IBM Magstar 3494 manual Library Manager, User Interface, Password-Protection

Library Manager

The library manager processes all requests and control functions in the library.

User Interface

The user interface enables the operator to obtain information about the operation of the library and instructs the library manager to perform speci®c tasks through the use of the library manager console (display, keyboard, and pointing device). Password-protection for the level of authorization is optional. The user interface recognizes the following three authorization levels:

General operator

A general operator performs the day-to-day basic interactions with the library. This is generally limited to inquiries about the library status or to perform cartridge insert and eject operations. A general operator has a limited level of authorization.

System administrator

	A system administrator is an operator with additional training on the
	management of not only the library but of the data also. The system
	administrator typically handles the initial installation of volumes into the
	library and the problem resolution with volumes during operation. The
	system administrator has authorization access to all functions of the library,
	except for those uniquely related to the service and repair of the library.
Service representative
	The service representative has full authorization access to all functions of
	the library.
Password-Protection
The following functions of the library manager can be protected by a password if
the customer chooses to use password-protection:
v	Service menu
v	Inventory new storage
v Re-inventory complete system
v Emergency power off (EPO) recovery
v	Shutdown
v Keyboard and display lockup
v System administrator to unlock
v Unlock keyboard and display
v	Service Access
v	Cancel VTS Export/Import

Each time a user enters a part of the application where a password is required, then enters a password, a log entry is made at the library manager. Exiting a protected menu also creates a log entry. See ªSystem Administrator Passwordº on page 200 for more information.
