About this task

To use the operator panel to display the existing configuration of the TS3500 tape library, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. From the library's Activity touchscreen, press MENU —> Settings —> Configuration —> Display Configuration —> ENTER.
    The Physical Configuration screen displays. The screen shows the total quantity of drives, storage slots, and I/O slots in the library's physical configuration. For libraries that use both LTO and 3592 media, the screen provides totals for each media type. The Mode field indicates the menu selection (Configure Library or Advanced Configure) that was used to create the current library configuration.
    Note: With the Advanced Library Management System (ALMS) is enabled, the Mode is ALMS.
