Changing Logical Library Modes

By default, the library has one logical library enabled. The logical library mode
must be changed in order to modify the logical library or library. There are two
logical library modes: online and offline.
v Online - the normal operating condition for a logical library. In this mode, the
v Offline - the logical library does not process any host application commands. If
You can take the physical library or any of its logical libraries online or offline.
Some operations require that the logical library be offline. Administrative users can
take a logical library offline rather than the entire library so as to minimize
disruption of library operations. Administrative users must manually change the
logical library mode to online or offline from the Operator Panel or the Web User
Interface (UI).
Details on changing logical library modes include:
v The default logical library mode is online.
v When you access these screens, only logical libraries accessible by the user
When you are changing logical library mode, be aware of the following
information:
v The Online/Offline button toggles between states.
v If a logical library is in use, the Online/Office button is grayed out.
v Set the button to read Online to take either the physical library or a logical
v Set the button to read Offline to take either the physical library or a logical

Configuring I/O Stations

I/O Station slots are used to import and export cartridges into and out of the
library without disrupting normal library operations. I/O Stations in Expansion
Modules (EMs) can be configured as either I/O Station slots or storage slots.
Depending on the configuration, the library contains at least one I/O Station,
which can contain one or two magazines. Each magazine contains six slots.
v A control module contains six I/O Station slots, and one magazine.
v A 9U expansion module contains twelve I/O Station slots, and two magazines.
Note: If the library consists of a control module only, the I/O Station must be
