NEW FEATURES FOR LIBMON 2.0
  ---------------------------
  
  This release of Sun StorEdge LibMON provides the following
  enhancements:
  
  - LibAgent 2.0--
  
    LibAgent is a storage library SNMP agent that allows remote detection
    of significant tape library events via any Network Manager
    application.  LibAgent runs on the server where the library(ies) is
    attached and forwards events in the form of SNMP traps to a Network
    Management platform.  The agent technology conforms to SNMP VI
    specifications, which are supported by such products as Solstice(TM)
    Site Manager(TM), HP OpenView, IBM NetView, and CA Unicenter TNG.
  
  - Utilization of Java 1.1 class libraries--
  
    The client portion of Sun StorEdge LibMON 2.0 is written entirely in
    Java 1.1 programming language.  The server portion is mostly Java 1.1
    programming language with the exception of VERITAS and Perl code
    needed to communicate with libraries over SCSI buses.
  
  - Library Availability-Based Actions
  
    These actions trigger e-mail and pager notifications or user-defined
    commands, therefore allowing customers to take appropriate action
    immediately after a library becomes unavailable.
  
  - Threshold-Based Actions
  
    These actions identify potential problems before they occur.
    Threshold-based actions trigger e-mail and pager notifications or
    user-defined commands, therefore allowing customers to take proactive
    instead of reactive measures with regard to tape library
    availability.
  
  - Localization to Japanese--
  
    Sun StorEdge LibMON 2.0 is being localized into Japanese.

        a ' can't find applet' make sure that your browser is up
        to a supported rev . LIBMON 2.0 requires a minimum of netscape 4.0.5.
 
 
To configure a library execute the SCAN-DEVICES command to list the
devices attached to the machine:
 
        # /opt/SUNWlmon/SCAN-DEVICES

names must match the names used by the Backup utility ( I.E.
/dev/rmt/ohbn , etc ... ).  Also in this dialogue box you can
select the LIBMON to notify the contact when the Library
goes Offline, or when the Library goes online.
