This chapter provides an overview of the operator panel and the remote panel.
1.1Overview of Panel Operations
The library provides two main interfaces:
• Operator panel
With the operator panel, you can monitor, configure, and control the library from the front panel. All operating menus are displayed on the center pane.
• Remote panel
With the remote panel, you can monitor, configure, and control the library from a web browser. The remote
panel hosts a dedicated, protected Internet site that displays a graphical representation of the library.
Except of top menus, operating menu tree are displayed on the right pane.
Although the operator panel is similar to the remote panel in design and functionality, some of the executable operations are different.
1.1.1Overview of the Operator Panel
The operator panel is positioned on the center of the front panel. It is possible to perform operations such as
referencing/setting the library and drive status and opening the magazine or mailslot from the operator
panel. By selecting the buttons on the operator panel, operations such as window transition, function selection, and setup value input can be performed.
The windows on the operator panel before login can be roughly divided into the initialization window and
login window.
The remote panel can be used to perform operations such as referencing/setting the library and drive status
and performing drive cleaning on a Web browser via the LAN.
• The recommended environment for the remote panel is as follows:
- Web browser
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari
• Cookies and Java Script are used for the remote panel. Cookies and Java Script need to be enabled in your
browser.
Before using the remote panel, network settings need to be performed on the operator panel to enable the IP
address, the subnet mask, and the gateway so that the remote panel can be used. Specify the following URL
on a Web browser after performing the settings:
http:// <IP address specified for the LT260>/
or
https:// <IP address specified for the LT260>/
Use the https URL to connect to the remote panel for the LT260 when SSL is enabled. For details related to
enabling SSL, refer to "2.5.18
The following window is displayed when the LT260 is connected.
Figure 1.3 Remote panel starting window
Configuring the Access Management Setting to the Remote Panel" (page 68).
With the operator panel, you can monitor, configure, and control the library from the front panel. All operating menus are displayed on the center pane.
• Remote panel
With the remote panel, you can monitor, configure, and control the library from a web browser. The remote
panel hosts a dedicated, protected Internet site that displays a graphical representation of the library.
Except of top menus, operating menu tree are displayed on the right pane.
Although the operator panel is similar to the remote panel in design and functionality, some of the executable operations are different.
Table 2.1
Table 2.1 Status icons
shows the status icons that appear on the panels and the meaning of the icons.

Amber if the library has detected a condition for which user attention is necessary, but that the library can
still perform most operations.
Amber if an unrecoverable tape drive or library error occurs. A corresponding error message is displayed
on the LCD screen. User intervention is required; the library is not capable of performing some operations.
The operator panel screen may be initialized if time elapses without logging in or during the logout process.
As a feature, the operator panel turns white for a few seconds during the initialization of the screen and then
login screen appears.
With the remote panel, you can monitor, configure, and operate most library functions from a web browser.
When possible, it is recommended that the remote panel be used as the primary library interface because
compared to the operations of the operator panel, the web interface provides access to additional features,
such as online help, and is easier to use. However, the remote panel is not required to use the product, except
to configure advanced features, such as SNMP, IPv6, encryption, and partitions.
Before using the remote panel, you must configure the library network settings and set the administrator
password with the operator panel. This can be done with the Initial Configuration Wizard. See "2.5.1
Initial Configuration Wizard" (page 27).
To start the remote panel, open the latest version of a supported web browser and enter the IP address of the
library in the browser’s address bar. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer (version 10 or later is recommended), Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

2.5.13Configuring Library Partitions
This operation can be executed from only remote panel operation.
The library has a flexible partitioning scheme with a few key constraints:
• The license option is necessary to create more than 2 partitions.
• Each partition must have at least one tape drive. One tape drive in each partition will host the library LUN
for the partition.
• The maximum number of partitions is 20.
• Magazine slots are allocated in five-slot groups.
• Mailslots must be enabled for a module before they can be allocated to a partition.
A partition does not need to have a mailslot. If a partition does not have a mailslot, the magazine must be
accessed to import or export cartridges. Opening a magazine takes the library off line.
Although the mailslot magazine is shared between partitions, the mailslot elements are assigned individually to partitions.
Wizards guide you through the partition configuration process. The wizards are only accessible from the
remote panel.
• Basic Partition Wizard
You specify the number of partitions and the wizard removes the current partition configuration and
assigns the tape drives and storage slots as evenly as possible to the partitions. Any extra tape drives or
slots are assigned to the first partition.
Use the Basic Partition Wizard to configure partitions that will have similar resources or to configure the
number of barcode characters to report to the host application and whether to report them from the left or
right end of the label for a library with a single partition.
• Expert Partition Wizard
You add or remove partitions from the current partitions configuration and then edit each partition configuration to add or remove library resources.
Use the Expert Partition Wizard to configure partitions that will have different resources or to adjust
resource assignments for existing partitions or those created with the Basic Partition Wizard.
• The library will go off line while partitions are being configured. Ensure that all host operations are idle
before running a partition wizard.
• To use backup software, leave the automatic cleaning function disabled (default setting). Enabling the
setting causes a conflict error between the automatic cleaning function and the cleaning function of the
backup software.
For operations with the LTFS option, the automatic cleaning function can be enabled. Refer to "3.8 Cleaning the Tape Drive" in "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS LT series Tape Libraries LTFS Option User's Guide" for
details.

maximum available partitions for the library.
If you want to enable or disable the mailslots, Cancel out of the wizard and update the mailslot configuration before configuring partitioning.
5Select the number of barcode characters reported to the host application.
This option provides interchange compatibility with libraries with more limited barcode reading capabilities. The maximum length is 15 and the default is 8. This configuration will apply to all partitions.
The industry standard length for LTO barcode labels is eight characters. Barcode labels longer than
eight characters might scan incorrectly, particularly if they are not high quality labels.
6Select whether to report the barcode characters from the left or right end of the barcode
label to the host application when reporting fewer than the maximum number of characters.
For example, when reporting only six characters of the barcode label "12345678", if alignment is left,
the device will report 123456. If alignment is right, the device will report 345678. The default is left.
Click Next.
7For operations with the backup software, the automatic cleaning function of the tape drive
must not be used. Leave the Auto Clean checkbox unselected.
For operations with the LTFS option, the automatic cleaning function can be enabled. Refer to "3.8

The UID LEDs are a pair of blue LEDs — one on the operator panel and the other on the base module controller.
The UID LEDs are useful for identifying the library in a data center. The UID LEDs are operated synchronously
and controlled by the user. From the Maintenance > UID LED Control screen you can see whether the LEDs are
lit, and toggle the status.

2.6.10Moving the Robotic to the Base Module
Before extending a module from the rack, the robotic assembly must return to its park position in the base
module. Under normal circumstances, when the library is powered off using the front power button the robot
automatically parks and locks into the base module behind the operator panel. After powering off the library
and before proceeding with extending a module from the rack, look inside the base module window to verify
that the robotic assembly is behind the operator panel.
If the library did not move the robotic assembly to its park position, you can do so from the Maintenance >
Move Robotic to Base Module screen.
Click or tap [Operation] in the home screen to use the library operation function. From the list displayed in the
center pane in the operator panel or the right pane in the remote panel, select the item to configure. Refer to
"1.3
Menu Layout" (page 16) for the items.
For items with a sub-menu, click or tap the item to expand the sub-menu.

2.7.2Opening the Mailslot
From the Operation > Open Mailslot screen you can see the status and unlock any enabled mailslots in the
library.
This function can be accessed directly from [Open Mailslot] on the home screen without going through the
[Operation] screen.
Be careful not to remove the wrong tape cartridge or install a tape cartridge in the wrong partition slot.
For this reason, check the following points before opening the mailslot.
• Number and position of the mailslot to open
• Number and position of the slot to load or unload the tape cartridge
• Slot allocation of each partition
For details on how to check the above information, refer to "2.8.3
111) and "2.8.4 Partition Map Graphical View" (page 113).
