If any doubt exists about the proper drivers residing on the system, use the following procedures to install the appropriate drivers.
Back to Contents Page Frequently Asked Questions: Dell™ PowerVault™ 132T Tape Library User's Guide FAQs When Getting Started More FAQs FAQs When Getting Started The following are questions you may encounter when first setting up your library. What Operator Panel menus are required to get started? You can use the Setup Wizard to walk you through configuring your library. Refer to Setup Wizard. You can also configure your library manually by using the Setup menu.
Hard errors are listed in the Error Log which can be accessed through the Status menu. All errors, diagnostic alerts, and events are accessible by outputting logs to the serial port. For more information on outputting logs, see Exporting Log Files. For more information on specific error messages, see Error Messages. How do I update the library and drive firmware? Your library contains firmware for the main controller application, robotics, RMU, drives, main controller boot code, and the robotics boot code.
Use the Service Tag when contacting Technical Support for assistance. What is partitioning? Partitioning is a way to allow your single library to be logically partitioned so it will appear to a host as if it were two independent physical libraries. Each logical library (partition) can be independently controlled as though it were two different libraries. The library allows you the flexibility to change the partition size and share cleaning tapes between partitions.
software. NOTICE: Prior to power up, the library should be free of any obstruction. If the power failure occurred while the library was in motion, a tape may be extending out of a drive or storage slot and may not be movable by the picker. You may need to clear the tape manually. See Removing Tapes for more information. How do I get help? If you need assistance with a technical problem, refer to the Getting Help section of this document.
