will begin logging alarms indicating that the appropriate tape has yet to be checked-in. The frequency of
these alarms is controlled by the Shelf Tape Check-In Alarm field of the PVR-specific configuration
window.
The requests are displayed in chronological order. Each time such a request is received by SSM, it is
added to the list, but duplicate requests for the same tape are not displayed. When a message is received
indicating that the check-in request has been satisfied, the request is removed from the window. For
operator PVRs such check-in requests mean that a tape must be mounted by hand.
The maximum number of tape check-in messages that can be displayed on the Tape Check-In Requests
window is 100. When this limit is exceeded, some tape check-in notifications will be lost.
If the Auto Popup checkbox is selected, this window will automatically reopen whenever a new tape
check-in request is received. To open this window manually, select the Monitor menu on the Health and
Status window, from there select the Tape Requests submenu, and from there select the Check-In menu
item.
The HPSS shelf_tape utility may be used to move tapes from off-line storage to a tape library.
Field Descriptions
PVR. The descriptive name of the PVR that owns the cartridge.
Cart ID. The six-character label identifying the cartridge to be inserted into the robot.
Side. The side (partition) number to be mounted. This may be blank.
I/O Port. The descriptive name of the I/O port where the cartridge will be placed.
Update Time. The date and time when the check-in request was last updated.
Request Time. The date and time that the check-in request was first received by the SSM.
Elapsed Time. The length of time (days-hours:min:sec) that the check-in request has been waiting.
Buttons and Checkboxes
Auto Popup. If ON, this window will be opened automatically if it is not already on the screen when a
check-in request is received.
Clear List. Clears the list of check-in requests. Note that this does not cancel any check-in requests, but
just removes them from the list. Pending check-in requests will reappear in the window as the PVR
periodically retries the check-in of cartridges. This can be useful for removing stale check-in requests
that, for some reason, never issued a completion message to SSM. When this button is clicked from any
SSM session, the Tape Check-In Requests windows on all SSM sessions will be cleared.
