The library management area, at the top of the LibMON Home Page, provides information on the status of each library connected to the server.
# /opt/SUNWlmon/START-LIBMON -dup |
For example, if the tape library has four drives, but only two of the drives (/dev/rmt/0n and /dev/rmt/1n) are connected to the LibMON server, you must enter either of the two valid device names for the two remaining tape drives. The completed Device Names section would show:
Tape Drive 0: /dev/rmt/0n
Tape Drive 1: /dev/rmt/1n
Tape Drive 2: /dev/rmt/0n (duplicate entry)
Tape Drive 3: /dev/rmt/0n (duplicate entry)
In this case, LibMON displays the contents of each drive on the Physical and Logical View Pages. However, the drive data displayed is that of the named physical drive.
Before you can configure the display attributes of a library or access detailed information for a library, you must select it.
The Library Page Layout option is set to Large Icon View by default. To change this setting:
1 These attributes are displayed by default. |
1 This attribute is the default primary key used for sorting. |
LibMON maintains a Library Property Book Page for each monitored library. This page contains all the information you entered when you created the library, and enables you to set thresholds for each library device (robot or tape drive).
To open the Library Property Book Page for a library:
The following table provides a detailed description of each field on the Library Property Book Page.

|
Device Names |
Robot |
This field displays the device name for the medium changer. You entered this value when you created the library. |
Tape Drive x |
These fields display the device names of the tape drives. You entered these values when you created the library. |
|
Set Threshold |
Clicking the Set Threshold button (to the right of each device name field) opens a Set Threshold dialog box for the device. For more information about setting thresholds, see To Set Up Threshold-Based Notification. This option is not available in the Create Library Property Book dialog box. |
