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.
