Library Status and Health
You can poll the variables below to get library status and health information.
Overall Library Health: RAS Subsystem Status
The Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) system status table provides a concise way to assess the health of the library's subsystems. The library functionality is divided into six status groups: connectivity, control, cooling, drives and media, power, and robotics.
Querying this variable will give the status of the last state transition (i.e. a subsystem has changed its status to good.) Determining the precise reason for a status setting other than "good" can be accomplished using the LMC and accessing the subsystem RAS tickets.
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.100.10.1.2
Values: good(1), failed(2), degraded(3), warning(4), informational(5), unknown(6), invalid(7)
Instance: There will be one instance for each of the 6 key subsystems monitored by the library. Query the specific instance that you need to access. Subsystem instances are listed using the format:
8.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.59.1
Where the final number (1 in this example) is the subsystem. connectivity(1), control(2), cooling(3), drives and media(4), power(5), robotics(6)

Physical Library Online/Offline State
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.80.10.1.5
Name: onlineStatus
Type: INTEGER
Values: online(1), offline(2), shutdown(3)
Description: The online/offline state of the entire library is returned by the onlineStatus object.
Instance: There will be one instance for the Scalar i2000 / i6000, 8.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.59.
Alerted by Trap: 101
Robotics Readiness
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.80.10.1.6
Name: readiness
Type: INTEGER
Values: ready(1) or notReady(2).
Description: The readiness state of the library robotics is returned by the readiness object.
Instance: There will be one instance for the Scalar i2000 / i6000, 8.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.59.

Partition Online/Offline Status
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.90.20.1.12
Values: online(1), offline(2)
Instance: There will be one instance for every logical partition defined on the library. Query the specific instance that you need to access. Partitions are listed using the format: 8.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.59.1
Where the final number (1 in this instance) is the partition number. To determine the number of partitions, query the MIB variable: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.90.10.1.2. Names of the partitions can be found using OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.90.20.1.3. Refer to Logical Library Name for more information.

Drive Overall Health
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.80.110.1.31
Name: phDriveRasStatus
Type: INTEGER
Values: good(1), failed(2), degraded(3), warning(4), informational(5), unknown(6), invalid(7)
Description: The overall health of the drive is indicated by the phDriveRasStatus object.
Instance: There will be one instance for every physical drive in the library. Query the specific instance that you need to access. Drives are listed in sequential order. See Table 2 on the previous page for details on interpreting the format of a drive instance ID.

Drive Online/Offline Status
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.1.200.20.80.110.1.29
Name: phDriveOnlineStatus
Type: INTEGER
Values: online(1), offline(2), shutdown(3). Currently the drive object never returns shutdown(3)
Description: This variable indicates whether a drive is varied on or varied off.
Instance: There will be one instance for every physical drive in the library. Query the specific instance that you need to access. Drives are listed in sequential order.
See the table below for details on interpreting the format of a drive instance ID.
