Monitoring Library Events
Library operations are continually monitored by the HBC controller. All events
associated with these operations are logged by the HBC card and can be retrieved by
operators and service representative for examination.
Library events are accessible from the StreamLine Library Console (see
). Events are represented by the following codes:
■
Action codes (what command was issued, such as “load drive”)
■
Result codes (what was the result of the action requested)
■
Known service plan (KSP) diagnosis (what mechanism or component is responsible
for the task or fault)
See
“Working with the Search Utility” on page 106
to lookup on a result code.
Events are stored under three headings:
■
Communication events (host-to-library, library-to-library, and library-to-drive). Data
for these events include:
■
Date/time stamp
■
Library identifier
■
Drive identifier
■
Requestor
■
Interface protocol
■
Communication type
■
Error events, which include:
■
Date/time stamp
■
Drive identifier
■
Operation type
■
Four-digit (hexadecimal) Action Code
■

Warning events, which indicate a loss of performance or events that may be
indicative of future, fatal errors. The data for these are the same as in error events.
