System Config utility
The System Config utility checks the local host configuration. The System Config utility extracts the
local host configuration and checks the configuration for any known issues that could keep L&TT
from interacting with the device and/or prevent the backup applications from working properly.
NOTE: The System Config utility is only supported in Windows, HP-UX 11.11, and HP-UX 11.23.
On Windows, the utility checks:
•
The state of the Removable Storage Manager (RSM) service.
•
The version of any Insight Manager agents installed.
•
The version of the LTO driver installed.
•
The version of the Emulex FC card driver installed.
On HP-UX, the utility checks:
•
The state of the system parameter st_san_safe (on/off).
•
The state of the system parameter st_ats_enable (on/off).
•
The state of the EMS Tape Monitor (running/not).
•
The value of the POLL_INTERVAL parameter for the EMS Tape Monitor.
On both operating systems, the System Config utility reports information about the HBAs present
in the system, including the HBA model, drive, IRQ channel, and the number of connected devices.
It will also list any devices connected to the HBA. On Windows, the System Config utility will also
report the current driver parameters and recommended driver parameters.
If the utility detects any issues, it references relevant sections of the EBS matrix for corrective action.
For the current version of the EBS matrix, see
