Viewing, Saving, and E-mailing Library Logs

The library collects specific information in log files that you can view

onscreen, save to your computer, or e-mail to a recipient. The following

library logs are available:

• Installation Verification Test Summary Log — This log is saved each

time you run the Installation Verification Test (IVT). The log saves

only the information from the most recently run test. If you run the

test again, the new information overwrites the previous information.

This option presents the summary log. For more information, see

Using the Installation Verification Test on page 405.

• Installation Verification Test Detailed Log— This log is saved each time

you run the Installation Verification Test (IVT). The log saves only the

information from the most recently run test. If you run the test again,

the new information overwrites the previous information. This

option presents the detailed log. For more information, see Using the

Installation Verification Test on page 405.

• Command History Log — Available only if you are using FC I/O

blades. When you select this report, you choose the FC I/O blade and

device for which you want to run the report. The Blade menu lists all

FC I/O blades installed in the library (if more than one are installed).

The Devices menu lists the devices associated with the selected FC

I/O blade. The report shows all commands from the selected device

to the selected blade. When the log file reaches its maximum size, the

oldest information is replaced as new information is added.

Note: “Get” and “put” counts and retries are counted from the

beginning of library use to the present. If the LCB compact

flash card is replaced, the count starts over at zero.
