Restore The Mlm Backup File; Delete Mlm Records From The Database - Spectra Stack Tape Library User Manual

CHAPTER 6 - CONFIGURING AND USING MEDIA LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Restore the MLM Backup File

If you need to reset your library to factory defaults, it is helpful to restore the MLM
database so you do not have to manually rediscover MLM cartridge information. You
must use the RMI to restore an MLM database.
Use the instructions below to restore a previously saved MLM database to your Stack
library.
1. Log into the library as a user with administrator privileges.
2. From the toolbar menu, select Configuration > System > Save/Restore
Configuration.
3. Click Restore MLM Database to expand the section.
4. Click Choose File and browse to the location where the MLM database backup
file is stored.
5. Click Upload File & Restore. The library restores the MLM database.

Delete MLM Records From the Database

If desired, you can delete the MLM record of a tape at any time. This is useful when a
tape is retired or permanently exported from the library. If you delete the record of a
tape that remains in the library, the MLM record is re-populated the next time the
tape is loaded into a drive.
Note: MLM records for a tape can only be deleted after the tape is exported from the
library.
1. Log into the library as a user with administrator privileges.
2. Display a Media Lifecycle Report as described in
page 175.
3. Locate the barcode of the cartridge you want to remove from the MLM database
(see Step Chapter 6 on
JANUARY 2023
page 169).
