Using the OCP

about the library, execute library commands, and test library functions.
The status bar at the top of the OCP displays library status at all times, at the left of the bar. The status
can be Online, Going Online, or Offline, followed by a warning level: OK, Warning, or Critical.
In addition, when a library firmware upgrade is in progress, Upgrading FW is displayed on the right
side of the status bar.
NOTE:
If the library reports a status of Warning or Critical, check the Health Status screen to see which
component is causing that status. See
Viewing library health status information (standalone libraries
for details.
