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 specific 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. Ageneral 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:
vService menu
vInventory new storage
vRe-inventory complete system
vEmergency power off (EPO) recovery
vShutdown
vKeyboard and display lockup
vSystem administrator to unlock
vUnlock keyboard and display
vService Access

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 “SystemAdministrator Password” on
page 200 for more information.
