    摘要: A tape library system includes a plurality of tape libraries, a plurality of data centers, and an error diagnostic system. Each of the plurality of tape libraries includes a tape drive, at least one tape cartridge that retains magnetic tape, and a tape cartridge mover that moves the tape cartridge relative to the tape drive. Each of the plurality of data centers is configured to retain at least one of the plurality of tape libraries. The error diagnostic system includes (i) a central database that is configured to receive one or more error codes from each of the plurality of tape libraries, each of the one or more error codes being generated due to errors that occurred during operation of the tape drive within a corresponding tape library, and (ii) a system controller including a processor that is configured to analyze the one or more error codes from each of the plurality of tape libraries to determine a health of the tape drive and the at least one tape cartridge within the corresponding tape library.

    摘要: A climate controller for a media library having a library interior includes one or more of a temperature sensor, a temperature controller, a humidity sensor, and a humidity controller. The temperature sensor senses an inside temperature within the library interior. The temperature controller is positioned within the library interior. The temperature controller controls the temperature within the library interior based at least partially upon the temperature information. The temperature controller can include one of a temperature increaser and a temperature decreaser. The humidity sensor senses an inside humidity within the library interior and generates humidity information. The humidity controller is positioned within the library interior. The humidity controller controls the humidity within the library interior based at least partially upon the humidity information. In various embodiments, the humidity controller cooperates with the temperature controller to control climate conditions within the library interior based on climate conditions outside of the library interior.
