Sun Microsystems SL8500 manual Monitoring PTPs, Cleaning of Drives

Automated Mode of Operation

Monitoring PTPs

You can monitor the libraries in a complex using the StreamLine Library Console. To use the Library Console in a library complex, you must open a separate session for each library in the complex.

Note – You can have up to five Library Console sessions running for a library.

After you log on to a Library Console session, the application automatically detects a PTP device if the library is in a complex. If a PTP is detected, the device tree displays the PTP folder (FIGURE 4-5)

Cleaning of Drives

The drives require periodic cleaning to prevent read and write errors. The drives can be setup for automatic or manual and automatic cleaning.
