Additional Components
Web-Based Library Administrator (WBLA)
The Web-Based Library Administrator (WBLA) incorporates a web interface to
the library. To use this feature, you will need a personal computer attached to
the library’s Ethernet port. This enables you to:
“View” the library interior and visually check the status of tapes, drives,
and CAP
Initiate diagnostic tests on the library from the personal computer
Make configuration changes or additions
Consult the Web-Based Library Administrator Online Help CD that shipped
with your library for more information.
Tape Library Safety Features
Safety features are incorporated into the tape library. If the left access door is
opened, an electrical interlock removes power from the robot assembly.
Behind the right front door, covers are placed over the logic card, the AC
power supply, and the DC power supply to prevent you from coming into
contact with hazardous voltages and sensitive electronics.
Controlling Software
Controlling software, within the client/server, requests tape read and write
operations to the drives and robotic move operations for the tape library
robotic components. Software determines where the cartridge is located by
tracking the VOLSER and cell location during audits, then allocates which drive
receives the cartridge. For specific information, refer to your software
publications.
