Supported Internet Protocols

The library supports the following Internet protocols:

vIPv4

vIPv6

SNMP Messaging

Occasionally, the library may encounter a situation that you want to know about, such as an open magazine or a fault that causes the library to stop. The library provides a standard TCP/IP protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to send alerts about conditions (such as need for operator intervention) over a TCP/IP LAN network to an SNMP monitoring station. These alerts are called SNMP traps. Using the information supplied in each SNMP trap, the monitoring station (together with customer-supplied software) can alert operations personnel of possible problems or operator interventions that occur.

In summary, each trap provides the following information:

vProduct Identification such as product name, description, manufacturer, model number, firmware level, and the URL that the trap is designated for.

vProduct Status such as the severity of the trap, status (current and previous) and the time the trap occurred.

vLibrary State (physical device status) such as identification and status of devices that are monitored. In the case of the library, it would include enclosure, power supply, controller, magazine status, drive count, cartridge slot count, and I/O station count. Also included would be certain library statistics, and where appropriate, the fault FSC (fault symptom code) including the severity and description of that fault.

vDrive Status such as the identification of each drive in the library, firmware level, serial number and other address and status information.

vTrap Definitions such as library status change, open magazine, I/O accessed, hard fault information, drive cleaning requests, excessive retries and library returning to normal operations.
