The Library Snapshot feature captures detailed information about the entire library in a single ASCII file that can be e-mailed to technical support personnel. The information consists of configuration data, status information, and trace logs for library components. Trace logs collect problem data and provide support personnel with vital library information for troubleshooting and solving problems.

You can e-mail the snapshot file from the WebGUI. You can also download the snapshot file to your computer. However, you cannot print snapshot files directly from the Web client. Depending on the library configuration and your connection speed, saving the snapshot file could take several minutes. The resulting file size can be large. In some cases, your firewall file-size limitations could prohibit you from emailing the file.

The snapshot contains the following information:

• Library SN
• Number of physical slots installed (all slots)
• Number of slots assigned to partitions (host and library managed)
• Number of assigned slots populated with media
• Number of general purpose drives, listed by drive manufacturer and LTO generation
• Drive utilization rate of general purpose drives (even if Advanced Reporting [AR] isn’t licensed)
• Dual/single robot
• Number of yellow/red robot-related RAS tickets
• Redundant power – Y/N
• Advanced Reporting license – Y/N
• Number of I/E jobs done
• Largest number of media in a single I/E job
• Number of red/yellow RAS tickets associated with control or drive paths failing or losing connectivity
