Have you tried the L700 Horizon interface? You assign an IP address and when
you place it in a browser, It spawns a GUI that has information about the
drives / slots / FSC errors etc.
Opening the door is iffy when it comes to VNB and while you may get away with
it, there are no guarantees that it won't come back to bite you. I have had
this experience and I found that the Horizon
GUI is a handy way to "see" inside the L700 , w/o an intrusive open door
procedure.
Just my 2 cents; if what your doing is working, more power to you ......

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] L700 Tape Library
It's not a problem. Just do it.
If you start moving tapes around (including tapes in the drives) remember to
inventory the library.
The same second you open the library all activity from the robot will stop
(StorageTek doesn't want the newspaper writing about someone getting hurt or
even killed inside their libraries)
I have inspectet our library often. I even have a flashlight next to the
library (have asked StorageTek to put a switch and some light inside the
library. Using 10 USD on that feature at the plant
would be nice.
It's safe to open the library even when NBU is running, but the robot it self
will not work (because of safeguards in the library)
I never close the masterserver just to do some stuff inside our library, but I
try to do it when I don't have backups running.
Mosly what I do is pulling tapes out of the drives that for some reason faild
to do so. A few times we have bulk removed or added a lof of tapes and that can
be a lot faster then using the CAP
But we have had hardly any problems with our tapedrives. They a rock solid.
We run NBU 4.5 PF5 on Windows.

Does anybody know if it is okay to open the door of the L700 robot hosted by
the Master Server while Netbackup is still running? I just want to inspect why
two drives are DOWN. I plan on only having
the door open long enough to inspect the drives and clear any problems. I can't
wait to shutdown Netbackup because there are too many jobs running and queued
all of the time and I have been waiting
for three days to look at these two DOWN drives.
