ESETTING THE
Many troubleshooting or error recovery operations only require resetting
the LCM as described in Reset the LCM or RCM on page 378. Because
resetting the LCM does not affect communication with hosts, servers, and
software, backups can continue while the LCM resets.
Performing some types of troubleshooting operations or recovering from
some error conditions will require you to reboot (power‐cycle) the entire
library. Power‐cycling the library resets all of the components in the library.
Do not reset the library unless you are specifically instructed to do so. Trace data
