Verify the HBT Drive Controller Card Version (SL3000 and SL8500 only)

For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries to send rich drive data to STA, the library must have a high-memory drive controller (HBT) card. Verify that a high-memory HBT card is installed in the library.

See Library Requirements for HBT hardware requirements.

This procedure is performed using the SL Console. For SL8500 FRS 8.x and SL3000 FRS 4.x, you can also use the CLI config print command to display HBT information.

  1. Using SLC, in the Tools menu, select System Detail.

  2. In the navigation tree, select Library.

  3. Select the Properties tab, then select the Drive Controller tab.

  4. Verify that High Memory HBT indicates true.

  5. If you have an SL3000 (FRS 4.x) or an SL8500 (FRS 8.x) library with Redundant Electronics, expand the Redundant Electronics folder, and then select each HBT card (hbta, hbtb). Both should indicate True for High Memory HBT.

  6. If the library does not have a high-memory HBT card, submit a service request to Oracle Support to have one installed.
