Note – This procedure applies only to SL3000 and SL8500 libraries.

Use the SL Console to verify that a high-memory drive controller (HBT) card is installed in the library and that the card has the correct code version. Without a high-memory HBT card, the library will not supply richer drive data to STA from StorageTek and LTO drives. In addition, you will not be able to enable the ADI interface on the library if you have LTO drives. See “Drive ADI Interface” for additional information.

Note – All SL3000 libraries are shipped with the high-memory card, as are all SL8500 libraries beginning from 2006. Nevertheless, it is recommended that you use this procedure to verify the correct configuration.

Note – SL8500 FRS 8.0 allows the CLI config print command to be used to obtain HBT card information, in addition to the SL Console.

Note – If you have an SL8500 or SL3000 with Redundant Electronics, the following procedure checks the memory status of the active HBT card only. However, if you are running FRS 8.0 on an SL8500, you can check the memory status of both the active and standby HBT cards within the Redundant Electronics folder in the device tree. To do so, expand the Redundant Electronics folder, then select each HBT card (hbta, hbtb).

The screen displays details about the drive controller (HBT) card.

If High Memory HBT indicates “low” or the “u‑boot.bin” entry is missing, then contact your Oracle support representative.
