Checking Status and General Information
You can use the RMU to remotely check the status of a library and obtain general information about the
library. For example, you can check drive status or get the firmware level of your library. The library
automatically backs up vital product data every time you move from an offline to an online state in order to
preserve configuration information.
To check status and obtain general information
1 Click the Status tab.
The following information is displayed:
• Library Status — indicates whether the library is online or offline.

ndicates the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the RMU. This is also the
