On-board Remote Management overview
Important
Only use the Diagnostic command when
the autoloader is known to be idle and
unavailable to host backup/restore
applications. Use of the diagnostic
commands from On-board Remote
Management should not be issued while
the autoloader is being used by host
applications. The autoloader recognizes
when the drive or autoloader is executing
host commands and responds
appropriately to prevent application
failures. A Diagnostic command being
issued between host application
commands may not be recognized
resulting in a failed application, such as a
failed backup/restore job.
Your Gateway® E-824R or E-826R SuperLoader 3 includes an Ethernet interface
to permit remote administration of the autoloader. The interface, called
On-board Remote Management, includes a Web server that provides a
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)-based graphic user interface (GUI) for ease
of use.
Many of the operations that you perform from the front panel you can also
perform remotely using On-board Remote Management. These functions
include moving tapes, accessing sequential operations, accessing system
operations options, accessing networking options, accessing security options,
running diagnostic tests, and performing system updates.
Important
To log out of the system, you must close
your browser to end the session.
