The magnetic tape inside the cartridge is made of highly durable materials. However, the tape wears after
repeated cycles in the tape system. Eventually, such wear can cause an increase in tape errors.
Track the error data available by monitoring both the cartridge and your tape system performance. By
monitoring error data, you can identify and replace cartridges that are no longer acceptable for continued
use.
Proper maintenance of your cartridge helps to keep IBM magnetic tape cartridge systems operate in a
reliable and efcient manner.
Attention: Do not degauss a cartridge tape. Degaussing the tape erases the servo tracks and make
the cartridge unusable. An attached host can be used to run a Data Security Erase if the data on
the tape must be physically erased. This action physically overwrites the data on the tape without
damaging the servo tracks.
The Management GUI
With the Management graphical user interface (GUI), you can monitor, congure, and operate most library
functions from a web browser.
When possible, use the Management GUI as the primary library interface. The web interface provides
access to more features, includes online help, and is intuitive to use.
Before the Management GUI can be used, you need to log in and congure the library network settings
with the Operator Panel. This action can be done during Initial Setup. See “The Initial setup process” on
page 67.
Logging in with the Management GUI
1. Open a supported web browser and enter the IP address of the library in the browser’s address bar.
2. Type in the username (administrator or other administrator-created user) and the password. Click
Login.
Note: For initial login, type administrator and the password adm001. You must change the
password after the initial login. Your new password must have these characteristics:
• 8 characters long
• At least one lowercase alphabet character
• At least one uppercase alphabet character
• At least one numeric character
• No more than two consecutive characters
Note: Only one person (on Operator Panel or Management GUI) can be logged in to the library at a time. If
another person is already logged in when you try to log in, a dialog box appears asking if you want to log
off the other user.
The Library main screen on the Management GUI
The library main screen is organized into the following regions:
