As an alternative, the Scalar 1000 can be network attached
through an Archive Management Unit (AMU) in a main
frame, UNIX, or Windows NT environment. Contact a sales
representative for additional information about using the
AMU.
The Scalar 1000 can also be connected to a Fibre Channel Host
via the ADIC Fibre Channel Router (FCR). The ADIC FCR
provides one or two SCSI parallel bus connections and a Fibre
Channel connection, translating (bridging) the SCSI protocol
between these two media types. Up to six FCR’s can be
installed in each Scalar 1000 frame. Refer to the ADIC Web
site,
www.adic.com
, for specifications of different ADIC FCR
models.
Remote Management Unit (RMU)
The Remote Management Unit (RMU) resides in each system
and is pre-installed at the factory. The RMU allows remote
access via a Web browser to the library. Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 4.0 and above, as well as Netscape Navigator
versions 4.01, 4.5, and 4.73 are supported by the RMU.
The user is able to remotely access library status, the library
Operator Panel, and Scalar 1000 documentation via the RMU.
The RMU also allows the user to remotely update firmware in
the RMU and the library’s controller, retrieve library
command and logs, and make configuration changes. The
RMU supports Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) version 2.0 and acts as an SNMP-server. The RMU
acquires Tape Alert 3.0 compatibility information from the
library over the serial interface port and sends that
information to a SNMP server. The RMU also detects a power
loss and generates a SNMP trap for notification. Refer to
Remote Management Unit (RMU)
on page 4-8 for more
information.
