Shutting Down or Restarting the Library

Administrative users can use the System Shutdown screen to shut down or restart the library. Some
maintenance activities require that the library be shut down or restarted.
Shutdown shuts down the library's operating system and firmware. When performing a shutdown, the library
finishes all active commands received from the host application and does not process any new commands.
It also shuts down all partitions. To finish the shutdown, press the power switch on the front of the control
module.
Always perform a shutdown before completely removing power from the library. To completely remove
power from the library, you must turn off the power switch on each power supply. Power is completely
removed from the library when the blue LED on each power supply turns off.
To turn the library back on, turn the power switch on on each power supply, press the front power switch
again, and then follow the login procedure.
If you do not perform library shutdown before you power off the library, loss

of data could occur.
Restart shuts down and restarts the library's operating system and firmware. When performing a restart, the
library finishes all active commands received from the host application and does not process any new
commands. The library shuts down all partitions and restarts them during the reboot. In addition, the library
performs an inventory of cartridges, tape drives, and slots during a reboot. Restarting takes approximately
5 minutes for the 5U control module and longer for the 14U and 23U library configurations.
If the "Not Initialized" message appears on the operator panel after the restart process is complete, the
library did not properly initialize. View the All RAS Tickets screen to find the problem that is preventing the
library from properly initializing. See
