Library details and health
The library view displays details and health for a library that is attached to the TS7700 Cluster.
To open the library view, click the small image of the tape library at the top of the
Cluster Summary page. Click the expanded library image to start the TS3500/TS4500 Management GUI.
Note: The
TS3500/TS4500 Management GUI link can have two
different addresses that are determined by the HTTP request. The link uses HTTPS protocol by
default, the secure protocol must be configured on the tape library. The address depends on whether
you are logged in through the internal (TSSC) or external (customer) network. If you are logged in
through the TSSC, the link displays the library internal address that is obtained from the vital
product database (VPD). If you are logged in through the external network, the link displays the
library external IP address, obtained by a request to the common interface model (CIM) server. The
CIM server must be enabled on the physical library to return the library external IP address to the
IBM® TS7700 Management
Interface.
Hover over the expanded library image to display library details,
as described in Table 1.
