Test network speed

By enabling the iPerf server, port 5201 is opened for testing purposes. To perform the test, install iPerf3 on the remote system and execute the performance test as follows:
iperf3 -c <DATA-IP DES SILENT BRICK SYSTEMS> -p 5201
Restore Library Configuration
The 'Load Library Configuration' function enables the configuration of virtual tape libraries to be restored on a new Silent Brick controller if required.
A prerequisite for backing up and restoring the configuration is a connected USB stick.
Activation by FAST LTA service is required to use this functionality.
