Connecting to the TS4500 management GUI
Connect to the IBM® TS4500 management graphical user interface (GUI) to remotely view and manage the library.
Before you begin
Before you connect to the TS4500 management GUI, the TS4500 tape library must first be installed and configured. In
addition, you must use one of the supported web browsers that are listed in Table 1 to access the management GUI. To ensure that all the functions of the management GUI are usable, enable cookies and JavaScript in your browser and disable the browser's
function of blocking pop-up windows. The recommended browser resolution is 1000 x 600.
| Browser | Minimum versions supported |
|---|---|
| Mozilla Firefox | 38 |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer | 11 |
| Google Chrome | 43 |
Note: IBM supports higher versions of the browsers as long as the vendors do not remove or disable
functionality that the product relies upon. For browser levels higher than the versions that are
certified with the product, customer support accepts usage-related and defect-related service
requests. As with operating system and virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot re-create
the issue in our lab, we might ask the client to re-create the problem on a certified browser
version to determine whether a product defect exists. Defects are not accepted for cosmetic
differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the
product. If a problem is identified in the product, defects are accepted. If a problem is identified
with the browser, IBM might investigate potential solutions or work-around that the client can
implement until a permanent solution becomes available.
