Installing, Removing, And Replacing; Taking The Library Online/Offline - Quantum Scalar i500 User Manual

Installing, Removing, and Replacing

This chapter describes how to add, remove, and replace hardware within your library. Adding, removing, or
replacing library components may require you to power off the entire library. There are a few components,
however, that you can service without powering off the library, such as replacing tape drives. Instead, you
may only need to take a specific partition offline, or you may not need to impact the status of the library at all.

Taking the Library Online/Offline

a library offline makes it inaccessible to host applications via the SAN.
