StorageTek 6 Displaying/Setting Service Level, Starting the HSC Subsystem at Base Service Level

Displaying/Setting Service Level

An HSC operator command, SRVlev, sets a different service level. Refer to information presented on the Display command in Chapter 2, ‘‘Commands, Control Statements, and Utilities’’ in the HSC Operator’s Guide for information on how to display the current HSC service level.

Starting the HSC Subsystem at Base Service Level

If the HSC and the library are new to your data center, you may want to install the HSC software and start the subsystem at the base service level before your library hardware is physically installed. Starting the HSC at the base service level allows you to perform many of the preliminary tasks involved in configuring your library and performing preliminary tests on basic operation.

Normally the HSC subsystem is initialized to the full service level when started. The HSC can be started at the base service level only by specifying the BASE parameter in the startup SLKJCL file. Then, the Service Level (SRVlev) command can be used to bring the HSC to full service level whenever you are ready.

Refer to “Initializing the HSC to the Base Service Level” on page 129 for information about setting the service level at HSC initialization.
