SNMP is an application layer protocol that performs network
management operations over an Ethernet connection using a User Datagram Protocol
(UDP/IP).
SNMP allows systems administrators to query the library for configuration, operation,
and statistical information. SNMP also allows the library to inform the systems
administrator of potential problems.
Systems administrators and network managers use SNMP to monitor and receive status
from the library, such as:
• Operational state of the library (such as microcode level, serial number, online)
• Status of the cartridge access port (such as open, closed, number of cells)
• Library elements (number of hands, columns, panels, cells, CAPs)
• Number of storage cells and media types stored in the library
• Number and types of drives installed in the library
• Many other variables defined in the database
Refer to the L20 Tape Library Installation Manual, 96052, for information on SNMP setup
and configuration.
Library Admin
The Sun StorageTek L-series Library Admin is now available for the L20 tape library.
This is an upgrade version of the Library Status tool that has enhanced maintenance and
diagnostic capabilities. So, in addition to the features of the Library Status tool, the
Library Admin includes the ability to:
• Get a virtual view of the library's cells.
• Obtain valuable statistics on the library, drives, cells, and the cleaning cartridge.
• View and modify the configuration of the library, drives, network, and also set the
cleaning cartridge threshold. Under the network configuration, you can add and
modify the SNMP agents and recipients.
• Run diagnostic routines such as the demo mode and library self-test. You can also
remotely clean a drive.
For instructions on using the L-Series Library Admin, access the online help provided
within the software.
Note: When you order the Library Admin, you will receive a personality module and a
set of upgrade instructions. The upgrade instructions contain some important
procedures you need to follow to install and set up the Library Admin.
The conversion bill for upgrading to the Library Admin in an L20 tape library is
63039.
